A real lovely relaxed weekend
Plenty of space for everyone to do their own thing. Hot tub and sauna very good, bbq in nice separate barn. Very nice rooms however surprised about the lack of toiletries especially in the separate toilets. Very well equipped kitchen but not sure we put everything back where it belonged!

An amazing weekend with friends in a fabulous setting.
Big kitchen/dining area for hanging out in. The natural swimming pool was incredible. Discovering the sauna in the converted horse box and then relaxing in the hot tub with bubbles made us all feel very special. The barn with games tables (which we nicknamed the youth club) offered plenty of fun and giggles. Good host and Claire the caretaker/cleaner could not have been nicer. Will definitely be coming back.

Hello and welcome to our place. We are a family of 6 and enjoy being outside in the countryside, beaches, swimming, paddle boarding and so much more. We run a successful open water swimming business in the UK. Our place is a work in progress as it is a 16th century farm house. So always lots of work to do keeping it looking lovely.
We offer two self conatined properties - The Barn, sleeping 4 and The Cottage, sleeping 7. This is the perfect location for families to come and enjoy a private and peaceful holiday.
