A peaceful and quiet place.

A fantastically well equipped cottage in a beautiful setting. We had a perfect Christmas break, bringing our mother over to join us for the day with a full Christmas dinner. Everything we needed to prepare and serve up the food we brought for the meal was provided and even the weather was on our side. Some lovely walks from the door with our dogs. Thank you.

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.
