John's Barn

Delightful place, deep in the woodlands, where we spent a week over Christmas. The house itself is lovely, bright and well appointed. One of the highlights was seeing three deer and a white hart, as we ate breakfast. Bobbie’s instructions to get to the house are accurate, but read them carefully, if you’re arriving in the dark. We imagine that the house would be ideal in summer for a young family.

What's unique about the Middletons and their home is that you know you are getting away from it all and they want you to enjoy that. It's such a special place because although you could spend your whole stay not seeing another soul it's still only a 10-minute car ride to find all that you need if the family gets bored or you decide to explore beyond the haven that is Johns Barn.

We loved the architecture of the barn and the layout. It has everything you need. John and Bobbie were lovely always to help and provide information on the local area. The surrounding land was magical and feeding the fish was also a great activity - great to see large wild fish so close up. Incredibly clean and full of nice design touches. Fantastic great also- it was even better than the pictures. It is a hidden gem. A peaceful place to replenish oneself. Highly recommend

John Barn is the most amazing place to stay. Clean beyond doubt! Beautiful, peaceful, idyllic. A must for everyone.. the owners are amazing people and very kind. Set in 50 acres of woodland it’s a dream. The New Forest is amazing as are the people. It’s extremely dog friendly and there’s just so much to see and do. We will definitely be returning to Johns Barn. It’s somewhere for most that only dreams are made of. If you love the country and the peace and nature this is where it is with the deer and wildlife on your doorstep!

Welcoming hosts who made every effort to ensure that the stay was a positive experience. Modern property equipped to a high spec. and with lots of little touches such as food to feed the fish, a private play area and toys for the kids and a welcome pack of food and drink for the grown ups.
