A quiet escape in a very rural location. The owner was friendly but we had our privacy- with a welcome of tea, coffee, milk and gorgeous jam and cream scones in the kitchen waiting for us.

We stayed at Owl Barn for 5 nights at the beginning of July and I would highly recommend it. It was fully equipped with everything you needed and very spacious. We were a bit worried that as it was on a farm it could be noisy and a bit smelly but it wasnt at all. You would never know you were on a farm it was so peaceful. The added bonus of the hotRead more tub was fab even on one evening when it was pouring with rain. Would definitely visit again and recommend it to everyone. Hide
