Reviews

I hired Alexandra Barn as the venue for an annual family get-together so it was an important decision. The property delivered on every level and was enthusiastically embraced by everyone, including Margaux the Labrador. The location was quiet, private and perfect for our event and was made particularly joyful by the presence of the Boules Court. The owner was charming, friendly and always ready to provide guidance and assistance as and when required. I would have no hesitation in booking Alexandra Barn again or its sister property, the Granary, for a smaller event.

Mr B,

Alexandra Barn was a perfect place to celebrate a special birthday. It was an amazing space to spend time with friends - lots of common space for eating and chatting, quiet spaces to chill, five comfy bedrooms, and a really well equipped kitchen. The house manages to combine huge spaces, stunning design and a real feeling of cosiness.

Mr J,

Fabulous barn - lots of space and extremely well kitted out. Amazing beds and quality bed linen/towels. Ideal dog area in large utility room. Toasty log burners and fantastic kitchen. Lovely outdoor areas and lots of parking right outside front door. Cannot fault this place and would definitely recommend. Good value too.

Ms J,
