Horse And Farrier Barn Reviews

Michelle
Great house in a lovely location with fabulous views. Everything clean. Very comfy beds. Bathrooms all seem recently updated. Great round table big enough for 9 in the kitchen. Lounge a bit sparse and not very cosy , so would benefit from a bit of tlc.

We had a lovely stay in horse and Farrier barn we thought it was a bit on the expensive side for 3 nights , the kitchen is in need off a bit off renovation looking a bit tired , but the location was lovely , views all in all we had a lovely stay
Stephen
Had an amazing stay for 3 nights over Christmas with a big family gettogether. Beautiful house which is very homely with high quality fixtures and facilities, didn't want to leave! Fantastic scenic location with sheep coming right up to the kitchen window and a view of mountains as the backdrop. Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans so we successfully cooked a Christmas dinner for 9. The owners went above and beyond, the house was tastefully decorated for Christmas and we had even been left some extra trays to cook turkey in. Could not recommend a stay at Horse and Farrier Barn more strongly!
We are a family of 3 generations. We found the Horse and Farrier Barn suitable for all of us. The 3 bathrooms were a god send! Everything is very clean and comfortable. We spent most of the time in the kitchen dining area which leads to a lovely, well kept garden. The sheep in the field next to the barn were very friendly, and curious! Even coming to the window to see us!!
Brenda
We loved the property, our family party had an amazing week. We just loved the views, of course the friendly sheep. Everything in the property was top notch so comfortable. It's in a great location for visiting the lakes.
Stephen
The property was ideal for an extended family. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay.
All absolutely lovely ! only thing i could think of is a blind would be nice on the kitchen window as the sun shines directly in at sunset and was slightly annoying. but other than that absolutely perfect !
