Leave ReviewSimply stunning…total bliss
By Sarah on 10-Jul-2024I loved everything about this property! This place was so tastefully designed it had everything you needed for a peaceful and comfortable stay. Finished to a high standard everything you could have wanted was there. I loved the log burner, the main bed was soooo comfortable (we didn’t use the second room). Shower room perfect and kitchen well equipped. It was so kind of the hosts to leave milk, butter, conserves & Welsh cakes too. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. It was perfect!!
Fantastic stay at the Charming Countryside Barn
By Jayashree on 10-Oct-2024We had another fantastic stay at the Charming Countryside Barn, just six months after our first visit. The fact that we returned so quickly is a testament to how much we love this place and consider it our preferred accommodation in the area. Hosts Libby and Peter truly go above and beyond to ensure their guests have an incredible experience. Their care, attention to detail, and willingness to help make all the difference. The quality of the items and products provided to guests is exceptional, reflecting the high standards Libby and Peter maintain to make every stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. It's clear that they put a lot of thought into every aspect of their service, which makes the stay even more delightful. We highly recommend this beautiful place for anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing getaway!
Great stay!
By Naveen on 28-May-2024We recently had the pleasure of staying at the "Charming Countryside Barn" and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Nestled in the heart of nature's beauty, this charming retreat provided the perfect getaway. The barn itself was cozy, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Waking up to the serene views of the countryside was a highlight of each day and the peaceful surroundings allowed us to truly unwind and relax. Our hosts, Peter and Libby were incredibly helpful and welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home and added a personal touch to our stay. I highly recommend the "Charming Countryside Barn" to anyone looking for a tranquil retreat in a stunning natural setting. We look forward to returning and experiencing this again! Thank you Peter and Libby for a memorable stay.
Perfect :)
By Alex on 23-May-2024A beautiful location, accomodation was perfect, so clean with everything that you need. A real treat, just a shame we didnt get to spend longer here. Would highly recommend & would love to come again.
Best place we've been
By Nicole on 07-May-2024Absolutely blown away. The photos are great but still don't do the place justice. Not only is it's in a stunning location, the apartment is beautiful. Fitted out with a very stylish kitchen and bedroom, the bathroom was the jewel in the crown. I suffer with high functioning anxiety especially when it comes to cleanliness as I have Emetophobia, so it's always important I have cleaning supplies with me. But this place was immaculate! The owners both greeted us and we're lovely. We're looking forward to returning.
Exceptional
By Helen on 21-Apr-2024What a treat to stay in this lovely Barn conversion, perfect in every way! Everything had been thoughtfully considered to a high standard with all you need to make the stay both comfortable and better than your own home. A couple of great night sleeps in the best beds you could ask for, wonderful rural location but close enough to get to a main road. Top of our list for a repeat visit to the area and would highly recommend to others.
