Three generations of our family and our three little dogs enjoyed a wonderful week away at Queens Barn. The Barn itself had been lovingly restored and tastefully furnished to provide luxurious and very comfortable accommodation. The bathroom and shower room were magnificent and felt very opulent and the bath tubs were truly amazing. The kitchen facilities made family dining easy and it was a joy to cook on the Aga, We all thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and curling up on the sofas in front of the wood burner. Queens Barn has an amazing history and offers exceptional value for money. We greatly appreciated the cream tea and Prosecco our hosts kindly provided to welcome us and the privacy we were given.

The accommodation offered everything we needed and was delightful. Very cosy and comfortable. The owners were very welcoming and friendly.It was the best cottage we have stayed in for our dogs too with access to the paddock such a bonus, which meant we could have a relaxed start to our mornings.There were so many things to do locally for the family.All round, perfect for us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at Queen's barn. The barn is wonderful, full of character and well equipped with everything that you'd need. The hot tub was a very welcome addition after our tiring days out. The barn is in a great, private, location, close by to lots of interesting towns/villages and not too far from the coast. Jane was super helpful and accommodating and even let our dog use the paddock on site. The one small issue that we had was resolved very quickly. This place is a gem and would definitely recommend it.
