we had such an amazing stay at the Old Barn. It somehow managed to be even nicer than the photos- the garden area was lovely with a great view but the highlight was the friendly alpacas in the field opposite the barn. We could even see them from our bedroom window! Everything was spotles and the hot tub was brilliant! Thank you so much :)
