A lovely cottage, perfect for our family holiday (3 households and 3 generations). It was well-equipped.

We rented the barn for a week with a couple of friends, and we were absolutely blown away from the very beginning!The location is beautiful, set on a lovely farm estate. The barn itself is incredibly spacious and tastefully decorated, with so much attention to detail. The kitchen even has its own wine fridge – what more could you ask for? 😊The bedrooms are wonderfully spacious, as are the bathrooms, and everything was spotlessly clean.Whenever we had a question, Clare was always incredibly quick to help and made us feel very well looked after.We would come back in a heartbeat! Even now, we still find ourselves talking about and raving about this wonderful place. It really was a fantastic stay, and we couldn’t have wished for a better location!

Really lovely place and equipped with everything that you need for a relaxing time.Quiet location, yet situated only a few minutes away from main roads and motorway network.We have stayed twice now and highly recommend it.Nothing is an issue and the owners are close by if needed.
