We have visited this barn 4 times now. It is in a fantastic setting and is fully equipped with all you need to make a remarkable stay. All the barn's fixtures and fittings are of premium quality, this is evident even the bed linen has been chosen with thought to ensure the guests comfort It is in a peaceful location but within east reach of shops etc. It's location is fabulous for walking and safe areas to walk dogs. Also the dogs can let out and can wander around the properties outside space as it has been fully fenced off, which if you are taking your dog is such a welcome addition.The owners also leave a welcome pack which contains milk, bread etc., but also a bottle of fizz all of which is a really nice personal touch. They are happy to help with any information you may need, but, also leave you to leave you to enjoy your time there.

This was our second stay at Old Farm Barn, which speaks for itself. It is a truly lovely conversion which has been done to a very high standard. It's in a great location for visiting the many highlights of the local area, and the host is a friendly and helpful person. We are already planning another stay.
