Guestbook for OAKVIEW BARN - SLEEPS 4
The Crockford Family, 18 April 2009 A 'perfect' location away from it all!
The Jennings Family, 7 April 2009 We had an excellent time and would like to pass on our thanks for giving us such a clean & tidy property to stay in, in such a stunning location. We enjoyed a walk every night down to the river as my 18 month old son was obsessed with throwing stones in the river & looking at the horses!!
The Breydin Family, 14 March 2009 We had a fantastic weekend at Oakview Barn....Most impressed with the accommodation and the welcome park. The location is tranquil and beautiful. Dominic aged 3 loved it as much as we did. We can't wait to return!
Mr and Mrs Allsopp-Jones, 1 March 2009 Accommodation was exceptional....The barn is in a splendid location with beautiful views and very quiet. A perfect getaway from it all. We will be back!
