Additional information:

Oaks Barn Farm's green credentials are well established, and the owners continue to look for ways to be carbon neutral, whilst offering a high standard of comfort. The cottage is heated using Biomass fuel from renewable resources. Water-efficient showers and cisterns reduce wastage, much of the energy comes from solar panels, and food waste is composted and used on the owner's vegetable garden.
The owners are able to do a service wash and dry for a nominal charge should you need items laundered whilst away. All utilities, linen and towels are included. The Coach House is a non-smoking property. Dogs are accepted but as this is a small working farm, there are strict rules which must be agreed to before booking (an additional charge of £50 per property).

Add A saltwater hot tub to your Stay
The hot spa is available for your own personal use at an additional cost of £175 per stay payable locally. We empty the saltwater hot tub and refill it for each party coming in. The price includes 1200 litres of water, refill of salt and enough Kw of electricity to heat it. Providing you replace the cover and turn off the jets when it is not in use you will not run out of your allocated amount of electric units. Because we have other guests on the farm by replacing the cover after use it keeps everyone safe. Children must be accompanied. We have chosen a chemical-free saltwater hot tub which is in line with our green policy. It is a fantastic place to sit at night watching the stars. Please see rules of use for the hot tub below.
Our Salt Water Hot Tub provides a clean and natural tub experience using Salt as the water purification agent without the need for harmful chemicals. The hot tub is checked for levels and cleaned by us during your stay.
DO NOT STAND, SIT or LIE on the Saltwater hot tub lid, this will cause damage.

DO Replace the lid and thermal cover after use, by using the straps and pulling the skirt down around the edge and fixing with the clips on the 4 locking straps. This is what keeps the water hot when not in use. You have sufficient kilowatts of electric to allow for the use during your stay provided the cover is replaced after use.

Summary: Warm welcome. Very central to visit lots of places

Summary: Sue and Wayne are wonderful hosts who were very welcoming yet non-intrusive. We booked the property for a couple of nights to enable us to visit parents after lockdown restrictions lifted on 12th April. This was a perfect retreat for the two of us and our two sons aged 17 and 19 years old. The property and surrounding grounds are every bit as relaxing as described and the property itself was ideal for our family, including Murphy the dog. We managed to have a wonderful at the nearby Arrow Mill Pub who had set-up a very large marquee on their grounds and offered excellent table service. A property, facilities and hospitality that we thoroughly enjoyed and will be booking again. We very much recommend it,

Summary: Place was perfect for families planning to get away for a quiet weekend. Sue and Wayne were very welcoming and went the extra mile by inviting us to introduce new hens to the farm and bought a cake round when they saw we were celebrating a birthday. However the house was not well advertised that there were 3 other properties on the grounds. On the first night we were there we received a phone call, a text message and an email in the space of 5 minutes telling us to be quiet at 23:15. The second night Wayne came into garden at 20:30 telling us we were being excessively loud on a Saturday night and it’s not what the place is about. Although we could appreciate people were around us, we were not being disrespectful or rude we were playing games and laughing and both nights we were in bed before midnight, we felt it kind of put a downer on the weekend away given that the advertisement didn’t specify they didn’t want groups of friends, and we had explained we were a group of nurses who had all worked throughout the lockdown and needed to unwind prior to coming. When leaving the property we were also asked if we had broken anything in the property which we didn’t appreciate. Would not recommend this property for a weekend away with friends.
