Wow what a place! Booked for a long weekend to celebrate my 50th with friends and family. The barn is stunning, set amongst countryside it was perfect to get away in the peace and quiet. It was so well equipped we couldnt have wanted anything else at the property. The open plan layout on the top floor was an absolute hit with everyone, plenty of space to entertain and socialise. Then, venture into the other side to find the snug and games room with pool table and table tennis, it kept the grown up 'kids' and adults entertained and somewhat competitive! The bedrooms were super and the amount of bathrooms meant everyone was happy. Outside, the wrap around garden was secure for the dogs and i enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and birds singing first thing, so peaceful. Although the weather was not great we still managed to walk from the barn into surrounding areas, letting the dogs enjoy a run on the open field at the top of the hill. We honestly did not want to leave, thank you for a perfect weekend.

Well equipped, warm and ideal for a large family. The only problem was the spasmodic internet connection.

A great accommodation which is situated in the peace and quiet of rural Herefordshire. Plenty of great walks, pubs and attractions nearby as well as a fun games room and living space in which to chill. We loved it, our children and our granchildren loved it too!
