Wonderful!

Woodpecker Barn is spacious with three large double bedrooms and plenty of living space. Lovely area and outlook across the fields. The play area and games room for all aged children plus the indoor pool was enjoyed. Louise was helpful and everything ran very smoothly. Would highly recommend and would stay again if in the area.

Fantastic Woodpecker Barn

Woodpecker Barn was amazing perfect for our family with young children. Well equipped and beautifully decorated. private fenced garden was a plus. Good Location to get to places but you have to be ok with very narrow lanes as there are lots of them . Would definitely recommend

A great accommodation .

A wonderful accommodation in a small development of converted barns. The barn is pristine, beautifully decorated and furnished and has everything a family would need for a holiday. Stair gates , travel cots and a high chair are provided along with a range of indoor and out door toys and games. The garden is private and fenced so very safe for children. The on-site swimming pool, playground and games room are great for keeping everyone entertained. The views from the barn are amazing and our grandchild was delighted to see the sheep and cows in the adjacent fields. A delightful accommodation that we hope to visit again.

Lovely barn but pool issues were disappointing

Pros - the barn is comfy, well equipped, warm and was well set up for us staying with friends and children (toys, potty, toddler cutlery and plates, 2 high chairs set up as we'd requested). We also enjoyed the games room Cons - one big negative was that the pool had a mechanical fault during our stay, so it was very cold when we did go in, and then closed for the rest of our stay. We were disappointed as we'd especially looked for places with a pool for our January stay, to entertain the little ones when it rained (which it did, a lot!)

About the host

Hosted by Louise Baker

Woodpecker Barn is part of a complex of nine converted cottages that were built on a working farm in 2004. The current owners are siblings Louise Baker and James Mathews, who purchased Woodpecker Barn in October 2014, made aware of it's availability from a family friend.

Louise was sports mad as a child and has carried that through her adult years, albeit conceding that motherhood is twice as challenging as any netball or athletics competition. A keen angler, James would spend everyday by the waters edge if circumstances would allow and does so even when they don't.

Why they chose this property

Lovers of the outdoor life and restricted by the ever increasing concrete jungle that is the South East of England, they were looking for the perfect country getaway for their family and friends. No doubt you will enjoy your own 'Escape to the Country' as much as they do.

What makes this property unique

This property is on a complex which provides an indoor swimming pool, games room (pool table, table tennis, table football and other toys) and external children's play area.
