Thank you Anne for making us so welcome. We have had a wonderful week in your delightful cottage, which is a real home from home, you have thought of everything the cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival, with lots of little extras. The homemade cake was delicious and so unexpected.
Little Barnfield is central to so many places, we spent some lovely days out at Sudeley Castle, Blenheim Palace and Tewkesbury just to name a few.
We were also blessed with wonderful weather all week.
We will certainly return in the future and will recommend Little Barnfield to our friends.
Many thanks and best wishes. Ruth and Ken
