Horizon Barn

It was beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean and a stunning location

A relaxed 3 night stay with all the necessities plus a bath with a view. The upstairs bed/bathroom became our go-to relax area simply because of the stunning vista, a small cosy sofa and big windows provided the ideal chill area.

The 'garden' area wasn't secure so we were on constant vigil with regards to our two dogs being distracted by fun things like rabbits, jackdaws, butterflies and waving grass and bounding off. But, seriously, such a trifling thing.

Loved the location, overlooking fields at the back of a reclamation yard. Laid in bed watching the sunrise! Stunning. Then sitting in the bath looking at the stars! Louise was fab, always at the end of the phone for any questions. A lot of thought has gone into the set up and decor.

Wasn’t a problem for us but some people wouldn’t like that there’s no curtains.

The property itself was incredible, so beautiful, the photos don’t do it justice. Only very small, but we knew this and it had everything we needed for our short stay. Communication from host prior to our stay was brill. Recommend the nearby Tealby, beautiful little village with lovely walks. Very dog friendly place all around. First two pics show how lovely it is! Would recommend to those without dogs/those who don’t mind another dog and it’s owner constantly in your area while ever this gent is living next door.

Unfortunately despite loving the actual property and it being in a lovely location, we won’t be returning. We booked it as said “private garden” which should’ve been great for our 2 dogs, but unfortunately the man living in the next door barn’s dog ran back and forth onto our patch constantly (ball even thrown for her straight across our garden many times). Every time this happened, and the dog ran up to our windows our dogs understandably became distressed & barked wanting to get out to the dog - this made me worry about disturbing those attached to our property despite it not really being our fault. Couldn’t have the bifold doors open on a hot stay due to this (other than Saturday afternoon/evening when they luckily went out for a while and we got to actually enjoy the stay properly for a few hours!) but all in all it ruined our stay being pent up in a small property without being able to have the doors open or enjoy the beautiful outdoor space. Pics attached of some of the many times the dog or the owner walked across our area - the man walked across whilst my husband was just stepping naked into the bathtub upstairs with the fully open windows! On our arrival the man let his dog run into the house as soon as we opened it which took our 2 dogs by surprise with not much effort to get his dog back out, this should’ve warned us for the rest of the stay…. A real shame and made for an expensive stay to sit cooped up inside not enjoying the best part - the beautiful outdoors area! *if you can see any of my other reviews I’ve never left anything negative as we aren’t moaners, just feel this may help others debating booking if needing a private garden for their dogs*
