Reviews
"Absolutely loved this tranquil place off the beaten track but yet so close to all the city has to offer! All you need with plenty of opportunity to enjoy the surrounds with a lovely sheltered outdoor area too! Prefect for a family retreat or a group of friends. And a delicious breakfast too! Would definitely recommend & hope to be back!"
"We had a wonderful stay at the Red Barns! Very cosy, warm accommodation with a gorgeous fire place and comfortable couches. Perfect for a group of friends or family. Ideal location just down the road from a popular wedding venue."
"I stayed at Red barns the evening prior to my wedding with four other girls. From the very first contact Sally was extremely helpful, accommodating and replied quickly to my emails. Murray greeted us on arrival and we felt right at home , the barn exceeded our expectations and is beautiful inside. Very warm, cosy and comfortable. The homemade breakfast items were delicious and there was plenty to go around. I would recommend the red barns to any bride getting married in the area it made our morning so stress free and anyone who is looking for a relaxing escape. Thank you both for a great stay"
"I can't thank The Red Barns enough for catering for our whole wedding party for the weekend. We had the most relaxing and beautiful experience as they hosted all 6 of my bridemaids and myself the night before the wedding as well as the morning of. There was plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable with the addition of 3 hair dressers and a makeup artist. The whole experience was incredible. We look forward to staying here again!"
"Sally & Murray are amazing and so accomodating! I must say The Red Barns are even better in person!! I initially booked it for one night for my bridal party to get ready in the morning.. everyone absolutely loved Red Barns, so we requested (last minute) to extend the stay for another night and they happily said yes. Oh and we can't forget Sally's homemade bread - that is also amazing! We demolished it not long after it was delivered! Thank you so much Sally & Murray!!"
