Bridle paths, cycle tracks and walkways abound from the door, with the ancient Monks Pathway being a favourite with walkers visiting this area.

We had a brilliant long weekend for a family birthday celebration at Mortar Barn. The barn is absolutely beautiful; the photos don't do it justice. Everything - fixtures, furniture, decor, fittings - is of a very high quality. The kitchen was exceptionally equipped, with plenty of crockery, cutlery and utensils. Huge, comfortable lounge with two enormous sofas so plenty of seating for our party of seven. Perfect accomodation for the 3 generations of our family, plus our young dog. A lovely selection of goodies to welcome us was a very thoughtful and generous touch. Cannot think of anything that let it down, or that I could suggest as an improvement. Thank you for a wonderful stay - I hope we will return one day.
