. West Barn did not dissapoint. Such an amazing place, the surroundings, wildlife, countryside, Woodlands. The Barn itself has such a lovely open living space, a very comfortable bed, spotlessly clean. I can't thank Belinda enough for allowing family to visit us during the day so we could all enjoy ourselves. Perfect place to stay if you want to relax. Show quoted text
