We have just returned from a wonderful and relaxing stay at Orchard Barn. On arrival into the cosy barn, we were greeted by a sumptuous homemade cake and treats for our dog Daisy. During our stay, we enjoyed some lovely walks and explored the local area. Unwinding in the hot tub throughout our stay was a real luxury, not forgetting the nights curled up on the sofa in front of the log burner. Sylvia and Kristian were such wonderful hosts, thank you for having us. We hope to visit again soon.

This is a such wonderful find. It was our second visit to Apple House to see in the new year and it did not disappoint. On arrival, the lovely Christmas tree, tea lights twinkling, home made cake, fresh eggs, not to mention a lovely bottle of Champagne was just the welcome we needed. The house is cosy, warm, spotless and the hot tub is a lovely luxury. Cuddling up around the wood burner with logs from the barn was a lovely way to relax. Sylvia was a wonderful host, nice to have a chat with her and Christian but she also left us to enjoy our family few days together. This is a good base to explore the local area but also to chill, unwind from the bustle of life. We love it and will definitely be back!
The Powell Family
We stayed 5 nights in Meadow Barn which was perfect from start to finish! Sylvia and her family are awesome, the kids all help out with looking after the barns too! We relaxed, we explored & we were so well looked after! Our dogs enjoyed it too! We very rarely return to a property but this will definitely be a ‘go to’ place for us!

This place was so lovely and the perfect getaway, despite storm ciara doing her best to make it awful! Sylvia was an amazing host and was so accommodating! Lovely touches in the barn like homemade cake and fresh eggs and flowers. Will definitely go back!

Sylvia was very welcoming from start to the end of stay. Booking the barn was very easy and the process was quick too. On arrival, we were very pleased with the appearance of the barn. Took a night to get use to being downstairs and the living room and kitchen was upstairs. Set up within the barn was beautiful and had excellent views from all windows. Kitchen area was well equipped from baking utensils to wine glasses for the use in the hot tub. Barn was not cold even though Storm Dennis hit us hard. Shame the weather waste bad to use the outdoor facilities. Location of the barns was near to the A30 and good driving distance to nearby towns. For local food shopping, a trip to Strawberry Fields Farm Shop is a must. We will be definitely returning back to the barns even if its two of us using Tractor barn. Thank you Sylvia for your hospitality.

We has a fantastic stay here for my husbands 50th. We took over two other properties as well. The tractor Barn was a great for us as the main hub with its open plan space where we could all gather, eat & socialise. Sylvia was so accommodating, we had several dogs with us & they were welcomed with tennis balls & plenty of space for walking & the stream a real bonus for our water loving pack. I cannot recommend highly enough, all properties were finished to a beautiful standard, with high end equipment & furnishings. The hot tubs were an added bonus & still pleasant in March in the wind & rain!

A beautiful covering of snow, the perfect backdrop to snuggling down in front of the log burner in one of the barns.
