All in all it was a very good stay . Thank you Hide

Barn Cottage was ideally suited on a farm. No farm animals anymore but surrounded by grass fields and it had a lovely clear pond for the dog.. Ideal for 2 of us and our Labrador who absolutely loved it. The dog loved the stone floor. Would recommend it for a break with your pet friend. Lovely owners.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location with easy access to many treasures. As a dog owner I would prefer there to have been private outdoor space attached to the cottage. A pleasant and comfortable stay thank you

An ideal and memorable place for a really quiet holiday. The cottage is characterful and wears its origins happily whilst having everything you need for a comfortable stay. It really is quiet - we commented when a car or tractor went by! The cottage garden outside, and in front of the owners' farmhouse, is a delight. For us who are used to the neveRead morer-dark skies in London, seeing the night sky properly was a joy. And there's lots to do in the area, incl National Trust and English Heritage. Hide
