Our second visit to Stone Barn. Great location, short walk to Pooley Bridge, approx 10 minutes. Cottage very well equipped with everything you might need. I cooked a Sunday dinner. Clean and warm, parking right outside the door. Grassed area for dog right next to cottage, shared with other cottages. Lovely hosts, on hand if anything needed. Welcome pack of basics...and homemade flapjack 😋
