We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Priory Barn, in spite of the UK October half term weather! We received a warm welcome from Liz. The cottage is very well appointed, with lots of thoughtful touches - things like a proper mattress for the travel cot, and a kitchen with everything one might need. Our children enjoyed seeing the animals, including the "guard geese". Would recommend!

This is our second stay and it didn't disappoint. We just love it here. The fresh eggs to buy are a bonus. My grandson in particular was a fan and of course we had to bring some back home with us. It's a nice base for sightseeing in the area

A beautiful, very roomy barn conversion on a working farm. Spotless inside and out and extremely comfortable with lots of homely comforts. every bedroom was ensuite giving each guest privacy alongside extremely spacious kitchen and living area for spending quality time together. Lovely walks nearby to the canal. The only downside for us was the proximity to quite a busy road and traffic noise was heard throughout the day and the night.
