Excellent accommodation, beautiful views, well equipped everything we needed. Only one downside was the narrow single track road leading to the property, but we copped with that. Very friendly people all round, and the little village shop had everything we needed. We would definitely think of going back for another holiday there in the future.

Hopewell Barn was very clean, comfortable and spacious, with great views from the terrace. It had everything we needed and was a good base to explore the surrounding area. We had a great holiday and would definitely recommend it if you like peace and quiet in the countryside.

Lovely house in an amazing spot. The views are phenomenal. Lots to do locally. The owner Jonathan is a lovely chap and helped sort a leaky washing machine. The house has most of what you'd need for a week away, measuring jug would be a good addition. No welcome pack. My only real gripe is that the cleanliness of the house was quite poor. Cobwebs absolutely everywhere and floors are all very dirty / sticky. When you pay over £1000 for a week the property should be cleaned to a high standard, in my opinion anyway.
