Captains Barn

We enjoyed our stay in the Captains Barn, the accommodation was of a very high standard with lots of little extras which enhanced our stay.

Our Dog was very well catered for with nice little touches that made him feel very pampered. The owners greeted us on arrival and made sure our stay included everything we needed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Truly Magical Escape We Never Wanted to Leave Captains Barn is nothing short of magical.

From the moment you begin the drive through the most breathtaking countryside, with views that look as though they've been lifted straight from a postcard, you can feel the stresses of everyday life start to disappear. Then you arrive, and somehow the reality is even more impressive than the photographs. The pictures simply don't do it justice. The property is absolutely stunning, far larger than we expected, with beautiful spaces, incredible attention to detail, and a warmth that immediately makes you feel at home. Julie and Tim were wonderful hosts from start to finish. Friendly, welcoming and thoughtful, they made sure we knew where everything was and how everything worked, which made settling in effortless. The welcome gifts provided were incredibly thoughtful, from local snacks to apple juice from their own apple trees. Every detail has been carefully considered and the property has not only been finished to a high standard but it is spotless and exceptionally well maintained. The kitchen is really well stocked with everything you could possibly need, the bedrooms are wonderfully comfortable with blackout blinds for a perfect night's sleep, and the bathrooms are filled with useful extras and thoughtful touches that elevate the whole experience. As dog owners, we can honestly say this is the most dog-friendly place we have ever stayed. There were feeding bowls, a dedicated feeding station, a god wash with shampoo, spare bowls, treats, and an enormous basket overflowing with blankets and toys. It genuinely felt as though Bear was just as much a guest as we were. In fact, we're fairly certain she didn't want to leave any more than we did! One of our favourite things was simply sitting beside the pond, watching the world go by and soaking up the peace and tranquillity that surrounds the property, including watching the hot air balloons. It's one of those rare places that encourages you to slow down, breathe deeply, and appreciate the simple pleasure of being present. Captains Barn is more than just a holiday cottage; it's a place to truly switch off, recharge and reconnect. Leaving was incredibly difficult, and that's probably the greatest compliment we can give. We arrived looking forward to a relaxing break and left wishing we could stay forever. We can't recommend it highly enough, dreaming of our return long after we've gone. ❤️

Captains Barn was absolutely lovely.

The property has been done to a very high standard with everything you need. One of the nicest places we have ever stayed. Pretty sure we will be going back.
