We just booked the barn, not the entire place which sleeps 14. It’s a beautifully renovated barn, really well done. It’s tucked down a narrow lane but offers stunning views of the river. Very peaceful spot and the barn had all the equipment we needed. Owners were quick to respond when the induction hob gave us trouble. Lovely stay!

The garden was perfect for the dogs and kids alikeand the play barn was a handy bonus, even if a bit snug for table tennis. Overall, a great stayand we’re already looking forward to next year!
