Church Barn is absolutely beautiful, an idyllic place to spend my birthday weekend. There’s lots of space, the beds and sofas are comfortable and the garden is stunning. There’s a table tennis table, boules, cards, jigsaw puzzles etc - lots to do whatever the weather. With a few minor tweaks this would definitely be a 5 out of 5. The nearest pub, The Three Fyshes, is excellent and only a 15 minute walk away.

Had a fantastic stay last weekend for my 30th birthday. Wish we had booked longer, a lovely spacious property, very comfortable and clean and well equipped. We didn’t need half the supplies we brought. We can’t wait to come back. Exceeded our expectations.

Booked this barn for a long weekend to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday.Beautiful location, wonderful warm barn with plenty of space which meant that we didn’t feel on top of each other. Fantastically clean - comfortable beds and bedding. Would thoroughly recommend.
