The renovated barn is cosy and comfortable and has everything that is needed. Bob and Carolyn are very thoughtful: they have provided plenty of information on the local area, including walks from the cottage as well as an honesty shop with ready meals and some essentials. We did not have long enough in this idyllic spot and hope to be back. ##### Gillian Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### caroline 1 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### A place to get away from everything. A wonderful peaceful place. Beautiful, lovingly converted barn. Everything you need for a relaxing break. Great living space, plenty big enough for us and our pups. The games barn is nice but due to spending far too much time walking and being pooped in the evening. Vast swathes of forest accessible right from the doorstep (although remember to get the gate lock code from the house manual). Lovely small fenced area to the rear of the barn where you can sit and eat outdoors with literally just the stream, birds and rustling of the trees for company. A great place to really get away from it all. ##### caroline Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven 11 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Steven Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely quiet break.
