"A wonderful place to stay in beautiful surroundings.

We loved the Barn, which is beautifully decorated with plenty of space and had everything we needed. We took our children and there was so much to do, we didn't have enough time to fit it all in. I would definitely recommend Alder Barn."

"Lovely stay with family for my wedding

I got married at South Farm and we used Alder barn as Bride HQ - It was great, comfy beds and they have thought of everything. Really clean and very nice place to stay. Enough room for family to be comfortable and spend time relaxing before the big day! I would come again with family or friends :)"

"The stay was excellent

The stay itself was excellent and the barn was perfect. Thank you once again, I'm sure our families will look to stay there again. Out of interest is it booked already at Christmas?

"Three girls on holiday together and we had a blast

Our host was flexible with our arrival time. The barn was cool in temperature during a particularly hot period. Loads of space and great toiletries, plenty of towels and high spec. bathrooms. Three girls on holiday together and we had a blast.

We particularly loved the Village and the space within the accommodation.

My family of 5 stayed here for a week. Part way through we were joined by three additional family members making 8 of us staying for a few nights. The house easily accommodated our group with 4 bedrooms upstairs (including a loft area that has a pull out double bed plus full bathroom). The house is in a small quadrangle of buildings which is a bit unusual but works out just fine. The local businesses that are nearby don't open until 10AM and all close by 6PM. Even when they are open there is no issue as noise is very low or not at all. The home is spacious with a big kitchen to gather in and an enormous living room with vaulted ceilings that is so comfortable! The town of Ashwell is quiet and set in the surrounding fields and countryside of England which allowed us to take wonderful walks out and then back into town. Superb bakery right around the corner for morning pastries and coffee which we visited every day (except Sunday when it is closed). 5 minutes drive gets you to the train station that has twice per hour trains to London and also Cambridge. Or you can drive the 30minutes to Cambridge which we did a few times. The booking, payment and deposit/refund were all handled easily and professionally. I'd highly recommend Alder Barn!! "

"Lovely village; perfect accommodation for large family

We travelled over from Ireland to bring my dad to the Duxford airshow. The Alder Barn was a perfect location: close to Duxford (I think it took ~25mins including airshow traffic); plenty of space; a great Indian takeaway; and fantastic local pub (The Three Tuns) for meeting extended family over a meal. And Ashwell is the prototypical English country village. Loved it! "

Lovely accommodation, good facilities, great to have Netflix - we could find something we all liked!

Bedrooms lovely and warm and high chair and travel cot just what we needed.

Lovely walks in the local area, would recommend the Arbury Banks walk, a visit to the Bushel and Strike pub for food, and getting a sandwich from the bakery and taking it/eating it in the Rhubarb & Mustard Cafe.

"A superb accommodation with all the amenities

A superb accommodation with all the amenities. Wonderful village and within a short commute to Bletchley Park and Duxford. Leaving here refreshed and relaxed.

Thank you to our hosts, Jonathon and Abi for their personal attention to detail and our comfort.

We booked here on behalf of our staff members who were working locally and needed a place to stay close to site. They were delighted with the standard of the accommodation, the owner Abi couldn't have been more helpful, and they thoroughly enjoyed their down time in the fantastic social space. Would thoroughly recommend this holiday let for a get away at any time of the year"

Just spent New Year at Alder Barn. To be honest I could not have asked for more. The property itself is fantastic, massive, and a great place to spent time with friends. Everything worked like a dream, plus has a nice big TV! Definitely recommended and I’ll be coming back."

"Nothing short of spectacular for our Family Christmas Break

As there is 9 of us in our family and none of our houses would have been big enough for Christmas we decided to go away and we hit the jackpot when we chose Alder Barn. More.

 “Nothing short of spectacular for our Family Christmas Break

As there is 9 of us in our family and none of our houses would have been big enough for Christmas we decided to go away and we hit the jackpot when we chose Alder Barn.

We all loved it and didn't want to leave. The only thing we didn't agree on was if we lived there who would get what room!! So many positives to list: Beautiful Kitchen, Lots of space in every room - Stunning brick work in the sitting room; Comfy beds; great taste in décor; great location; plenty of parking; lots of natural light; lots of radiators; traditional style wooden flooring and stairs; great use of space; 3 Toilets; 2 TV's one with Netflix's; lovely soft carpeting throughout upstairs; feels like a home from home; lots of pots, pans and dishes; great selection of DVD's, Books and Games for all the family; Lots of comfy sofa's; The Balcony bedroom was great for the teenagers.

Great location for a quiet country walk around the village or to the Spring.

We had such a wonderful Christmas Stay there and being able to collect the keys from the key safe when we arrived made it all the more stress free.

Jon & Abi answered any questions we had and thanks to them we had a lovely stress free Christmas.

We hope to be able to return sometime again this year - Highly recommended!!!! :-)

"The property is everything you could wish for

Whilst coming to the UK for a month from Australia to visit family we used Alder Barn as our base. The property is everything you could wish for, massive, full of character, and really well kitted out. Ashwell is a stunning village with some great pubs. We had a great time and look forward to coming back."

"Great house and the village is beautiful

We stayed at Alder Barn for a couple of weeks whilst on vacation from the US visiting family in Birmingham. Great house and the village is beautiful. Just wish you got places like this in the US. Now trying to work out how we can afford to come again next year!"

"Highly Recommended

We rented this property with a few friends for a week’s break. I cannot rave about Ashwell enough, some great pubs, and a really pretty village. The property itself was great, loads of space and lots of character, and everything worked. Highly recommended!"
