Barns Farm Reviews

Rebecca
The house was lovely, tucked away in a peaceful spot. Perfect for our dogs with a secure garden and easy access to lovely walks nearby. Everyone loved it!
Charlotte
The garden is really enclosed and perfect for dogs; we loved the outdoor space overall!
Emma J.
We loved the peaceful setting and found the house super comfy. The photos make the driveway look shared, but we didn't see anyone else, which was great. The garden was really secure for our dog - a real plus since it didn't seem that way at first glance. Would definitely return!
Linda
We had a really great stay at this lovely, spotlessly clean holiday home. It's spacious enough for a big family or a group of friendsand super dog friendly with treats, bowlsand towels provided. The welcome gift of prosecco, scones, jamand cream was a lovely touch and much appreciated!
Alex Morgan
We had a really lovely stay here. The garden is perfect for dogs, all enclosed and spacious, which was great since it rained a bit. The house itself is huge and well-equipped, with twin ovens, a big hoband a massive fridge freezer. The underfloor heating and log burner kept us cosyand they even provided extra logs in the games building. We did have a small issue with the heating and hot water, but Anna sorted it out really quickly. Any questions we had were answered promptly. We'd definitely come back!
Emily
We had an absolute blast staying here! The location is perfect for a chilled out escape, surrounded by loads of wildlife - really lovely to watch and listen to. There's plenty of parkingand the outside space is ideal for sitting or playing while others relax in the hot tub. The house itself is spacious, perfect for groups or families, with comfy beds and huge towels. The log burner and extra logs in the games room are a nice touchand the water in each bedroom is a bonus. We'd definitely come back!
Emma
We had an amazing stay! The house was beautifully decorated and impeccably clean. The games room and hot tub added a fun touch. There's plenty to explore nearby too. We'd definitely come back if we're ever in the area again! Definitely recommend.
