    We had a wonderful time here. The barn was warm, cosy and very welcoming. The hosts were very attentive and there was a really thoughtful welcome basket upon arrival. The barn was well stocked, had everything we needed and the hosts were super helpful and social-able when we had contact with them. If you're up for a peaceful break then this is perfect for you. We recommend whole heartedly.
