Weve just returned from the most amazing family weekend away, and I honestly cant recommend this place highly enough! There were 16 of us in total 10 adults and 6 children and the house catered for us perfectly. The five fabulous en-suite bedrooms were beautiful, and the large kitchen table meant we could all sit together for meals, which made tRead morehe weekend even more special. The lounge was absolutely huge and the perfect place for us all to gather to watch the World Cup together. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped with a phenomenal amount of plates, cups and glasses, and having two dishwashers was an absolute game changer! Two ovens and the BBQ were ideal. The double doors opened straight onto the garden, field where the children spent hours playing football, rounders and other games until late in the evening. There were also lots of activities on site to keep everyone entertained, whatever the weather, and the children loved visiting the animalsthey were so cute! We also enjoyed a fantastic Sunday roast at The Bull & Heifer, just a mile away. Its a bit uphill, so we drove, and it was well worth the short trip. I could go on and on about how wonderful this place is. We genuinely had the best weekend and hardly needed to leave the accommodation because everything we needed was right there. It was the perfect place for making family memories. Hide

We booked Highgate Barnhouse for a stag do weekend and it was excellent. The owner was lovely and everything was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room for us all and we had a lovely meal at the local pub. One thing we did miss was oven gloves and tea towels (and we also ran out of toilet roll!) but this was clearly noted on the listing so just makeRead more sure you double check what is included and what isn't! It just meant we needed to go to the shop, which isnt far away, so it wasn't a massive deal. Hide
