Lockwood Barn is set in a quiet location offering a perfect escape and an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful countryside it is set in and the nearby coastline. The Barn is full of character and charming decor, we especially loved the stable door and big sash windows. The lay out was perfect for our little family and our 8 year old Foster daughter loved having the upstairs to herself, with a big bed, ensuite and a cosy snug area to hang out in! Howard, our sausage dog has never been so chilled, he loved pottering around the secure garden and being part of our family holiday. Thanks for everything, Beth! We hope to come back in the future.
