Wendy
The barn is beautifully appointed, immaculately clean and very well equipped. The heating and hot water worked well as it was cold and wet for most of the week. This is a perfect country getaway spot, Carol and Glen were lovely and their cats were very friendly and came to say hello. Thoroughly recommend.

We had a friendly, warm welcome from Carol with delicious homemade scones and cream - a lovely start to our holiday. Tomâs barn had everything we needed for a great place to stay. A comfortable place to sit; a lovely outside bit (which, because of the weather, we were able to enjoy); very well equipped kitchen; a lovely bathroom and very comfortable beds. The place was peaceful and welcoming and there were so many places to visit from there. This holiday let was definitely one of the best ones weâve stayed in ~ if you choose Tomâs barn you will not be disappointed.
