Ivy Barn is cosy and comfortable. The views are simply stunning. Thereâs also the added bonus of onsite donkeys and I was also treated to a visit from the owner dog. We will certainly be making another visit.

It was a complete home from home and I absolutely did not want to leave. The cottage is in a perfect location for walking around Carsington Water straight from the door! I didn't touch my car all week, just how I like it. Furface and me will be returning, hopefully later in the year. I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage and its views to anyone (as long as you don't want to go when I do ;)) Thank you so much for having us xxx
