The Barn is in a beautiful and quiet location and close to many outstanding walks even some lovely walks from the barn itself. We managed to see wild ponies a kingfisher, foxes and even a mink by one of the canals. Anna is a wonderful host she greeted us on arrival and told us about places to visit she had made us a delicious cake. A must visit is the Stables Inn just up the road from Barn quaint old style pub lovely atmosphere and good old pub grub.
