Instantly âwowedâ by the accommodation and spectacular views. Even the views in the sometimes heavy rainy days that followed were magical - reflections of classic daleâs scenery!! A great week and lasting memories of out stay at The Barn; and fascinating conversations with Chrissie & Johnnie.

The barn, farmhouse and surrounding gardens are beautifully kept with numerous potted plants and flowers. Wild ducks on the pond next to the patio, a few hens scratching about and bees in the orchard! Inside the Barn there is everything you need to feel right at home and all maintained to a high standard.
