Oak Barn at Wooden Cabbage

What a wonderful place to get away from it all for a few days. Comfortable, spacious and very well looked after, the Oak Barn provides a great base, in beautiful countryside and with excellent hosts. Thoroughly recommended.

Really lovely quiet retreat. The tie-beamed ceiling and furnishings of this long studio were charming and cosy. A Christmas tree with lights made the evenings rather magical. Wifi was easily adequate for the two Zoom meetings I had to attend during our stay. The antique marquetry bed was enormous and comfortable. Our stay was during the pandemic, so we didn’t eat out. We brought food from COOK and the kind owners allowed us to store it in their freezer. They also dried our clothes when we got soaked to the skin. The sculpture park is worth a visit and there are plenty of other walks.

A delightful "find" a true rural idyll literally far from the madding crowd yet well located for countryside and coast. England at her best; sleepy villages and country pubs rolling hills and wooded valleys defended by proud cliffs striding on forever. The very name Wooden Cabbage promised a special experience and so it was. The Oak Barn, traditional in concept yet contemporary in execution, spacious but intimate where the imagination runs free, rustic but practical and comfortable.

We loved staying here with our dog, Freddie. Martyn and Susie were delightful hosts, and very helpful with suggesting lovely pubs to dine at, and walks to take. We so enjoyed the peaceful evenings, sipping wine, looking out over their garden burgeoning with vegetables, scented roses, and watching the most amazing skies as the sun set. The oak barn itself was gorgeous, especially the very accommodating large bed!! What a wonderful piece of furniture. As well as dining out, we also cooked some sumptuous feasts in the barn. Our 5 days' break was a truly relaxing escape. We hope to come back!

A really pleasurable stay with lovely views and great countryside. The barn is beautiful, and set in gardens fragrant with David Austin roses. A real delight! Martyn and Susie were accommodating and thoughtful hosts without being intrusive. Throughly recommended.
