I came to stay with my family for my 50th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. the view from the hot tub was incredible and we saw birds of prey, a weasel, a partridge, pheasants and were greeted by chickens at our front door most mornings.

We had a lovely long weekend staying at The Barn. Everything we needed was there and very clean. Towels for the hot tub are not included so make sure you bring some beach towels. We loved waking up to the sounds of the animals. Very lovely spot with beautiful views. I would highly recommend.
