What a delight The Decoy Barn Guest House is.
We stayed over night, and it was lovely, with a beautiful garden.
The room was clean and comfortable with a patio area outside where you had your own seating to admire the amazing garden.
The hosts were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you, we will be back

Loved the tranquility of the place. The garden is so beautifully maintained with an array of gorgeous, colourful flowers. The sound and look of the fountain is also so relaxing.
The owners are very welcoming and lovely….and I very much miss Buddy the dog who was just a delight to have around!
The beds were very comfortable and as I suffer from a bad back, this is very important to me.
If I was ever to find myself in that area again I would stay here without hesitation.
