Lovely accommodation, dog friendly but unable to let them off the leads in the garden as not fenced off. Loads of places to visit.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful rural location. Orchard Barn was spotlessly clean and so very well equipped with everything we could possibly need. It was so lovely to have the countryside views to see birds, rabbits, deer and cows. It made a perfect peaceful and relaxing break.

Probably the best property we have rented and we have rented many One of those reviews I don't really want to write so I can stay here any time I like but ..... beautiful and exceptionally clean property, well appointed and tastefully decorated, in a peaceful rural setting. The owners have thought of everything to make their guests feel welcome and comfortable, and have created a very relaxing and calming ambience. Have thought very hard but no, nothing could have been better!
