Kathleen

North gate barn is beautiful. spotless and well equipped with everything you need for a stress free holiday.. in lovely grounds, with the bonus of peacocks, pheasants and 'dolly' the sheep wandering up for a chat!!. Along with alpacas, chicken, goats and pigs. The owner Julie is lovely, very helpful and discreet, which was appreciated. We had some treats left for us and a box of chocs when a car alarm went off in the night, even though we didn't hear a thing. We would definitely return here.

Lovely cottage, spacious (4 adults and 2 children), and clean. Enjoyed having the farm animals on site and children loved feeding the pigs. Hosts welcoming and helpful and we had a lovely Jubilee tea with them. Location not far from main road, made it easy to get to many nearby locations.

Gareth

We thoroughly enjoyed our week here in May. It was one of the cleanest properties we have ever stayed in and it's a beautiful location. Our son enjoyed seeing the animals, feeding the pigs and walking around the grounds and we had a lovely welcome from the owner. There's plenty to do 20 - 40 minutes away by car, and Quince Honey Farm is a two minut e trip away which is also definitely worth a visit. The kitchen is well equipped and we had everything we needed to cook meals in the evening.

Pranesh Reddy

We had wonderful time at the Northgate Manor, the property had everything- lovely views, comfortable, caring hosts, abundant parking, clean rooms, hot tub, farm animals inc. Alpacas, and plenty of space to accommodate all six of us. Mrs Cripps was an amazing host, she brought some toys over for our little one to play with. All in all - a great plac e and can recommend it to anyone.

Michael

We cannot offer one negative, the accommodation was beyond our expectations. From arriving to leaving we were overjoyed.

Michelle

We had a lovely stay at the Barn a few weeks ago. Beautiful accommodation and lovely owner, the extra touches were really appreciated. Would stay again 5

Jane

A fantastic cottage in a great location with beautiful views. Julie was so helpful and all the animals were an added delight. We had a great time and would definitely like to return.

John

Our 4th holiday, and as always it was fantastic, great location, great facilities, and well looked after, would highly recommend.

Tanya

If you are thinking of booking this cottage do it - you wont be disappointed, its the best placed we have ever stayed and the most dog friendly. The cottage is absolutely fabulous and the owners are wonderful. The cottage is superbly appointed and extremely comfortable - its like being in your own home. The location is stunning and sitting in the h ot tub star gazing is a great way to end the day. We spent a perfect family Christmas at the cottage with grandparents and our dogs. Thank you

Owen

Lovely area, lovely house and very relaxing. However the owner clearly has an aversion to large dogs. Despite us being clear when booking and in emails and calls, when the owner arrived to welcome us this welcome chat very quickly became a warning chat about our dog. For context he is a German shepherd, friendly and well trained. The owner then kep t our 50 deposit for cleaning. All of which she attributed to our dog, none of which is true. Relaxing week with a nasty sting at the end.

Carol

Returned to cottage after lovely stay last year. Again could not be faulted. Im sure we will return

Jackie

The first thing that stuck me as soon as I walked through the door was how spotlessly clean the property was, I knew immediately that we would be extremely comfortable and that we would be back. Loved the grounds, around the property, the animals and above all Georgie the sheep who happily wanders around doing her own thing. I would have no hesitat ion in recommending a stay at North Gate Barn. Cant wait to visit again.

Julie

Beautiful cottage. spotlessly clean. Note no downstairs toilet this was a struggle for us as I have arthritis in both Knees and my husband had just had heart surgery.
