Coombehayes Barn was a perfect place for all the family to relax and have fun. The house is comfortable Spacious and very well equipped We all loved the warm pool, it was hard to get the children out !! But they also loved the local countryside, beaches, woods and stream. We can’t wait to stay again.
We had such an amazing experience at your property. The decor was unbelievable, we really felt like we were on the beach! The pool was big and warm and feels outdoors!
Our kids had so much fun in the pool and the well equipped garden.
Thank you so much Mike and Kate
A great time was had by all of the family at this cottage whether it was our children splashing around in the (perfectly warm) swimming pool; playing table tennis or sitting together as a family playing games. The location was perfect, house clean and well equipped and Mike & Kate very easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!
