Honestly, this holiday cottage exceeded our expectations! The owners were super helpful even before we arrived, answering all our questions. When we got there, everything was spotless and well-maintained. The downstairs kitchen had everything we neededand the lounge was really comfy. Upstairs, the bedrooms and bathrooms were just as lovely. The garden was perfect for our dogs to roam freelyand the view from there was stunning. The hot tub was definitely worth the extra - we loved it!

We had a lovely weekend at the Dutch Barn with friends and our three dogs. Jim was super helpful, always quick to reply and even let us check in early, which was a lifesaver. The barn itself was spotless and beautifully decorated, with comfy beds and hot showers that never ran out of water. The views are breathtakingand there are plenty of dog-friendly walks right on your doorstep. We also enjoyed a couple of local pubs, The Bird in Hand and The Rising Sun, both within walking distance and serving tasty food. Would definitely come back!

We absolutely loved the Dutch Barn! It's a fantastic place to gather friends and family, beautifully renovated with great attention to detail. The indoor and outdoor spaces are both lovelyand the views are truly breathtaking. The village is just a quick 10-minute walk, with a cosy pub and post office - perfect for essentials. Being in such gorgeous countryside makes it tough to leave, but honestly, the house itself is so stunning, we didn't want to go anywhere else! Definitely a place to unwind and maybe pop open some bubbly.

Really enjoyed our stay; the house was cosy and perfect for a relaxing week.
Laura
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely house. It's well-equipped for group cooking and has plenty of bathrooms, which was great. The walks from the doorstep are fantasticand seeing the sheep next door was a lovely touch. Just a heads up, the fence isn't secure for all dogsand they need to stay downstairs, but overall, a lovely place!
Emma
We had an amazing stay at this place! The house was super clean and spacious, perfect for our family and 5 dogs. The location is stunning, with plenty of scenic walks nearby-definitely a highlight. The garden with the hot tub was a real treatand we loved having access to the tennis court. Luckily, the weather was kind, so we could enjoy the outdoors and relax at the cosy pub afterwards. The big kitchen and dining area made everything so easy with 7 adults. We'd definitely come back!
Alex
We really enjoyed our time here. The location was spot on, making it easy to explore the area. The place was spacious enough for our group of 7 plus 4 dogs, which was perfect. The hot tub was definitely a highlight and got plenty of use! The Dutch Barn welcomes dogs, but the upstairs area isn't accessible for them, which was a bit tricky since we're used to having our dogs on the same level as us. Still, overall a lovely stay!
Emma Clarke
We absolutely loved our stay at The Old Duch Barn! The place was spotless and perfect for our big family. It's a great spot to chill out and just relax, especially with the hot tub and access to the tennis court. As dog owners, we appreciated the lovely walks nearby. The local pub in the village was a treat, especially with their cider. The hosts were super helpful throughout. Overall, a fantastic break - we'd definitely recommend it to others looking for a peaceful getaway!
Jamie
The Old Dutch Barn really is a lovely spot for a getaway, whether you're with your dog or not. The place was spotlessand the amenities were spot on - everything we needed. The big enclosed garden was perfect for our dog to roam freelyand having access to the tennis court meant we got some good exercise too. The location's just right - peaceful with stunning views, but still close enough to North Curry's shop, puband tea room. The owner was super friendly and accommodating. We had a great holiday!
Emma W.
We had such a lovely weekend at the Old Dutch Barn! The place is finished to a really high standard, with beautiful fixtures and fittings everywhere. It's super spacious and the garden was perfect for the dogs and kids - all enclosed, so no worries there. The hot tub was a great touchand honestly, we couldn't find anything they hadn't thought of to make our stay easier. A fantastic spot for a family break in a stunning setting, we'd definitely come back!
