We had an amazing stay at Barn Howe! Everything is well thought of, including the welcome pack, all the facilities, extensive range of games and toys which would be perfect for all ages if the weather meant you couldnt go out! The house is immaculate throughout, well maintained, and catered to all our needs! We'd definitely consider booking again, and recommending to family and friends! Thank yoy
Cherie
What an amazing holiday home. We had a fabulous week here. The welcome pack was extensive and gratefully received, what a treat. The home is luxurious throughout. The owners really have thought of everything. Our daughters who are 4 and 7 enjoyed all the space, especially the gardens. A very relaxing and enjoyable time away. Thank you Charlotte for all your hospitality.
Shirley
Just returned from a 3 night stay at Barn Howe, the property is absolutely amazing, everything about it was perfect. The owners have obviously put a great deal of thought in to it. Its so luxurious and comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. The location is so peaceful and the views are incredible. I would definitely recommend and wouldnt hesitate to book it again.
Helena
A wonderful house that has a real wow factor as soon as you walk in. It has everything you could need for a stay, from lovely smelling toiletries to soft towels, and even tower fans for the hot weather. The house is well decorated with lots of lovely touches and it was spotless throughout. Last but not least, the view is amazing!
Stunning cottage truly a homefromhome with thoughtful little luxuries throughout. We were a bit anxious about booking as there were no reviews, but were so glad we went ahead. The cottage has everything you could possibly need, all to a very high standard. Its location is perfect for relaxing and recharging, with plenty of space and a peaceful setting. There were even things we didnt realise wed appreciate until we arrived. Sky TV and Netflix were a real bonus for cosy evenings, and there were games and books for children, plus a safe outdoor space for them to run around. It was just the two of us this time, we would love to return, maybe with the grandchildren. It was was spotless. Absolutely immaculate, which gave us real peace of mind too. Lots of walks nearby. Position of hot tub takes in the views perfectly. Honestly, we cant recommend this place highly enough.
