Reviews
Stayed 2 nights for my daughters hen weekend. Lovely barn with lots of comfy sofas and well equipped kitchen and utility. We loved our stay. Very peaceful location. If you love animals this is a good place to stay. Sheep alpacas chickens peacocks and the owners dogs came to visit us too. Down side was the shower in main bathroom either too hot or too cold and pressure not good. And awful smell in the utility room from the drain. Also it was not possible to book taxis to and from Malmsbury. Tried to prebook but couldn't. Worth knowing if you are planning trips to pubs etc. Overall though had a great weekend.
