Oliver
We loved the peaceful setting and the gorgeous surroundings. The hot tub under the stars was definitely a trip highlight, really special!
Harriet
We had a lovely stay at the Tractor Barn, which is beautifully modern and really well equipped. The location is peaceful, perfect for a quiet escapeand it's handy being close to the main house - plus, the grassy area was great for our dog to run around. The hot tub was a bit of an effort to heat, but worth it once ready. Underfloor heating kept everything cosyand the bedroom was super comfy, even during a storm. Overall, a really enjoyable few days!
