The welcome basket of food was a particular positive, and the owners are friendly and helpful. The next time we are in the area, we will book again.

Quiet relaxing barn. Well appointed with cutlery and crockery as well as anything else required. Owners on site and very helpful. Down a single track country lane (not for those who cannot reverse well if meeting traffic in the other direction).
