About this property
The Barn is a reverse level cottage overlooking the courtyard. Beautifully converted, it is warm and welcoming accommodation for small families or adults all year round. On the top floor you will find the hub of the cottage, a big lofty open plan living space with cosy rugs over the wooden floors, pretty watercolours, French windows to a balustrade letting in the light, a traditional wood burning stove and a well equipped kitchen area where you can sit and enjoy leisurely meals. Head downstairs into the two en suite bedrooms, both of which open to the courtyard. Outside is the shared sunny courtyard and the six peaceful acres where you can find restful spots for enjoying this country idyll. Note: The Barn can be booked with The Gallery, The Pottery and The Music room and together they can sleep 14.

The directions to find the property were really clear and comprehensive. The property was absolutely immaculate throughout and the homemade scones and jam were wonderful on arrival. I would note two things, in case these are a concern for you; the owners live on site but for us this meant that then we had a question about the recycling and wifi, they were on hand to help out. Also, for The Barn, there is no private outdoor space, it's all shared with other guests and the family. There is a lot of space to explore, however, which we enjoyed. Our daughter loved our time there and we made sure to say goodbye to the sheep before we left.

The owners who live on-site were warm and welcoming, easy to talk to and happy to help. A few minor maintenance issues with the property but nothing that was an issue and was raised with the owners. The property itself is a fantastic space, incredibly generous, and the wider setting of the farm has lots of local walks. Would definitely recommend and would happily stay there again!

Lovely large space upstairs but a little cramped in the smaller bedroom. The shower over the bath gave us problems because the shower head needs replacing . I was disappointed to see there was no welcome pack and this is a small issue but it really helps especially when you haven't picked up some milk on the way after a long drive. This is the first holiday let i have been to where i didn't find one. No biggie but it does have that personal touch.
