The barn was lovely-spotless, cosyand really calming. Di, the owner, was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Our dog Cassie adored the garden; she even got a chance to flush out some pheasants, which she loved. Great stay!
Emily
Our group of 8, including kids, grandparentsand two dogs, had an amazing stay. The view was breathtakingand the layout of two doubles and two twins suited us perfectly. We loved the hot tub - a hit with everyone! The garden was huge and kept the dogs happy all day. The place was so peaceful and well-equipped, really high standards. Plus, the location made it easy to visit nearby beaches and towns. Di was super helpful too. We'd definitely love to come back someday!

We recently stayed at Purchasers Barn for a girls' weekend, celebrating my 60th. The place is beautifully decorated, with such a lovely layout and stunning views that really make it special. We loved the cosy atmosphere the aga created, especially after getting caught in the rain during a walk-definitely a highlight! Our host was incredibly helpful and friendly, making us feel so welcome. It's the perfect spot for relaxing and catching upand we left feeling refreshed. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful escape!

The place was spotless, had all we neededand the views were stunning. The host responded quickly and was really friendly. Can't wait to come back!
James
We had an amazing stay for my 60th birthday! The house was beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed. The garden was perfect for our dogs-they really enjoyed exploring, though one did manage to escape twice into the lower field, which was a bit nerve-wracking since she's a bit of a digger. The large garden and ample parking were great, but some extra lighting would help in the evenings, as it gets quite dark out there.
Emma
This place really impressed us! The setting was stunningand the house felt spacious and cosy, with comfy beds. The hot tub was a real highlight. Can't wait to return next year, definitely recommended!
Emma

The garden was perfect for our dog, with amazing viewsand the hot tub was a real hit, used daily. The location is ideal, close to loads of attractionsand the coast is just half an hour away. Huge thanks to Di for being such a great host. We definitely need to come back- a week wasn't enough!

Can't wait to come back!
