"On arrival the barn was cosy and warm with lights on to welcome us."

It is beautifully appointed down to the very last detail and spotlessly clean; comfortable beds, reclining sofas, plenty of room for 6 and very private; I would highly recommend

"A lovely stay in a clean and well equipped house."

Thankyou for letting us stay on extra nights. Just a couple of nit picks..could do with a tumble dryer and the sofas have seen better days..wouldn't put me off staying again though as too many plusses.

"The accommodation was truly wonderful."

Well kept, clean and user friendly. Instruction booklet and things to do booklet very comprehensive and easy to use. Although near small exclusive caravan site the area was beautifully kept and quiet. Weather not sunny enough for us to use the outside area but again it had everything one needs to have drinks outside and to do a bit of private sun bathing. Yes would recommend this accommodation to anyone who wanted an upgrade getaway.

"Barn Cottage was an absolute gem!"

The description online was 100% accurate. Everything we needed was provided in the cottage. The beds were very comfortable, the interior & the grounds surrounding it were immaculate. The owners were on site when we arrived & were friendly & said if there was anything we needed just to ask. There was nothing lacking but it was reassuring to know they were only a call away. A fish and chip van visits on Wednesday evenings and the food was delicious

It was lovely to meet you all. Thank you for such a lovely review, so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us ! Property Owner

"This was on of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in."

It was very spacious, well appointed and warm. There were plenty of places to visit and its proximity to the beach meant that our two Frenchies had the run of the beach and the fields. We enjoyed our week and we’re lucky with the weather, only one wet day. We would not hesitate to recommend ‘the Barn’ to anyone considering it.

"The barn is perfect if you have a dog as the very large courtyard if fully enclosed and the dogs can wander in and out."

Having access to the dog walking field on the caravan park is a real bonus. The whole place is beautiful and very well equipped. Lovely and clean, well designed with large light filled rooms. Lots to do in the area and the coast only 15 mins drive. Sutton on sea has a great dog walking beach. The best holiday accommodation we have stayed in.
