Celebration at the Barn
As soon as you walk in the front door you feel the warmth and cosiness of the house. A lovely welcome pack was awaiting us, eggs, bread, biscuits, bananas and also a tub of sweets which we shared around the log fire in the evenings. The pool is great and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in it. Kitchen is more than adequately supplied with a generous fridge freezer. We have very happy memories of our stay in the barn and can thoroughly recommend it.

Great greeting and welcome pack and the pool is amazing
We pulled up and the welcome was great, Nick saw us through the stay to see all was OK but the house does need some TLC. The road outside was busier than we expected and large lorries do travel past frequently. There was a wasp nest in one of the bedrooms that had been treated but they still came out of the wardrobe doors. The fishing was great but you do need to be aware that dogs are not secure as they can run out to the main road if they are not good off the lead as ours are not the best. We had loads of fun in the pool, hot tub, fishing and walking in the field.

Excellent stay! Great countryside retreat with open wood burning fireplace, indoor heated swimming pool, outdoor hot tub, lake, billiard I can go on and list many things to do. Equally big outdoor fields, nearby farms shops and plenty of forest walk around the corner. Hosts Nick and Lindsey are lovely and very accommodating.
