Guests say
Dutch Barn Two offers a peaceful and scenic retreat, ideal for those seeking tranquillity and beautiful views. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, well-equipped interiors, and the relaxing hot tub with stunning countryside and sea vistas. The location is remote yet conveniently close to local towns and attractions. The property is dog-friendly, though some guests noted the garden fencing could be more secure. Friendly and welcoming hosts contribute to a pleasant stay. While a few minor maintenance and comfort issues were mentioned, the overall experience is highly positive, making it a popular choice for repeat visitors.
The majority of guests found the property to be very clean and well-kept, with several reviews specifically highlighting the spotless condition of the cottage and hot tub. Only a few minor comments were made regarding maintenance, but overall, cleanliness is a strong point.
The location is frequently described as peaceful, remote, and offering fabulous views, yet still within a short drive of beaches, shops, and attractions. The rural setting is a highlight, though the narrow access road is noted by some.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with cosy interiors, comfy beds, and a relaxing atmosphere. A few reviews mentioned issues with sofa comfort and creaky floorboards, but these were outweighed by positive comments.
Facilities such as the hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, and enclosed garden are praised. Some guests noted minor issues with garden security for dogs, BBQ maintenance, and a lack of detailed appliance instructions, but overall, the amenities are well-received.
Hosts are described as friendly and welcoming, and some guests appreciated festive decorations and attention to detail. However, there is no consistent mention of welcome gifts, and it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed.

We stayed Monday to Friday with our dog at Dutch barn 2 and what a lovely time we had. Tucked out of the way with no noise and views that were exquisite from the garden and hot tub. The property was very clean and had everything you need to make it a real home from home. You do need a car to access the local area but there is plenty to do for days out. On a night time we settled down and watched the TV in the living room, although there are also TV’s in the 2 bedrooms as well if you don’t fancy watching the same thing. There is internet available too. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to anybody looking for a relaxing time. Monique was a great host and made us feel really welcome and was on hand if we needed her help for anything. Book it you’ll not regret it!!
