Beautiful barn, very rural and peaceful location, just how we like it! Stunning scenery and lots of beautiful walks surrounding the barn, especially up to the hill top fort. The barn is so warm and has a wonderful wood burner for Winter evenings. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very dog friendly and the garden is totally secure even for our adventurous cocker spaniel. James is an excellent host, often seen around on his tractor and on hand if you need him but not intrusive in any way.If you’re looking for a peaceful week enjoying unspoilt countryside, nature, beautiful sun rises and incredible stars at night - this is the place to be. Thank you James for a wonderful stay, we will be back!Thank you also for the goodies, very much appreciated! ☺️
