Beautiful memories made with our family thanks to Susan. An exceptionally beautiful property at a fantastic location. Really well kept and Susan helped us with any questions we had. Worth trying to get to idle hands bakery if you get a chance. Sweep the cat was very welcoming too!
What an utterly beautiful building, and interior design. Every last little thing was thought of for our stay and the welcome provisions were the utter best. Can't thank you enough for the help whilst we were there and being so kind and helpful. It is a remote stay but we really wanted that, and it was perfect. Shame we weren't staying longer, my kids said if they could give it higher than 5 stars, they would!
We couldn't have been happier with our stay at The Barn. Everything was perfect! Susan was amazing. The Barn was amazing. The garden was amazing! Maggie & Millie were amazing. A neighbor up the road was amazing. The whole trip couldn't have been better. I can't wait for our next vacation just so that we can come back and stay at The Barn again. Thank you so much for making the end of our vacation perfect.
