This was our second stay at Highford Barn. Excellent cottage - very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Also, the hosts were extremely thoughtful, considerate and helpful. Despite the rather wet weather we really enjoyed our holiday - the cottage more than made up for all that the weather lacked!!!
