Modern well designed L shaped barn conversion with French windows from lounge to private patio with comfortable patio furniture. Open plan to kitchen with all the utensils you will need including air fryer. Counter top fridge and separate counter top freezer. Next is the entrance door and vestibule, then passage to two bedrooms both en suite. The pRead moreroperty is on a busy road but double glazing reduces sound so as not to intrude and diminish enjoyment of the accommodation. However being on a bend which blind to the right, it is a risky task to exit the car park. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Tannenbaum and if we were to revisit the area. We would stay there again.

We had a great stay at Tannenbaum Barn. It had everything we needed and was perfect for the dogs. Some lovely walks, and the farm shop at the end of the village is well worth a visit. Sophie & Richard were very welcoming and went out of their way to help us during our visit - would happily stay again!
