A cottage with the WOW factor as soon as you walk in through the door. We were a party of 4 adults, 2 children and a toddler enjoying the incredible spaciousness of the property. Hot tub was well used - but take your own towels, only 1 towel supplied per person for showering/bathing - and there is no tumble drier in the property. Be aware that lengRead morethy building work is going on next to the cottage (this is not mentioned on the website) - noise was not excessive during our week at The Brick Barn but it was hardly the 'peaceful' environment expected. All in all, a wonderful holiday home let down by minor irritations. Hide

We stayed as a family of 7 adults and two children for 7 nights during the School half term holidays. The accommodation was faultless. So much room for everyone and everything on one level so no stairs to worry about for the 2 year old grandson. Everyone loved the log fire which we lit most evenings.

The Brick Barn was absolutely wonderful. A beautifully decorated and we'll equipped property. The guest book was very handy and the location exactly what we hoped for, a quiet escape with friends. The house has masses of space and provided a very relaxing place to spend time with friends.
