A fabulous little barn-beautiful inside and out! Very well equipped inside and full of character. The little touches of tea, milk and home-made brownies on arrival were a lovely touch-thankyou! The owners were very welcoming and friendly and on hand if you needed anything. We had a fabulous time and so did our doggies in all the surrounding country side. Will definitely recommend and hope to come again soon!!!! |
