We spent a lovely week at The Victorian Barn. It is very well equipped and tastefully decorated and the extra touches from the owner were much appreciated (cakes on arrival, milk in the fridge and a huge box of lego for the children to play with). The barn is set in the heart of the countryside in the middle of fields but Market Harborough is easily accessible and there is lots to do in the area. Our children loved being outside exploring and hunting out the local wildlife. We used it as a base to visit family and friends in the area and hope to come back again in the future.
Really enjoyed our short stay. I thought the photos online didn't do the property justice. What you don't really see in the photos is that the barn is literally in the middle of the farm, so it's a lovely peaceful location.
The kitchen is well-equipped and it was nice to even have an apron. We were more or less able to cook as we do at home because everything's still pretty new and in good condition and I felt that the owners had made an effort to think of everything you'd need in the kitchen
It's perfect for a family, but only good for couples if you would be happy to share the main bathroom. The upstairs en-suite has a toilet and a very small sink.
We were able to let our toddler roam freely as soon as we got out of the car, which he loved. There was a large box of duplo and he was happy playing with that throughout our three-day stay. (We just weeded out the odd thing that wasn't yet suitable for him.)
And we all enjoyed the scones that Sarah had left for us. The small carton of fresh milk was appreciated too.

The Victorian barn is a lovely little house in the middle of the agricultural fields. All the conveniences are in the barn, in case you are family game lover, a cooker, a baker, a birder, everyone's needs are met.
We have a 1 year old daughter who was catered for; there was a cot ready, a high chair and toys to play with.
We were fortunate to appreciate the lovely weather, sitting on the patio outside.
The house is kept up very well and everything was very clean and kept in good condition.
