As soon as you arrive, the view of the beautiful rolling countryside and lake catches your eye. Double patio doors lead into the wonderfully bright, open-plan living/kitchen/dining room, where the original wooden beams blend effortlessly with the contemporary decor and stylish furnishings. The living room is a sociable area with two comfortable sofas for friends and pups and a TV, where you can watch your favourite movies. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, and meals can be shared in the dining area with a pretty view. From the living area, a staircase leads upstairs where you'll find two double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom and one twin bedroom. From all bedrooms you have beautiful view of the owner's land. A family bathroom with shower over the bath and WC completes the offering of this wonderful barn conversion. Patio doors lead out to the enclosed raised patio garden with panoramic views of the lake and countryside. Enjoy a drink at the coffee table on the patio, treat yourself to a soak in the hot tub, and if the weather is fine, a picnic bench is ready for al fresco dining

Location excellent. Parking facilities excellent. Main residence excellent. Television remote was broken so could not initially use TV, however this was quickly resolved by the owner. The hot water in the kitchen was VERY hot and could scald someone so thermostat should be turned down somewhat to an acceptable level for safety reasons. TV and maiRead moren door window had all residue over them and should/could have been cleaned prior to our arrival at 5pm. This by no means spoilt our trip away and we certainly wouldn't hesitate to return. Hide

We had a fantastic time at Otter Barn. Quirky decorating and cosy vibes. Lovely and dog friendly with an added bonus of treats for both dogs and humans which was a nice touch. The hot tub was great and highly recommend this place for a relaxing weekend.

The cottages are very clean, and well looked after. The owners leave you to have your own space, but are quick to respond if there is any issue. Lovely views from the windows and also from the hot tub. Beds are comfy, bedrooms cosy. Shopping facilities close by. Enjoyed our stay

We found that the accommodation was equipped with basically anything we might possibly need for our 2 week stay & the setting was more idyllic than the photos on the website showed. The goodies & milk on arrival were much appreciated & it was nice to know that the hosts were near by should we have any issues, but as everything was so perfect we didRead moren't need to contact them directly. We loved having the use of the hot tub & had a most enjoyable holiday & would highly recommend. Hide
