Little owls barn is in an idyllic location, so peaceful and we were lucky to have lovely weather for March. The barn has everything you need, Diana and Simon have got it beautiful, it has everything you need for a short or longer break. It is really comfortable and cosy, we had a thoroughly restful break. The food hamper ileft for us was just amazing. I would definitely recommend staying there, you won't be disappointed.
