“Pop’s Barn is a really lovely holiday home in the beautiful village of Downton.”

The garden truly is a sun trap! The Moot nearby was perfect for our early morning dog walk, the Co-op is very convenient and well stocked, and The Wooden Spoon provided us with excellent company, good ale and delicious meals. One added bonus is the fresh organic local milk dispenser in the car park at The Bull. Creamy, fresh and in glass bottles!

“This compact cottage/barn is ideal for two and is set in the lovely village of Downton.”

The cottage had everything we needed for our walking week. The village has two nice pubs (Wooden Spoon & The Goat), a Co-op, butcher and a brewery. What appealed to us was the brewery sets up tables and chairs on a Friday at 4pm and you can enjoy the beer they brew along with wine and other drinks. We walked right from the door on several occasions. The garden is secluded and lovely to sit in on warm days which luckily we had. We loved it.

We are pleased to hear you had a lovely week and were able to enjoy walks right from the stop step of Pop's Barn! Owner relations

“It was not made clear how far the cottage was from where you had to park the car.”

For two 80+ year olds it was a long way to carry heavy suit cases. we have mentioned this to the owner and suggested that the info given makes this clear.. Otherwise fine.

The property

Pop's Barn (named after the owner's grandfather) is a secret little hideaway behind the High Street in the bustling village of Downton.

Walking down a narrow path leading off a side lane, you stumble upon this pretty brick building set in its own private walled garden.

Despite its seclusion, the cottage is perfectly located for the numerous attractions this popular area has to offer.

Pop's Barn has been well designed to maximise its small interior spaces making a cosy retreat for two people.

Guests can enjoy a peaceful evening drink or al fresco meal in its pretty and sunny garden.
