Harriet
We stayed at this charming barn in the countrysideand it was just lovely. The walks nearby are perfect for a peaceful escapeand the Village Maid pub has fantastic food-definitely worth the short 10-15 minute stroll! The accommodation was cosy, warmand exactly as shown in the photos. The hot tub was already heated when we arrived, which was a real bonus. The host was super helpful with questions about the heatingand there was plenty of space for everyone. Highly recommend!
Charlotte
We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are huge and beautifully furnished, making the place feel really luxurious. The hot tub was such a lovely bonus after a long day out exploring. There's plenty to do nearby, with supermarkets and petrol stations just a short drive away. The house is nestled between two others, so if everyone's outside at once, it can feel a bit close to neighbours - not a biggie, just something to keep in mind. Overall, a fantastic getaway - we felt like we'd stepped into a little slice of paradise, although our own house seemed tiny afterwards!
Emma
