This stylish converted barn with original stonework and exposed beams sleeps up to eight guests and three canine companions. Entertain your guests in the games room, dine alfresco in the south-facing garden with countryside views or unwind in the large open-plan living space.

What lovely accommodation. We booked both barns for a family Christmas and New Year celebration. With 4 adults, one 3 year old and 1 dog in Dunwood View and 4 adults and 2 dogs in Dunwood Retreat, the accomodation was exceptional. Lovely and warm, with everything you'd need in the kitchen. We hope to be back

Great house with everything we needed for a lovely family weekend away. Rooms were all very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Having the en-suites was great for an all adult group. Great to have options for table tennis and pool when the weather wasn't so kind! All in all highly recommended.

Matt and family were excellent hosts on hand next door in case of queries. The property was spacious, comfortable and well equipped for our group of 7 adults. We made good use of the pool and table tennis tables in the barn and enjoyed beautiful views across the fields beyond the patio. We were ideally situated for exploring the area.
