The fully enclosed garden was great for our dog, and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. A very pretty and tranquil courtyard setting and a stunning barn conversion. Fast WiFi, too. Have already recommended to friends.

A bigger tv and bigger sofa would make this area great. Having said that, it was comfortable as it is. We really enjoyed our stay, there were 5 of us plus the dog- plenty of room. The hot tub was cleaned daily and well used by us. Owner was very friendly and checked everything was ok.

The location is good for getting to local attractions such as Bewilderwood and The Ice Cream Farm, which was the reason for our visit. Paul was welcoming and answered the few queries we had throughout our stay. The only thing I would advise is with young children it would be helpful to have a stair gate at the top of the stairs but this is absolutely an us problem and we enjoyed our stay all the same. The property benefits from a dishwasher and washing machine and a fridge freezer. The large dining table is great to gather for dinner. We travelled with 4 children under 9 we enjoyed the open plan layout downstairs. Unfortunately the weather didnt allow for a bbq but the views and secure garden were also brilliant. We would definitely recommend and stay again if we needed to. Thank you for having us!
