Paula Watkins
We had a wonderful stay at Baxter Barn. It is a beautiful property in a fantastic location with stunning views. Heather & Stephen are great hosts, they were very friendly & welcoming and a real pleasure to meet. Although the property is attached to the owners home it is very private, the owners are very unobtrusive. The property was spotlessly clean, the beds are very comfortable, as is the entire property, and the shower is great, there was always plenty of hot water. Everything you need is provided, as was a very generous welcome pack, including milk & delicious treats, which we very much appreciated. We will definitely be returning and we cannot recommend highly enough. 5*
