I rarely leave a review but I cant not for this holiday cottage. We have just returned from our second trip to The Tall Barn. It is by far the best and most equipped cottage weve stayed in. Margaret was so lovely and welcoming and the kids had great fun with Hector the puppy. Perfectly located for so many places including the fabulous quince honey Read morefarm. Highly recommend this cottage and we are already looking at when we can do a return trip. Hide

The tall barn was lovely to stay in. The cottage had everything we needed. We had a lovely welcome from the owner on arrival who gave us some tips on places to visit with the dogs. The grounds were incredible, we couldnt have asked for more!

We really enjoyed our time at the Tall Barn - everything was spotless. Wonderfully comfortable beds and a very well equipped kitchen. We loved sitting outside in the unusually warm evenings. Margret was a very kind and hospitable host we hope to visit again one day. Thanks Margaret.

A lovely, comfortable, well-appointed cottage in an accessible location. The outdoor space for our dog was awesome and made the holiday work so well for us. Everything was thought of and we would happily recommend and visit again.
