Wonderful stay in a quiet rural location. Barn beautifully designed, spotless, with plenty of amenities and thoughtful touches, plus a cosy log-burner. Hosts friendly, welcoming and very helpful, especially with local directions and suggestions for walks. Breakfast was absolutely lovely! Would happily return.
