We love it here. This is our 4th time at the barns and we’ve booked our 5th time for next year. Beautiful cottages, good location, great WiFi, great hot tub. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely time at the Maddocks, had a bit of confusion with directions as the satnav took further up. We we directed quickly following a phone call. On arrival the place was well clean and felt homely. Lots of things to do around and enjoyed going for walks. The only downfall which we were an aware of prior to our booking was the restrictions about lowering your volume by 11 am. So this was a birthday occasion and it did not go down very well in terms of freedom. But l would recommend it’s a lovely place and views are absolutely beautiful

We loved our short time at the Maddocks. The area is quiet with amenities within a short walk from the house. The hot tub was a firm favourite for us, whilst my son enjoyed having a great size garden for kicking a ball around!We would love to come back.
