This is a lovely barn on a working farm, plenty going on , lovely walks to do and sunsets to watch . We visited three local pubs with the dogs for dinner and all were excellent. The barn is well equipped and has everything you need including games and dvds for the less brighter days. Linda and Clive were great hosts .

Cowslip Corner really was idyllic. Dreadful weather meant a couple of days in and they were the best! Cosied up with the log fire burning, reading books (who normally has the time?) or playing board games with the family. Definitely one to remember x
