A lovely location with great views. The property is very well equipped which the owners have obviously taken a great deal of time and effort to ensure guests only need to bring is food and drink for a wonderful stay. The 2 bottles of bubbly in the fridge was a lovely touch.

We stayed at Tithe Barn for a girls weekend and we honestly couldn't fault it. The setting is so beautiful, all the areas inside the barn are fab. We had a beautiful dinner in the dining room. Ruth was also very helpful (especially when we realised we'd left a couple of bags there!). We would all recommend a stay here.

Fantastic holiday accommodation, every thing you could possibly want or need. The owner was very helpful and responsive to our questions. If you require the beds to be split into singles then the owners need to know in advance. Great location, we had great fun with the pool table and hot tub. Highly recommend.
