We had a lovely, relaxing stay here. The 13th-century local pub served great food and beerand evenings in the hot tub watching bats fly by was brilliant. Our two Jack Russells got on well with the chickens next door. Definitely recommend visiting!

Stargazey Barn is awesome and perfectly placed for exploring nearby towns and beaches. The secure padlock keeps dogs safeand it's super pet-friendly with a bed and treats. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend it - really enjoyed our time there!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay at the barn, it's such a lovely place and very cosy. The location was a bit tricky to find at first because the postcode sent us the wrong way down the lane, but once we arrived, it was perfect for exploring the area. The local shop came in handy and the pub nearby was nice, just a heads up on opening times. The facilities were top-notch, especially for our dogsand the spacious kitchen was a big plus. The hot tub was fantastic, though we could've stayed longer than 15 mins! Definitely recommend.
James
This place was a real good place, just off the beaten path. Perfect for some peace and quietand close enough to beaches our dogs adored. We'll definitely be coming back sometime soon, no doubt about it.
Emily
