Friendly and approachable owners living nearby on the farm. There were 10 of us using the accommodation and we all had plenty of space and were warm, which we weren't expecting as we could see it was open plan. However the log burner and wood pellet heating system are very effective. Very well resourced kitchen, loads of games and opportunity to relax - thank you!
Very good

Ideal place for a family celebration. The Barn was great for our Viking Themed 60th birthday party. We didn’t even worry about the weather! There were 12 adults and only two toilets. We were able to cope for the weekend but would suggest that the ‘ tv snug ‘ would be better as a bathroom at that end of the main lounge. The owners are friendly and very helpful.

Loved our stay. Pellet heating worked well and have the wonderful central wood stove as well. Stair and safety gates for our toddler who loved running around. Great to have the pigs and llamas just opposite to visit. Grand piano for playing (though does need a tuning!). Great shared space. If anything was missing or needed the owner/family on the farm were able to help v quickly.
