Thank you to Johnathan for an amazing stay at the Wilderness barns. It’s such a home away from home with everything you need for a week away. It is very rural and peaceful which suited us perfectly. A lovely relaxing retreat. The dogs loved it too with a lovely secure garden for them and us to enjoy. Johnathan was very helpful when we had a few initial issues which were rapidly resolved.Would love to stay again.

We had a very relaxing 3 night stay at Driftwood Cottage. Didn't manage to get out on the paddleboards as tides and weather conspired against us but read books and went on some lush walks
