Reviews

Cannot fault the property. Very comfortable with all mod cons. It is well placed to visit the local attractions. Mrs Marilyn Barritt - 11th September 2018
Friendly, helpful hosts.Mrs Debra Shier - 17th July 2018
The bedrooms and bathroom facilities are particularly good at this property, there being a choice of bath or shower, all in excellent order. The beds are the most comfortable self catering beds I've slept in, and for that reason alone I would return to Hartley Dyke Barn, as its important when on holiday to really be able to get good sleep. The owners are delightful and very knowledgeable about the area, and very accessible to answer questions and generally chat. I would certainly recommend this property and hope to return.Mrs Elizabeth Bosworth - 30th April 2018
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the place and its owner.Mr Godfrey Rehaag - 16th April 2018
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
