All the barn conversions have high vaulted ceilings and plentiful beams with spacious open-plan living areas.

Outside, there is a decked area for each property, a shared enclosed courtyard with raised planting beds where vegetables, herbs and fruit grow, and a fire pit, an outdoor pizza oven and barbeque.

For those that like the outdoor lifestyle there is on-site archery, axe throwing and fishing in the River Avon (licence required). Nearby there is horse riding, and the New Forest Water Park. For those bringing dogs, there are plenty of excellent walks all around.

Avon Heath Country Park, within easy driving distance, is ideal for keen ramblers. Fordingbridge and Ringwood both have a host of shops, cafés and eateries, and are nearby.

10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2019
The Barn was excellent. However there are a couple of issues, as follows.
1) There needs to be a clear explanation of the distance in miles and time to drive/walk to local amenities. Upon booking I specifically asked if the location was within 10 minutes walk of a local pub. Reservations agent phoned the owner for confirmation of this. After booking I looked on Google maps and discovered that the walking time to the pub 40mins!!!
2) I have marked down the score on equipment on the following basis. The property description states Sky TV. However, there is no access to most Sky Channels ) Sport, Movies or catch up TV options, which are Pin protected. This should be explained clearly as it is misleading.
The other equipment in the kitchen was superb and the bathroom/shower was excellent.
