What can I say about the Barn at Birchley Farm... Amazing building, huge space, Warm and inviting, well decorated with a modern addition throughout but not losing the country style heritage to the building. Hosts were friendly & helpful. Nothing was any trouble for them and they made us feel welcome. Thank you very much, we would definitely stay again and would urge others to stay at Birchley Farm.

We had a wonderful time at this beautifully decorated barn. Everything we needed was thought of in terms of facilities and equipment. The location is perfect for exploring, however we had terrible weather so spent most of our time in the barn, playing board games, cooking and eating, which was very relaxing and exactly what was needed after a busy festiva period. I would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed. The hosts are also lovely and very helpful.

The Barn is beautifully decorated and everything you need has been considered - it’s a pleasure to stay in. The ground floor bedroom and bathroom worked very well for my parents who have some mobility issues.
