We had a fantastic stay at this stunning barn! Perfect for our family gathering, especially with 14 of us, since there was plenty of space and enough bathrooms so everyone could get ready without fuss. The hot tub was a real treat after a long night, helping us relax. Helen, the owner, was lovely and really helpful-she even sorted out extra bedding when we needed it last minute. Honestly, we’d love to come back. It’s a brilliant place for a breakand we all left feeling really happy!

We had a lovely stay at the barn, not far from the beacon walk! The place was spotless and modern, with everything we needed. Nine of us fit comfortablyand everyone loved the powerful showers and huge towels. The hot tub was a real bonus after long walks. Parking was plentifuland the owners were super friendly and easy to reach. We’d definitely return-cows making noise in the morning was quite the charming wake-up call!
