When we arrived at Quince Barn our initial thoughts were how beautiful, clean and comfortable it looked. The welcome pack was excellent and started our stay really well. During our stay we used the log burner most evenings, it was mesmerising and was lovely to look at while lit. Jackie was very kind and made sure that sheets and towels were changedRead more each week on a Friday. Our stay was restful and met our needs totally. Quince Barn is in a wonderful location, it is peaceful and quiet. Hide

We had a lovely week in Quince Barn. We found it to be very cosy and comfortable with everything we needed. It was clean and well equipped. We were very pleased with the breakfast treats, milk etc that were left for us. The barn is situated in a beautiful area of countryside and ideal for walking, with lots of footpaths and local nature reserves. WRead moree saw deer, pheasants and an owl in the neighbouring fields. It's so quiet and peaceful. We would thoroughly recommend staying at Quince Barn. Hide
