Save the planet converted barn

Helpful friendly and unobtrusive hosts. Gave us strawberries from their allotment! The Barn has several eco- friendly features eg. Rain water capture, solar panels, recycling made easy, well insulated , bee friendly and scented garden.

Truly Excellent

We were only here for two nights but it was great. The accommodation is in a converted barn behind the main house and is great, perfectly clean and has everything one would need, including a washing machine and drier. Julia, the host, was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. When we couldn’t get the drier to work, she took our clothes to the next door neighbour and got them dried in their drier. Wonderful service,

Many thanks for your kind review and I am very glad you enjoyed your stay here. And so sorry again about the dryer. You were wonderful guests, you left the barn beautifully clean and tidy, and I'd be very happy to welcome you here again in the future. All the best for your journey home.

Comfortable, clean, private, great value

Very clean with enough space for 2 people including large bed. Well stocked kitchen. Didnt get to use the fire as property was warm enough without (in an overcast mid April). A big plus was that the WiFi was strong in an area of low 4G coverage. Beautiful garden - and though this is in the back of the host's house, we were given complete privacy. Well placed for accessing the local area. Hosts very hospitable with lots of information about property and the area, including walking guides. The sky lights aren't completely covered which means its bright in the property once the suns up, but this didn't bother us too much as we were up early to get exploring.

Perfect for a break for two!

The property is cosy, compact, quiet, secluded and just perfect for a break for two. The village and the surrounding countryside add to the experience totally. The owners were also thoughtful, considerate and very pleasant. 100% all round from me.
