Guest comments
" We had a lovely short break,enjoyed the farm animals very much, delicious eggs, a beautiful peaceful location"- Mr Joyce.
We would like to thank you for such a lovely holiday at Swan Street Barn June 6 to 18 June. We feel so rested and relaxed after our stay everything was to such a high standard and beautiful surroundings. My husband had a doctors appointment on our return and for the first time in 3 years his blood pressure was spot on.(Our doctor asked for the web site). I am going on the web site to book for November to set us up for Christmas. Thank you once again, highly recommended. Ralph and Sylvia Aberdeen.
What a brilliant relaxing weekend in a beautiful setting, hoping to return very soon. Global Honeys:buddies (US, UK China)!
