About Us and Top Tips when you stay at The Victorian Barn

Tuesday, 25 June 2019

Our names are Penny & Claire and we are a mother and daughter team owning and managing The Victorian Barn.

We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service and fabulous accommodation for our guests.

The Victorian Barn has a very special place in our hearts as we have we have been farming here since the late 1960's. After dairy farming for many years and with several years showing our prize winning "Shalama Herd" of Holstein Friesians we converted the buildings to holiday accommodation.

We still run a small beef farm a short distance from the barn so guests can see cattle in the fields while enjoying the fresh clean air of open countryside.
