Guest reviews:
- Our stay at the Barn was wonderful. It's well equipped, clean with all the necessary amenities. The gardens and outdoor areas are fantastic for relaxing. It's a kids paradise! David and Maurice are excellent communicators and have been very attentive. We look forward to staying here again!
- An outstanding property that well surpassed our expectations. Very comfortably and cost, the kids loved the beautiful garden, the slab heating was absolutely amazing! We will be back!! Thanks to the lonely property owners. So kind and accommodating
- Great getaway, backyard is beautiful and trampoline was a big hit! Thanks for the wine and cheese ??
- The cottage was the perfect weekend get away. Very quiet and cosy for the winter. We were welcomed with cheese and wine and enjoyed the ping pong table. Will be definitely going back again!
- The Barn is a great place to stay, very spacious with lovely decor Great hosts, great for a family
- We stayed at 11 Wagstaff Street, Rye. The house is a beautiful conversion of an old barn. It was modern, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It sits on a huge block of land within walking distance of the front and back beaches. Overall, the house itself was gorgeous and better than we'd anticipated. We were very well looked after. We would definitely go back.
- Great space for a family stay near the back beach and a short drive Blairgowrie or Rye for shopping. Wonderful big green garden to enjoy and a trampoline for the kids. We were very comfortable.
