It was an absolute joy to arrive at Little Barn. Thoroughly clean and very well equipped. A thoughtful welcome pack and fresh flowers. Beautiful views and lots of footpaths. Horses, sheep and hens on the farm. Host Liz and her family (and Pat and Peter) plus Rosie the lovely dog couldn’t make you more welcome. I was very happy to book again for a longer stay.

My husband and I and our little dog stayed at this gorgeous cottage august bank holiday weekend. Cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything you would need. It was like a home from home. The view out of the cottage was lovely surrounded by fields. Loved seeing the horses being fed each day outside the door. Local pub was just a 20 minute walk away. Lovely welcome gift of Prosecco and cookies and eggs and milk in the fridge was a lovely touch. Also a beautiful vase of fresh flowers on the side. All in all a lovely relaxing and chilled weekend.

What a beautiful little spot! I stayed here the night before my wedding at Stretton Manor Barn and then my husband and I spent our wedding night here!The barn was beautiful, extremely clean and had everything you would need and even a bottle of prosecco on arrival which was such a lovely touch. Myself and my bridesmaids got ready here on the morning of my wedding and the surrounding area was absoultely perfect for photos (even the photographer commented on how lovely it was!) The owners children even gave us a horse shoe for good luck as a present which was incredibly thoughtful! Couldn't recommend enough - the scenery, the barn and the hosts! Definitely make sure you book, we can't wait to go again for our anniversary!
