Set your sights on the tranquil and beautiful county of Bedfordshire for a relaxing staycation with your beloved hound, enjoying the riverside setting of Bedford itself as well as a plethora of exciting walks across the countryside. Sleeping four humans and a canine companion, this stunning former barn offers comfort and style in equal measure, complete with a gorgeous garden ideal for BBQ suppers and for your playful pup to race about. After a busy day, there’s nothing quite like curling up on a lavish four-poster bed after an evening of good food and fine wine.

 

Characterised by vaulted ceilings, character beams and bold splashes of colour against the warm decor, this exuberant property is perfect for relaxing, watch films with your faithful friend by your side, sharing a tasty treat or two. Step through the archway into the fabulous kitchen/diner, ready for family feasts around the table. There is an elegant family bathroom with a separate bath and shower, but the real bonus is the private en-suite bathrooms attached to the two king-size bedrooms. Outside, the decked area offers a secluded spot for drinks with a view, and there’s plenty of garden space for four-legged friends to play whilst you sizzle up supper on the BBQ.

 

Pack up a picnic and venture out to explore, strolling along the banks of the River Great Ouse or browsing the pretty independent shops. Golfers have over nine courses to choose from within 14 miles, and there are also opportunities for budding historians to soak up the local heritage with a guided walk or a trip to a museum. Sample delicious cuisine at one of the many eating establishments scattered throughout the area, opting for a quirky country pub, market town bistro or charming tearoom at the centre of a friendly village.

We absolutely loved staying at Willow Barn - a beautiful location and superb decor and facilities. Our holiday was very good as a consequence - it was a great base for travelling to Cambridge, London, Cranfield University for an event there - and lots of chill out time in the hot tub in between!

Very spacious, comfortable and warm cottage in a lovely rural position backing onto a golf course providing great food in a dog friendly location. Plenty of storage and open field at the back for a quick walk around. Plenty of crockery and cutlery with lots of storage for clothes. Great seating area at the front of the cottage catching the morning Read moresun. Outdoor seating furniture provided for the back garden, open and shared with other properties. Quirky decor which we loved. Thankyou. Hide

We had a lovely week in this cosy, relaxing, quiet location in beautifully furnished and clean, spacious accommodation with largest smart TV we have ever used.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is a very quiet location, well placed for the golf course which provide lovely food and reasonably priced. The only downside was that the field was not secure so we were unable to let our dog off the lead. The barn was well equipped, really appreciated dishwasher tablets being provided, as well as hot tub towRead moreels and outdoor furniture cushions. As previously mentioned by another holiday maker, one set of jets and lights in the hot tub are not working. Hide

A roomy cottage in a pleasant location. Dark interior and poor lighting made it feel very dim. Generally in need of a refresh and make over. It could be so much nicer.
