    Selected Customer Comments about Shire Barn at Doddington

    "Wonderful barn overall but 2 of the double bedrooms are very small. Kitchen very well equipped but could have done with less freezer but more fridge space when catering for 10. Aug 2011."

    "Our party comprised seven adults and two children who were nearly two. The owner of the property welcomed us on arrival and assisted with explaining the home movie/hi-fi/x-box system. Plenty of space for all of us and a superb garden and huge Wendy House."
