Reviews

A really lovely place to stay, well equipped, nice and clean and views to die for! The hosts are so helpful too.

Mrs N,

Lovely stay in a beautiful house and location. Well equipped and cosy. The hosts are very accommodating. Lots of activities in the area. We ate at the local pub one evening and the food was great, staff are extremely welcoming. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Mrs H,

Great family house in a great location. Very good communication from the host. Welcome pack was very good.

Mr H,

Great location with lots to do within a short drive. Great views from the house and it was well suited to our two families with a great layout. We'd happily go back.

Mr G,

We were a family group of 8 adults, with 2 dogs, and we had a lovely time at the Haybarn. It was a great location, central to many interesting places. The facilities were great. We had a fab time, and look forward to coming back.

Mr R,

Ideal cottage for friends get together / large sociable kitchen diner / nice bathrooms / only slight negative was non opening windows in one of the bedrooms

Mr Chris M,

All fantastic - my only non maximum score is whether we would go back again - it is a long way for us and we did go for a particular purpose that might not repeat itself in the future. But certainly were others to identify a trip to that part of the world I'd say this would be a brilliant base.

Mr Jeremy P,

The only down side was the WIFI this didn’t work very well wasn’t strong enough for 7 of us

Mrs Demelza B,

Great stay at the Haybarn, had everything we needed and in a beautiful setting. Booking was easy and information provided up to arrival was extremely helpful. Overall a great experience.

Mr David C,
