This was our second visit with our Granddaughters, we had a great time. Cedar Barn is very comfortable, clean, homely and has everything you need. The pool is absolutely lovely, clean, warm and well maintained, we had a great time using it. Caroline and Martin are wonderful, friendly hosts very welcoming, but leave you to get on with your holiday but are on site if you need them. They left us a lovely treat basket, tea and milk and even treats for our dog. The zoo next door is a great place to visit, we purchased a pass for the week, we visited everyday and the girls didn’t get bored with going, there’s lots to see and do especially in school holidays. We look forward to visiting Cedar Barn again.
