A magical weekend away
Our stay was simply amazing. I don't have one negative comment. Beautiful location, a really stunning property, the hosts were incredibly friendly too. I can't rate the accommodation highly enough - nothing was missing and we even got a welcome packet of cookies. Very, very, very positive experience.

Stay at Boathouse Barn
Excellent accommodation and surroundings. The boathouse barn was well equipped with everything you would expect and the owners provided all the information we needed. Perfectly suited our group of 6 being made up of my husband and I and our 2 sons and their new wives (plus 2 dogs). Good walking, access to water sports and the tennis court made the stay so enjoyable for us all. Thank you

One of the best UK breaks ever
Great property and location. Didn’t need to venture very far as there was much to appreciate and enjoy at the barn house. The house is clean and furnished to a high spec. We made good use of the tennis courts too, in between water sports and generally relaxing. There were good walks, runs and cycle routes from the place. So overall everything you would want from a holiday home.

Despite the very wet weather all weekend, we all had a wonderful stay. The property is very impressive with everything you could want. The location is amazing although due to the weather we didn’t get to explore. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we will be back .

Fabulous riverside retreat
Beautiful house in a fantastic location, next to a stream. The owners were very welcoming & helpful. Plenty of options for active time: tennis court, canoeing/ paddle boarding on the river, cycling nearby lanes, or just sit with a G&T watching the kingfishers & ducks. House was really well laid out, fitted & kitted out. A nice social space to cook for the family, great fun for our 14-78 year old group.
