My stay at Flinks Barn as been wonderful. The property is very warm, clean & comfortable and is fully catered for that home from home experience. I loved the small details of the complementary fresh farm eggs and tea & delicious cookies for my arrival.
I really enjoyed the surroundings of staying on a working farm and also enjoyed the daily walks in the beautiful countryside.
The owner has been an absolute delight and gone above and beyond to make sure my stay has been welcoming and comfortable.
When I visit the area again this will be my only choice of stay.
Many Thanks 😊
