Great place to getaway!

A lovely quiet setting with plenty of space for the all of the family. We were well looked after and only wish we’d had more time to explore the farm and local trails.

Great break away with the kids. Cosy, welcoming home away from home. Kids loved seeing and feeding the animals. We were even lucky enough to see some newborn piglets!

Quiet rural location

Comfortable, accessible property ideally located for day trips to local attractions. Fred and Madeleine were very helpful and provided lots of information about the local area. We sampled and enjoyed the home farm produce supplied for us on arrival. We wouldn’t hesitate in visiting again.

Holiday with our Mums

We stayed in The Games Barn last week and had a lovely stay. There were all the facilities we needed for a wheelchair user and older lady. It was lovely to see a very young calf in the field right next to our windows and there was no noise from the animals at all. Lots of books to read and puzzles to do and tv if needed. Great location for both the seaside and countryside. We would definitely stay again

Beautiful setting in a refuge for 16 weeks whilst our home was rebuilt

We found the hosts and neighbours very welcoming throughout. The setting is beautiful and we enjoyed being within a working small holding with the attendant farm stock features! The interior has excellent disabled facilities. Assistance is needed to move to access the external parts. The hosts were responsive to maintenance needs with plans to do more. Some sprucing up of the interior would be beneficial.

Not covid clean

Check in process was easy. Ramp is very steep with overgrown shrubs that made it very difficult getting the wheelchair up without help. The property was not clean and I went and bought cleaning products and spent over 2 hours cleaning it (to which I have before and after pics) I wouldn’t even use the cooker or pots and pans. We got the deposit back the night before we left. After having an operation I had wound bleeding the last night and we stripped the beds as we were asked. I then got a message asking for money for a new quilt (that was an old one) and possibly for a bed protector cover from part of my wound bleeding. I’m sorry but I’m not paying anything on top of what I have already paid along with cleaning the place. The bathrooms are good for disabled but the rest isn’t.

We are very disappointed with this review. This customer clearly expected everything to be brand new - her friend admitted that wherever she goes she brings her own cutlery, plates, mugs etc. so clearly does not like using anything provided by other people - that's fine but does not mean that our stuff is in any way dirty. It's not new I accept but it is clean. We provide a full range of cleaning products which we leave in the utility area so I have no idea what she felt needed to be cleaned or what she had to buy and she never said anything while she was here. We even asked if everything was OK and she never said a word. The duvet and all the bedding were absolutely covered in blood - no they weren't new but they weren't old either. A replacement duvet costs at leats £35 and a set of bedding a further £20 . The duvet and bedding all went straight in the bin. If they had not checked out the night before, (because she had an early hospital appointment and wanted to check out before 8am) I would have deducted £50 from her deposit which was why I asked her after she left if she would be willing to make a contribution; she never replied. Her friend , when I was checking them out, (the main customer was not available) said everythng was fine and it had been the perfect place to stay for them - this seems very inconsistent. The ramp was built to building regulations at the time and we always state that able bodied people need to be here as well as any wheelchair user as we appreciate it is steep. We apologise for the overgrown shrubs, but again she could have asked us to trim them back and we willingly would have done. We were not aware she was in a wheelchair until she got here!! All in all not a good experience for us or for her. This is only the second time in over 15 years that anyone has felt the need to write a bad review.

Peaceful and spacious. Very serene part of the country, as much or as little as you want to do. The Games Barn is a hidden gem, very friendly hosts, with a pet friendly venue, ideal location for a family to get away together for a while.

Great place for a quiet getaway.

The ac omodation is located on Avery quiet and quite isolated farm. The owners live on the farm and are very helpful and happy to let you watch feeding the animals etc (I think you can normally help but we did not due to Covid restrictions. The barn is surrounded by fields and the farm yard and so is a lovely quiet setting. Thd accommodation itself is clean and well equipped. There are plenty of activities within easy driving distance. All in all, a great place for a quiet family holiday.

We all had a thoroughly good time at Games Barn

I would like to thank Fred and Madeleine Farbrother very much indeed for creating such an amazing and unique space for guests to enjoy. We felt very much at home, from home. What is also immensely enjoyable is the immediacy of the working farm atmosphere so nearby at hand. Hard work, and we could see that. The meat is beyond excellent. We loved it. THANK YOU!!
