This was my second visit to Nellie's Barn. The cottage, facilities and location make this a very special place to visit. Being dog friendly is a bonus. Debbie is so supportive and welcoming which makes the stay so much more enjoyable. I feel from looking at other reviews she really is the key factor in it being so popular. I look forward to returning again.

This was our second stay at Nellies barn. The location is amazing and our dog Pip loves it!!. The barn is finished to a very high standard with underfloor heating, log burner and all mod cons you could want. Despite being in a rural setting the Wi-Fi works well. As always there was a very nice welcome basket of goodies upon arrival (thank you Debbie). We will definitely be coming back for a third time in the future.
