    “We stayed for a weekend at Wheelbarrow Castle, 14 of us (from ages 3 to 73).”

    The owners were very friendly and helpful, and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. It’s equipped with everything you need: high chairs, baby cots, z-beds, tonnes of cutlery, crockery, pots and pans. Beds were comfy and there is so much space! Considering the size of the property it stayed lovely and warm. We had such a lovely time there, it’s a little dated but it’s got a lot of charm.
