Stop here for the weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary, what a absolute wonderful place to stay, the standard of the property was second to none, all the modern features and hot tub make this property one of the best we have stopped in. Heather was really welcoming with a bottle of fizz and a homemade lemon drizzle cake, even popped in to say goodbye too.Would definitely recommend this property

My 2nd stay at White Heather barn and just as fantastic as the first!! Very clean and well looked after and a high quality finish throughout and has everything you could need. The hot tub was lovely and just what was needed to ease the aching muscles and relax after the walks in rather hot temperatures for a bank holiday week!! Lovely walks straight out of the cottage towards Butterly and luckily we asked Heather about the footpaths before going across to Butterly station in all our Steampunk gear!! Quite a few styles and one field had cows with babies in!! Heather is on hand if you need anything or have a problem and always willing to help if she can. The only thing I will say is there is limited food options within walking distance, plenty of pubs though.
