Greyhound Barn

We were able to host a pre-wedding gathering for 40 without feeling cramped, thanks to the indoor and outdoor communal spaces, including the games room. The eight bedrooms were a good size and each had an ensuite, and the well-equipped kitchen worked perfectly for us. Tom was friendly and helpful while giving us our space, even though he lives next door. A fantastic, comfortable and practical venue for a large group of friends or family. I'd happily recommend Greyhound Barn.

The location is nice, and there's plenty of room in the barn, but the showers really let it down. Every shower except the disabled one floods its bathroom straight away because the drains can't handle the water. That constant flooding leaves a smell. For the price, the furniture is very basic, and the kitchen is tiny and poorly equipped for a group this size. Bring everything you need, as there isn't even a bar of soap or surface spray.

The location is great and the outdoor area is lovely, but the place needs serious updating. Drain problems leave the whole house smelling of urine, and the poorly designed wet rooms send shower water across the bathroom and onto the bedroom floor, soaking the laminate or carpet and adding to the smell. The mattresses and bed frames are awful, and many of our group struggled to sleep. There's just one key, and the key safe is broken, so it's hard for a big party to head out in separate groups. I hope the owners make the needed updates because this place could be really nice.

Options Supported Holiday Mistletoe and Mince Pies was great fun, with Jade and Sam doing a brilliant job. We had activities spread across the five days, including a Christmas market on day one, then panto, Christmas meals and feeding the reindeer on day two. It was an amazing place, with loads packed in.
