Reviews
We stayed for a week in the 2nd week of April with our old and not so mobile dog. The Barn far exceeded our expectations and is wonderfully laid out and equipped with everything you would need. Ali, the owner is very kind and helpful with any needs and lots of tips on where to eat etc. It is so peaceful there you can just totally relax. Would we stay there again. Absolutely. Would we reccomend. Definitely. Thank you Ali. Steve, Nicola and Ben the Dog.
