A fantastic location with welcoming and gracious hosts. The house is spacious and comfortable, with multiple areas for our large family to gather; the outdoor patio was our go-to spot for morning coffee and evening drinks. We couldn't have asked for a more comfortable place for our family holiday. Highly recommend!

Super place for Christmas get together

Communication before arrival was excellent and the place was found easily with their directions. The barn comprises 6 bedrooms all opening off the large central space. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and we all had space to relax and socialise. It was a great stay.

A great long weekend

A fabulous place to stay. Location is very peaceful and relaxing. The barn has everything you could want to make your stay perfect. Lots of outside space to enjoy the sunshine ( which luckily we had plenty). Booking and communication with Andrew was excellent. I am sure we will return. Thank you Anstey Grove Barn.

Stunning barn and location

This was absolutely perfect for our friends annual get together! 11 of us descended on the Anstey Grove Barn for a weekend escape. The location was perfectly placed in the countryside with a short scenic walk (as recommended by our host) to the local pub; ‘The Blind Fiddler’ for Saturday lunch. A well equipped kitchen and utility was perfect for our cooking needs, with a large dining table seating all of us. Plenty of board games on hand and ample seating in the many sofas. Bedrooms were spacious and comfy and all with en-suites. The master bedroom with its four poster bed is highly recommended and a treat for one lucky couple; and that would be me as the organiser. We all had an amazing weekend only added to by the venue and a friendly and thoughtful host. Thank you.

A lovely space for bigger groups and families

The property was great - we all found the space was ideal for having a group gathering all to ourselves away from the city. The kitchen and common areas are spacious and ideal for large dinners and socializing. Each bedroom was en-suite, which is a very desirable feature for privacy. The host was accommodating and communicative. Overall we had a very good experience and would definitely return.

Perfect space for family get-together

We were three families staying with kids, and the barn was a good size for all of us to relax, both together and apart in individual rooms. The children loved the garden, the kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The weather was even kind enough to enable us to go for a walk in the local woods. Would recommend for anyone wanting time away in the peace and quiet with friends or family!

Excellent Property for Christmas Celebrations

Really enjoyed our stay here, great venue with plenty for space. Fully equipped kitchen to create our christmas dinner with all the trimmings. Great that all rooms had en suite so no fighting for the bathroom and for a large property there were no issues with being cold....was all very cosy. Overall rating is really 4.5 stars, literally the only thing which stopped a full 5/5 was the absence of TV/entertainment system in the living area. A fully equipped TV and speakers where we could all enjoy a film together, connect phone to or listen to music, play games through TV etc would have made this venue absolutely perfect. Needless to say the board games and jigsaw helped keep us entertained. A fantastic venue and host would definitely recommend.

Hi Darren, Many thanks for your excellent review, I totally understand your comments re TV in living area, but we intentionally do not have one there as most guests comment on how well it works for friends and families to socialise without the obligatory TV on in the background...there is a full music system though..!! But as last year, when it gets close to the finals of Strictly, no-one wants to miss it and occasionally no TV has its down side..!! (all bedrooms do have TVs) Have a great Christmas, Andrew

Weekend Break with my Girls !!!

Anstey Grove Barn is a beautiful Barn in the middle of the countryside of Hertfordshire... The only thing I would say is to travel up early in the winter as the lanes to the Barn are narrow ... This weekend was our girl bonding weekend so the facilities suited our needs ... I would recommend the Barn to groups as it is spacious and clean and It states ‘what it’s says on the Tin’.. There are a number of walks nearby... which some of the group Adventure out on ... The villagers are friendly and were helpful ... about the places of interest and other things relating to Barn... A lovely 😊 Barn Thank you Mr Marchant...

Absolutely Fabulous

What a gorgeous barn!! My family and I had a wonderful time in Buntingford. Coming all the way from Melbourne, we absolutely loved the beautiful English countryside. With all the amenities you could need, and ensuites in every bedroom it made sharing a house with 10 people a dream :) The garden was perfect for a big bbq we had with some friends, the kitchen was well stocked with all cooking equiptment required. It was perfect - Thanks Andrew :)

Beautiful Barn, great for groups

12 of us stayed in the Barn for a uni friends meet up. Coming from London, Bedford and Cambridge the Barn feels far more rural than the 30 minute travel time would suggest! Set in rolling countryside, The Barn is really well set up . 6 bedrooms, all with en-suite and a downstairs toilet means there's no scramble for the showers in the morning. The communal area is large, and it's great to be able to share space while not necessarily all doing the same thing (e.g reading on the sofas while using the table to play games). The kitchen is well equipped too, and plenty of surface space meant we could prepare meals for all of us with ease. And the weather held for a BBQ in the garden too. Thanks for a great weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Marchant

Host profile image
Andrew and Alice have been at Anstey Grove Barn for over 40 years, raising a family and running a farm in the heart of rural Hertfordshire. In 1980 they bought a working pig farm with 20 acres of land and began to build a family home. Within months the house was built, and within years a broadleaf wood was planted and wildflower meadow cultivated that have now come to be protected by the Hertfordshire Wildlife Trust. The working pig farm has now gone, but the wood, meadows, flock of free range hens and horses remain. In 2004 Alice and Andrew decided to convert the large Barn at the heart of the farm and create high quality bed and breakfast accommodation. Their intention has always been to provide a homely base from which families, couples and those just passing through can enjoy
