The perfect location for a girly family get together. Pond Barn is an immaculate and beautifully presented property in an idyllic, peaceful setting. No expense has been spared in the design and furnishings of this place. We had a yoga session on the decking, went for walks on the huge grounds and saw some wonderful wildlife. The beds and pillows arRead moree super comfy and we all enjoyed restful nights sleep. To top it all off Gemma is a friendly, helpful host and super responsive to our questions and needs. Would highly recommend and will definitely be staying again! Thank you for hosting the perfect place for us to create some unforgettable memories! Hide
