South Barn - a Hidden Gem
"A good time was had by all. Excellent facilities and beautiful countryside for walking. We had a wonderful Christmas Day starting with bucks fizz and games on Beesands beach. The weather was a bonus. Thank-you."

Thank-you so much for the spacious and contained environment which allowed us to explore and experience rain, storms, sunshine and peace."

August 2009

All enjoyed our stay at South Barn and exploring the local area. Even the rain didn't dampen our spirits! We will be sad not to witness the five baby swallows in the porch take their first flight but it has been a privilege to observe them so closely."

"We thought the barn was excellent - the best group holiday we have had - so well equipped and both the bedrooms and upstairs living space were so lovely, cosy and clean - the crisp white bed linen was much appreciated!  None of us wanted to leave."


October 2008

"It was a wonderful weekend in a wonderful setting and my parents were made to feel very special (golden wedding anniversary) which was the reason for the trip. Everybody loved the Barn."

September 2008

"We all enjoyed ourselves tremendously, the weather of course was the icing on the cake. The barn was certainly all that we were expecting and more and the boys both had a great time."

"We felt instantly at home upon arriving at the South Barn.  The living area is extremely spacious with an attractive wood burning stove which separates the living area into two usable spaces, and which was great on a couple of cold nights.  The kitchen has all the mod con's you'd expect to find, and leads to an open plan dining area that has more than ample seating for our family.  The rooms are tastefully furnished and our en suite bathroom was much appreciated.  The bed was extremely comfortable.  The real beauty of South Barn, however is the location - with plenty of opportunities to walk in rolling countryside, as well as being a pleasant walk or quick drive to the local beach.  The shops and facilities in the area are great for artisan food and produce, we made a tasty risotto one night from locally caught fish purchased from an amazing local fishmonger.   All in all a great place for idyllic family holidays or a quiet retreat from your hectic everyday life. "

"We had a wonderful time at South Barn – it offers the perfect combination of rural peace and comfort. The surroundings are idyllic - from the beautifully landscaped field at the back to the rolling hills all around, with only the sound of birds and sheep to interrupt the silence. The barn itself is spacious and tastefully decorated, with all the home comforts a family needs – from TV and board games, to a log-burning stove and a well-equipped kitchen. The spectacular views are an added bonus. It’s ideally situated to enjoy the local area – we went on cliff walks, beach picnics and visits to the pretty nearby villages, as well as a delicious meal in a cosy country pub. I can recommend South Barn wholeheartedly and intend to come back at the first opportunity."
