Alison
better than advertised. watching the stars from the hot-tub was amazing. beds were comfortable and h welcome pack was really good too. Met the hosts upon arrival, they were really helpful and knowledgeable about the area and made us feel at home. we made use of the windbreakers that are at the property and were a god send on the beaches. a real gem of a place if you want piece, quiet and space.

The owners were so accommodating and friendly. The cottage was incredibly clean and very well equipped. The bonus to the whole place were the two dogs that my children adored, if they werenât with the dogs they were playing in the hot tub. We really had the most wonderful time not being far from the beaches and restaurants but able to come back and have some quiet time as a family away from hustle and bustle. Just what we needed. You wonât regret booking Sunbury Barn; the count down for us is on!

The barn had all we needed and the hosts were very helpful if we had a query. Our girls and dog got on terrifically with Daisy & Maisy the owners dogs. We stayed during the hottest week of the year so it was lovely to use the outside space when at the barn. A fantastic location for family or romantic stay, highly recommended.
