We stayed at The Barn with our 4 small kids for a week, and it was a lovely stay.
The kids loved playing in the gardens and exploring the rivulet, then coming back to sit in front of the fire to warm their frozen hands and feet.
You can't beat the location, with fresh coffee, food and amenities all within a minute's drive or a short stroll.
The city is very accessible, straight down the Brooker and you're there in 10 minutes.
But when you're in The Barn relaxing, you could be a hundred miles away.
We can't wait for the next time we come and visit.
