Family reunion weekend

Ideal accommodation and location for a group get together. The accommodation is clean, spacious and well equipped. The extensive grounds are great for recreation and relaxation with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Laura and Scott are very welcoming hosts and on hand in case of need. Fully recommended.

A fabulous weekend

14 of us enjoyed a family weekend in The Old Cart Barn and The Granary set in the most beautiful countryside. On arrival Laura, the owner, met us and was very helpful. Our enclosed garden was ideal for our 2 dogs. The kitchens in both buildings were very well equipped with everything we needed and there was plenty of seating for all of us in The Old Cart Barn both inside and out. We all had dinner on Saturday night at The Fox and Hounds in nearby Riseley which was delicious. We highly recommend this accommodation and would wouldn’t hesitate to return.
