Boathouse Barn is an absolutely delightful place to stay. A peaceful, tranquil retreat, yet only a ten minute walk into the village. The barn is beautifully presented but is also extremely practical, particularly if you have a dog with you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Classy accommodation - free of clutter and spacious. Rented for a special family break - plenty of room for 6 adults & 2 dogs. Comfy chairs suitable for older people. Good facilities and simple to use. Warm with good light. Nice wooded grounds available for walks and adjoining footpaths. Easy to keep clean. Would use again if in area.
