In the depths of the countryside so excellent walking and friendly on site owners with their even friendlier dogs. Set in woods and with a beautiful garden. Huge living space on both ground and mezzanine floors. Perfect” Pickering family, London

“We’ve just enjoyed a wonderful stay at Rhodd’s barn which is unlike any other holiday home we’ve previously visited. The living space is vast, warmed by a wonderful wood burner. Every day a cartful of logs appeared outside the front door as if left by some woodland sprite. Of course, the actual person behind the regular supply of fuel is Richard, who is a thoughtful and generous host. The grounds are a delight, even in January, and we enjoyed a circular stroll accompanied by Richard’s three beautifully behaved and friendly dogs, who were the highlight of the visit for our 13 year old son” Beth & family, Cardiff
