Paper Barn was a lovely setting and very cosy and comfortable. I travelled with my 2 year old and 4 year old and at no point did I feel like it wasn't appropriate for young children.

What a lovely cottage. Set in quiet countryside with stunning views from the back, and horses and ducks to watch out at the front, it was perfect for us. The secure, lawned garden was ideal for our dog and the cottage itself was the best equipped of all we have stayed at.

The description doesn't really do the front of the cottage justice - it faces into a really pretty large courtyard with grass and apple trees in it, and a lovely old brick barn - not a muddy farmyard with vehicles. There are a couple of horses in stables, which is nice to see, but it is all clean underfoot and good for a potter round. Otherwise theRead more cottage is lovely, as described, with countryside views at the back. The description of access sounds daunting but the main drive in is fine. Hide
