We just returned after a wonderfully relaxing couple of days at a Lane Barton cottage. Yes, they have beautiful cottages for rent. What an amazing experience! The cottage is extremely well equipped and the hosts, Derek and Angie, are the most gracious and welcoming people that I’ve met. We didn’t know what to visit in the area, so they pointed out all the highlights and we had one of the best vacations ever - great recommendations for restaurants and local sites. I will definitely return for a longer stay.

A group of 30 of us stayed adults and children, we had the best time! The barn is well equipped it has everything you need. The children loved the space and enjoyed every minute they kept themselves entertained. We played games, sang karaoke until early hours and got in the hot tub. Derek is very welcoming and will help with anything. As a big group we had a Asda delivery to the barn. The pods are lovely and warm. We had a excellent new year! This was our 2nd visit and will definitely book again.

I was one of a group of 12 adults with one 9 month old and stayed for 3 nights. Totally enjoyed the experience. The place had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well equipped, the pods were very comfortable. The space inside the shed was impressive, played a few games of badminton and table tennis in the evenings. We were free to make the place our own for the few days we were there. Derek was a font of knowledge and recommended a number of places to visit. Would strongly recommend this place.

Just got back from a cracking weekend at the Leisure Barn and can’t wait to return. Derek was really helpful all throughout the build up and was available on site whenever we needed him during our stay Our party included 6 families and it was ideal. There was plenty to keep the kids busy and off electronics for 48 hours which made it very easy for parents to relax Derek let me borrow his lawn mower to cut a football pitch into the top field. There’s a bbq and big table outside the barn which was a nice sun trap during the day and we lit a fire pit there during the evening, there’s loads of room inside for everything else The pods are a lot bigger than they look so comfortably fit a family of 4. A few of the electrical bits were a bit temperamental so worth bringing a Bluetooth speaker with you...Or it’s a great excuse to drag out a few old CD’s down from the loft Activities included table tennis, football, rugby, badminton, squash, head tennis, hot tub, frisbee, bowls, darts, pool, golf It’s really well equipped, perhaps a little rough around the edges in places? But this only adds to its charm. And to get all this for under £200 per family for the weekend is amazing value for money. I wholeheartedly recommend the place and will look to book again next year

Due to extreme heavy rainfall unfortunately we had a few puddles in the main barn, however Derek spent all day with a powerful water extractor getting it all dry in no time. The host Derek was extremely helpful but did not interfere with our stay he provided Halloween decorations for the children. The barn is fully equipped and the children were safe to play in a large space and the lounge was great as a games room and movie room. Will definitely visit again and recommend.

A party of 8 girls came away to celebrate my 40th birthday. Well I’m not sure where to start. We all had the best weekend ever. The barn was fantastic, so much space, lovely comfy cosy beds, everywhere was clean and having the en-suite was brilliant. We set up a bar and enjoyed the amazing sound system and partied the night away. We watched movies, cooked great meals in the full equipped kitchen and relaxed in the hot tub. We didn’t sleep much but when we did get to bed the silence of being in the countryside was lovely and so dark. The outside space is really good, with bbq and seating area and lovely views. Derek and his Wife were fab from start to finish. My sister had organised a surprise cake that Derek and his wife had helped with. We had a few hiccups getting DVD’s on but Derek was always on hand to help us. We will definitely be back in the future and highly recommend to groups, hens, stags or large families. Thank you!!!!!

2nd year stay for our family group of 14 & again a great venue for a large group- although a little chilly Derek the host kindly provided extra heaters for us. On a wet day the place comes into its own for children & adults to play &/or use hot tub - pods are great - providing personal privacy when needed. The Clean freshly laundered bedding is great & much appreciated!! A unique place & I would recommend.

This was a perfect venue for a stag or a large group holiday. The barn is huge with loads of room to play games and burn off some energy. We had 20 of us and there was more room than we needed. There is all the facilities you need from loads of games equipment, large kitchen, dining room and lounge that could all accommodate the 20 of us. There was so much room we didn’t leave the barn for the two nights out because we had everything we needed there. The rooms finish is basic but perfectly comfortable and the fact you have a separate toilet and shower per room proved very useful. Derek is really accommodating and the remote location is both beautiful and quiet so you don’t feel guilty making noise. Derek doesn’t mention much about the outside space, which he should as there is a great patio, lawn area and bbq with beautiful views over the fields. So basically I couldn’t recommend it enough for an active holiday or stag/hen event.

Really unique place it is exactly what it says on the tin a farm yard barn with great holiday facilities inside. In many ways it still feels very much the cow shed it originally was and the look when you first walk in is quite basic with wood chip walls, corigated metal panels, concrete slabs and big sliding barn door at the end. However once you get past that this is an awesome place. The pods inside are brilliantly done the pictures online don't do them justice, they are bigger than they look fit 4 fairly comfortably and feel like proper onsuite bedrooms with adjustable colour lighting that really adds to the feel of them. There are three bedrooms and a little lounge with a sofabed in upstairs as well, these are up a quite a steep set of stairs and again these look very basic with wood chip walls and are definitely not as nice as the pods, however the beds were really comfortable and they had wall heaters that kept them nice and warm, they are internal so have no windows but actually this meant that we all, especially the kids slept really well in them! There are 2 showers and toilets upstairs and the showers are powerful and there is plenty of hot water. Downstairs you have the kitchen which is really well equipped and has everything you will need including two large carreteias. There is also a large dinning area with lots of tables and seating for every one this is a little dark but a good size and has a to with free sat. The kitchen and the dinning room are both open on to the barn so do get cold in evening and morning. There is. Also a really good sized lounge area with comfy sofas for at least 18 people and great size coffee table, which was great for board games. It also has a to which acts as a second screen for the one in the dinning room which is nice but you do have to go back to the dinning room every time you want to change channel! We took our Xbox with us though so we hooked this up in the lounge for the kids which worked really well. The lounge has a wall heater and we put one on the portable blow heater in too so it stayed really toasty. There is also a utilit room with 2washing machines. The main draw though is the main barn which is huge and we had lots on fun in it, playing badminton, pool and ping pong,the kids and dogs loved charging around the space and we all loved using the hot tub, we also watched movies on the big screen in the evening although it does need to be dark to see the screen properly, the comfy beanbags and blankets are great for this. We also used the BBQ outside several times. Location is great really rural and peaceful but can drive to a big range of amenities, attractions and beaches with in about 30mins. Overall this place was perfect for what we wanted, a large space for family get together so that everyone could have a good time with out getting in each other way.

Derek very kindly donated a mid week 2 night stay for 10 people to a Charity auction. I was the lucky winner at £700 for a great cause, Derek also allowed us to change this to a weekend and add extra people. We had an amazing time, lots of fun and made many memories. The Barn is very well equipped with activity/games and the hot tub was fab. The kitchen has plenty of space and with 3 fridges we were able to fill one with alcohol! Thank you again Derek, we had a lovely weekend and we will be sure to return.
