Fantastic spacious 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom barn conversion with open fields to let dogs run immediately behind and a 4 km wooded walk beyond. Extremely friendly owners live across the farmyard. Local shop and tea room within 100 yards and local pub (same owners) within a mile, connected by a footpath along the road.

Great location. Lovely tearoom in the village. The pub is temporarily closed but there's a good one (Victoria Inn) a 15 minute walk away. Our dog had a brilliant week with all the fields and walks around the village.Huge property with bedrooms split across different levels. Beautiful renovation with massive ceilings and original beams. Owners are very friendly and called in when we arrived.Could do with a deep clean - there were some areas that were a bit grubby, and the hot tub was very dirty after the jets had been on so we didn't go in. But bed linen and towels were clean and kitchen was well stocked with equipment.
