Natural light pours in through the large glass patio doors and an eye-catching exposed stone fireplace with a wood burner is surrounded by elegant sofas surrounding a chic coffee table.

Barn Croft Cottage is the best self catering place i have stayed in. It has all you could need and comfortably fits in 6 adults, 2 children and 1 dog. Yvette is a great host and very helpful. Can't wait to have the opportunity to stay again.

The house is set up beautifully inside, clean with all the kitchen equipment we needed, and plenty of space. The two double bedrooms upstairs were particulary comfy and spacious. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. In a quite village with a pub a stones through away. Yvette the owner was helpful and communication was good.
