We had a good stay and the photos do not do the inside of the house justice it was way better than expected. Our only negative was the gardens do not look like the photos and thats why we chose the barn so we could have some greenery and some space for our dog.

We was welcomed and showed round and really enjoyed the afternoon tea that was left for us and relaxing in the hot tub. Hide

Really enjoyed our weeks stay in this fantastic setting everything about the cottage was fab and Gavin and Nikki were very accommodating and were always on hand if you needed anything. One suggestion the pictures on the website need updating as do not do the garden the justice it deserves as it's an oasis of peace and tranquility.

Such a wonderful place to stay. The barn was very comfortable with an eclectic style and had a lovely private garden. Watching all the birds visit was a highlight for me!
