  • Fletcher Family

    "Our 2nd visit to Barn Owl Cottage and another lovely peaceful holiday. Nice to meet the new owners and some nice updates to the house. Lots and lots of wonderful fishing had by all, some lovely new fish and some big fish too! Loved watching the Barn Owl again. Can't wait to come back Thanks!"

  • Haines Family

    "We have had a brilliant time and caught lots of fish. The biggest fish we caught was a 13lb carp that we struggled to catch because it ran so strong. We've been to the town and the village which was really fun. We've seen the barn owl, it was really pretty. We have had the best time we could have. Thanks very much!!!"
