Somewhere in spring to feed your soul?
Two w/e left this early spring at The Tudor Barn – 28-30 March and 4-6 April. One guest’s feedback last spring hints at how gorgeous it is – “a fabulous few days. The barn and grounds are beautiful and peaceful with nothing but the sound of birds and wind in trees. There are plenty of spots to sit and chat with a squidge of comfy sofas round the fireplace. It was the perfect weekend spent in a beautiful location with gorgeous friends. I loved it and it will feed my soul for a long while yet.”
