What our guests think of us
Tom’s Barn – is our ‘dog friendly holiday cottage’ really dog friendly?
We have always welcomed (well-behaved) dogs in Tom’s Barn, and are more than happy to do so. From time to time we have also had other pets, such as cats and parrots but by and large it is mainly dogs. With one or two notable exceptions our dog guests are usually beautifully behaved but even [...]

Tom’s Barn Guests’ Comments – Spring 2010
At last I’ve found the time to enter the recent comments for Tom’s Barn. Douglas’s to follow… “At the risk of becoming repetitive another superb week here in Tom’s Barn – John and Marion, wonderful owners, nothing too much bother for them. No complaints! New cooker a doddle, Marion!!” April 2010 “Yet another fabulous week [...]
A Guest Comments on our Blog
(By way of explanation, Derek and Jenny stayed here last year and are returning again soon. While they were staying here they met our then vicar, Christopher Harrison, and one lazy warm evening last year the five of us shared a glass or two of wine sitting outside Tom’s Barn. You can get an idea [...]
Busman's Holiday for our Mystery Shoppers
Well, we have been away for a week, visiting friends and family in Kent and East Sussex, hence the silence on the blog, but of course behind the scenes it has been business as usual. We’ve returned to warm sunshine, evening sundowners outside the barns and talk of barbecues planned for tonight; all the tubs [...]
Tom's Barn Mystery Shoppers' Final Report
Staying as our own guests was an intriguing experience. Not surprisingly, we felt totally at home but at the same time we did feel we were experiencing something special. We had to keep reminding ourselves that we weren’t really on holiday: we were there for quality control purposes! We were warm, beautifully comfortable and more [...]
The Silence of the Mystery Shoppers
Why the strange silence? Had we absconded for ever to Tom’s Barn? Drowned in the love tub or fled the country…? The last is nearer the truth. We have been down to London where our daughter Ruthie was signing in a concert (in the choir, not as a soloist!) fondly imagining we’d be writing daily [...]
Tom's Barn Mystery Shoppers
Not so mysterious after all, but we are taking the quality research very seriously. We’ve always loved both our barns, and it felt really lovely staying there last night, quite cocooned from the real world and feeling very relaxed and holidayish. We tried another telephone on the line and that doesn’t work either, so what [...]
We've moved in to Tom's Barn!
Well, nobody booked this midweek break Monday 15th (Ides of March) to Friday 18th March so we have with some excitement and unseemly haste, moved in ourselves to enjoy the delights – or otherwise – at first hand. What a difference, just crossing that courtyard, seemed to make, silly as it might sound… we really [...]
Bargain midweek break in Tom's Barn!
We’ve succumbed. We daily turn away so many hopeful people who want unavailable dates, we couldn’t believe we’d find ourselves with a midweek break absolutely nobody at all seems to want…! Maybe it’s been a battle of nerves, with someone out there waiting to see if we’d drop the price. Well, we have! We have [...]
