  Elaine was friendly and welcoming.

  Ash Barn, on a working farm, is in a wonderful and quiet location with superb views across the Northamptonshire countryside. Ash Barn is well furnished, lovely and clean, fully equipped and with a comfortable bed. We were attending Silverstone for the British GP and as the weekend consisted of early mornings and long days, Ash Barn was perfect for calm, quiet and relaxation at the end of each day. If we had one tiny comment to make, it would be that we had not realised that Ash Barn was one of two accommodations next to each other (the original farm barn having presumably been divided in two on conversion). This, of course, is not an issue however we did notice that the wall between the two accommodations must have been quite thin as we could hear the other occupants' television word for word and even some of their conversation; presumably they could hear the same from us. However, this is a minor thing and was only an issue as we were very tired each evening and wanted to go to sleep early. It would certainly not stop us staying at the accommodation again and I would reiterate that it was a wonderful place to stay ..... Thank you Elaine x

  We have always been completely happy until this stay.

  owner is, as before, very pleasant host. Whilst the daytime is very peaceful, which is what we love, the nighttime was not. We presume , guard dogs , barked many times during the night, we got up,made tea, etc. Having had this every night, we had sleep deprivation. Especially the last night counted 6 times, by 5.30am, when we decided to pack and leave. We booked both barns, having recommended the barn to friends, who also wanted peace and quiet, so this became very embarrassing for us. Our friends loved the barn and the area, but will not return again.. Having discussed this problem with the owner she is not able to say that this is a one off, but obviously a permanent situation. We are very upset, at having , what was in many ways, a perfect week, ruined, and future stays impossible. I would request a reply to this please.Your comments required.

  We had a lovely stay at Kite Cottage in June 24'.

  The property is in a perfect spot, a quiet rural location with stunning views from the rear/ garden of the properties. The property is exactly as the listing describes, and is well kept, maintained and managed. Owners leave lots of details and information and are at hand if required during your stay. The village has a shop and a pub in strolling distance with additional shops/ facilities in the local Brackley. And Silverstone is a short 5-10 minute drive away, but you'd never know! So close but the property is as serene and rural as you'd hope. I also enjoyed some lovely walk/ running routes from the property along the local paths and Bridleways. Thanks for a lovely stay Chris and Jane!

  Booked this delightful barn as a last minute break and what a find!

  If you need peace and quiet, open countryside as far as you can see and hear nothing but cows, sheep and birds then this is it. Super dog friendly holiday and plenty of places to visit. Local pubs also excellent. I noticed a poor review regarding dogs barking. Well, this is a dog friendly place and we and our neighbours both had our dog with us. The first night in a strange place is always difficult so when dogs barking in the distance disturbed us all, and both our pups joined in, it was a nuisance but it didn't happen again! Highly recommend this idyllic setting, thank you Elaine for your beautiful, comfy accommodation,

  We had a wonderful stay at Kite Cottage.

  The cottage was everything we expected and more, with all the facilities you could wish for. Very comfortable and extremely clean (more important than ever these days). It allowed us to relax inhouse, visit friends and family and do some interesting sightseeing. As we like to eat in quite often, every little convenience was thought of, which made life easy. With the added range of information on local 'things to do', we did not have to waste time researching and had some excellent dog walks. The welcome basket was much appreciated, as was the pre-visit chat with the lovely Jane. We look forward to returning :-)
