Headland Barn Reviews

Victoria
A stunning home with all the space, comfort and equipment we needed for a wonderful week with our family and dog. Perfectly located with an easy walk into town with all the restaurants and bars and also a good variety and length of dog walks from the door. Highly recommend for a restful break in such a stunning home
7 of us spent a family weekend away in this beautiful house. It was extremely well equipped and very doggy friendly. Every room was beautifully presented and very clean. The kitchen had every utensil you could possibly need! The only issue we had was with the twin bedroom. My two adult children slept in it but the beds were on the small side and not very comfortable. It was also extremely hot in there the whole time. Overall, a fabulous break, and would stay again.
We had a fantastic stay at Headland Barn. Everything had been thought of and we didnt want for anything. Its beautifully furnished and with a wonderfully sunny aspect, even in winter. Our 4 legged friends were well provided for with beds, bowls, snacks and even poo bags! We spent New Years Eve there and had a lovely time. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend it and would love to stay again.
A wonderful property, beautifully laid out with Christmas decorations including a very large tree. Set in nice surroundings away from the main road, making it quiet and secluded. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would recommend it to anyone.
