We enjoyed our stay at Kestrel Barn. Just a few words on the wifi. Having read other reviews we were worried about it. However, the only issue we had was that on a few of the mornings some of us weren't able to get on it. We found that by turning the wifi off and on (the Kestrel Barn booster, not the hub), when it fired up it worked fine. Indeed thRead moree signal was excellent and one of our party was able to work the whole week with zoom/team calls and we were able to watch live streams/movies. Hide

A wonderful and extremely comfortable place to stay, the accommodation suited us perfectly, great for large groups. Beautiful views and walks nearby. The local pub was excellent for dining.

Wonderful property for family gatherings, plenty of space (we were a party of 10 including children and a dog and never felt cramped).
