We had a great long weekend at Hockerhill Barn, its in a lovely location, was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was so well equipped unlike some weve stayed in. We travelled with another couple and this place was perfect. Only wish we could stayed the whole week but work dictated otherwise, would definitely go back, superb.
