Lovely converted barn in a very peaceful location. Just what you need to relax and unwind. Wonderfully kind and welcoming hosts who are on hand but do not intrude. Plenty to see and do in the area so you can be as active as you wish .Tricky lane to navigate but the final destination is definitely worth it.
