This accommodation is a really peaceful haven. The barn is beautifully designed and very comfortable. The welcome basket was the best we have had. The owners are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The area around the property is amazing and there are some lovely pubs with great food, a fabulous zoo on your doorstep as well as national trust properties not too far away. The military jets flying overhead were an added bonus!

Cannot fault our stay one bit! We stayed for 2 nights and it was truly spectacular! The location was amazing, lovely and peaceful. The facilities were lovely and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch, everything you could ever want out of a peaceful weekend away and the pool was the cherry on top! 5* all over would go back again!
