Muse Hill Barn was the ideal location for our family 50th Anniversary celebrations. The facilities were all we could have wished for and the kitchen provided the ideal space for our "dine in chef" Our hosts Clare and Ian could not have been more welcoming and being adjacent to a working farm was an added bonus especially at lambing time.
