Reviews

The location of the property is central to a significant number of National Trust, gardens, historic houses and castles which is brilliant and the owners were extremely friendly and helpful.Mrs J Woodman - 9th July 2017
An enjoyable stay in a delightfully renovated barn, which we felt privileged to use and call our home for a week. The welcome pack on arrival was gratefully accepted, especially the milk and delicious coffee cake. We were shown around and had things explained explicitly by the hosts who were very accommodating. I would love to return at a later date and would recommend to others.Ms L Gibbons - 23rd April 2017
The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful from the first phone conversations. In person they were charming and provided a great deal of helpful information around local taxis. Having a very good farm shop and fish monger behind the property was a welcome bonus. Being able to shop for quality food, buy logs and cook a delicious dinner while sitting beside the log burner made a wet and windy evening a very cosy one. We shall return.Mr G Mccutcheon - 22nd March 2017
