Can't remember how many times we have stayed here - quite a lot & love it every time.  It is so nice to have a lovely place with lovely people - a bolt hole from the stresses of London. Thank you Sandra & Richard.

Ann and Jon - (London) - October 2011

Fabulous food, beautiful room, amazing service and lovely people!  I'm sure we'll be back and thank you for the recipes!

Dianne & Kuldeep - (London) - September 2011

A wondrously brilliant restful weekend.  Food Incredible - I feel thoroughly spoilt.  Thank you so much.

Julie - (Chichester) - September 2011

We came here for an anniversary weekend and could not have chosen a better place.  We have been treated like royalty.  It has been wonderful to have such delicious vegan meals cooked for us every night.  I'm sure we'll be back - beware!

Jan & Les - (Herefordshire) - August 2011

We have had a wonderful stay here at The Barn.  Thankyou Richard and Sandra for welcoming us into your hole and providing us with all the delicious food each evening!  The New Forest has proved to be a beautiful place to visit and hopefully we will return soon.

Lynne & Jeff - (Newcastle-upon-Tyne) - June 2011

I was so pleased to find a vegan B&B but the experience has far outweighed our expectations.  The warm and friendly welcome made The Barn feel like a home away from home!

The breakfasts and dinner were lovely, while the comfortable bed was a nice treat after three nights camping. We have had such a nice holiday, can't wait to come back and hopefully stay longer - and get to know the dogs better! Thanks so much..

Hayley & Jamie - (Northampton) - June 2011

Glad we found this brilliant place!  Everything was perfect especially the food!!  We will definitely be coming back.

Sharon & Gary Walters - (West London) - April 2011

They say that "there's no place like home", but The Barn comes damned close, with great hosts and great cuisine.  Too bad our stay here has been such a very brief one.  We'll be back one day, that's for sure and in the meantime will very happily give Richard and Sandra our vote in any vegan guest-house contest that we're allowed to enter.

Colin and Lis Howlett - (Reading) - September 2010

Thank you! At last, people who know what vegan hospitality is all about.  Richard and Sandra are excellent hosts and Freya (tabby cat) helped too!  We really loved the food, never has so much been eaten and all wholesome and inventive.  We especially liked the chocolate cheesecake and the red onion tart but it was all very good.  Comfortable rooms, lovely area, great food - guess what?  We will be back!  Looking forward to it already.

Marian and Richard Chubb - (Kent) - August 2010

Delicious food, especially the breakfasts.  Thanks for your warm hospitality.  Appreciated being able to enjoy ourselves in comfort while still treading lightly on our precious planet.

Alison & Nicole David - (London) - August 2010

Thank you for your hospitality, delicious breakfasts and for sharing some of your recipes and cooking ideas....especially the Okara Croquettes.  We had a wonderful time exploring the very interesting aspects of the New Forest and Jurassic Coast.  Thanks for everything.

Thanks for your help, smiles, lovely food, relaxing music in the morning..... What a wonderful place!  Will have to come back for sure....Take care...

We really enjoyed our stay.  It's a real treat to find a guesthouse where we can eat everything (literally!).  The food was delicious and inventive and the breakfasts really set us up for the day.  We really admire your ethical and environmental approach to how you run things.  Thank you for having us and making us feel so welcome.
