  What a magnificent place. My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend here and could not have wished for anything better. The Haybarn is a home created for comfort -- from the large, comfy couch to the well-equipped kitchen to the large screen TV (nicely disguised to blend in with the artwork) to the amazingly comfortable bedrooms and large bathrooms. We visited during a cold and windy weekend and ended up spending more time inside than planned as we had a puncture on our way to dinner so had to turn back, dine in (a good second choice since my husband is a fabulous cook!) and wait for the RAC to arrive the following day. What could have been a challenging situation turned out to be quite lovely: dinner at "home" with a good movie on the telly and a few glasses of wine. And we had our anniversary dinner the following night (at an excellent pub named The Parrot, about 10 minutes away in Forest Green). We both agreed that the Haybarn was one of the loveliest places we've stayed in. There's not a sound to be heard since it's in the countryside on a beautiful farm, and it's warm and cozy enough to make you want to snuggle up and go nowhere. We were also blown away by the very generous supplies left for us by the owners - that far exceeded most of the place we've stayed. It's on our list of places to return to.

  Firstly please let me apologise as I had completed the feedback form in the lodge but then accidentally packed it.

  What a wonderful stay my family and I had. From the minute we arrived with the lovely touch of the Prosecco, eggs and condiments and the radio playing it instantly felt like home. Everywhere was clean and we could not wait to get in to the hot tub. We all slept extremely well and felt the beds were super comfy, we did forget to check what mattress it was on the double bed so if you are able to tell us that would be fab. Plenty of towels, and bathrobes for our use. We thought all the white goods worked extremely well from the dishwasher to the washing machine. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed a daily dip. We would definitely recommend staying again and if there is a way we can book direct I would be keen to know if possible. Points to note which are no way a negative but nice to know so they can be sorted. The light above the sink in the main bathroom did not work and also one light in the en suite. The room with the 2 single beds the door is very squeaky and so is the front and back doors. There was also an ants nest in the utility cupboard but it did not effect our stay. It would be nice to have a lamp of some sort in the living room for the evenings. But we still had a truly wonderful stay and would highly recommend. Thankyou so much.

  Rowen lodge was fantastic and just what we wanted/ needed.

  Everyone we spoke to was more than happy to help and so friendly! The facilities In the lodge were better than we could have thought. We really really loved the heated flooring, many bonus points. There was everything you needed to cook i.e. pots pans, cutlery. MY partner had 1 comment of maybe include more than 1 frying pan. However, didn't affect our stay plus who really cooks that much aha. The swimming pool was a great addition, but do bear in mind it is chilly water. Again, will not effect your time. THE HOTTUB IS THE BEST THING! Of an evening laying the in hot tub looking up at the stars was so beautiful. We will 100% be booking to come back in warmer weather. The local villages were so peaceful and beautiful to explore. Would highly recommend. They also have a park onsite with camping spaces and motorhome hook ups. We didn't try but a couple times a week there is a café open which seemed to have a great menu and prices.

  This is a fabulous property situated in a very desirable area and although on a main road there is very little noise or disturbance from the traffic. The house is beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable and a real home from home. One thing to consider is that the second bathroom is downstairs just off the living area so all 3 bedrooms would probably use the upstairs bathroom by default. Not a problem for a family but mixed couples may want to think about this. The kitchen is well equipped and all appliances are high end with all instruction booklets to hand (handy for the Aga!). Garden is lovely and very secluded and felt very safe to let the dog out into. The owners obviously take pride in the property and therefore doesn't feel like a sterile holiday let. Location is great with a lovely pub 3 minutes walk which serves excellent food. Would thoroughly recommend this house and would definitely return.
