Used Swiers Farm & Emily Barn for a group of 18 adults as a base for a walking weekend/get together. All of the group were full of praise for the facilities provided. We found the properties scrupulously clean, furnished to an exceptional standard and plenty of crockery etc, the welcome pack of tea/coffee/milk/biscuits much appreciated after a long journey. Although the rooms are not on-suite, there are plenty of bathrooms and no queuing even to soak aching limbs after a long walk on Saturday!
