Made a lovely little rest space from our day trips out

The barn is beautifully furnished, well- equipped, comfortable and located perfectly for visits to local attractions. The owners offer a really high standard of service with complementary items on arrival, including everything you need for your doggy companion! Lots of local pubs, easy to walk to, all serving great food. Highly recommended.

It was the perfect home away from home for us and perfect for what we needed close to the family weâd come to visit and close to the A38 to get around easily. It had everything we needed for a comfy stay and the welcome pack was lovely extra. The one thing I would say was parking is a lil tight but then I havenât driven in the uk for quite a while so that was probably more me than anything else!! Haha Thank you for a lovely stay will definitely come back the next time weâre back to visit family.
