I think we can safely say we will be visiting again. Next time hopefully our puppy won't chew anything of yours. ( watch the postman ) Kath has left a piece of herself in this world, that piece has most definitely gone into the conversion of this barn. Beautiful and comfortable. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Little touches such as milk and mince pies, crackers and wine and even treats for our two dogs. An extra special thoughtful touch. Will definitely be booking again
