Northleigh Barn

We enjoyed our stay at Northleigh Barn, it is a very comfortable holiday home, extremely peaceful and tucked away in the back lanes, in a quiet location with public footpaths very close by. The super king bed is beyond comfortable and the bath and shower rooms, excellent. The decor is much like a small country house, lots of smart portraits, classic prints and lovely choice of fabrics and paint colours. Sofas and chairs all very comfortable and lovely rugs throughout. The garden space is great, just right for dogs to have room to run around a bit and a lovely patio area for drinks/nibbles/alfresco dining, listening to the bird song. The dishwasher was a lovely surprise (not mentioned on the description). Beautiful crockery and glasses and good basic equipment for cooking meals, another larger roasting tray would be useful and perhaps a second chopping board. But arrive with some basics such as milk, bread and butter etc. the nearest shop shuts early. We can highly recommend The London Inn, in Morchard Bishop, excellent food at reasonable prices, but beware, the portions are very large! It gets busy too, so book ahead if you can. The shop in the same village is also very well stocked and handy for any essential items. We also visited the Farm Shop on the edge of Nomansland, West Middlewick Farm, their own excellent meat (mostly frozen though, so plan ahead), milk straight from the cow, plus cakes, bread, veg and lots of other goodies. The breakfast in the onsite Hay Loft Cafe also highly recommended....
