Absolutely loved our stay; the hot tub was brilliant. Lovely location, animal lovers paradise with rabbits, hedgehogs, bats, owls...and sheep of course!
The Barn was everything we wanted and we would happily visit again...
Lovely, spacious property with good size secluded garden space with hot tub and secure paddock for the dog to explore. Absolutely perfect for a family get away and a great base from which we were able explore both the east coast (Seaham) and the Lake District.
Very friendly & helpful hosts.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Barn. It was exactly as described, immaculately maintained, very comfortable and beautifully converted with such attention to detail. Our hosts were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We are seasoned self catering holidaymakers and this was one of the best. Many thanks Nigel and Debbie.
