Communication before arrival was excellent and the place was found easily with their directions. The barn comprises 6 bedrooms all opening off the large central space. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and we all had space to relax and socialise. It was a great stay.

This was absolutely perfect for our friends annual get together! 11 of us descended on the Anstey Grove Barn for a weekend escape. The location was perfectly placed in the countryside with a short scenic walk (as recommended by our host) to the local pub; ‘The Blind Fiddler’ for Saturday lunch. A well equipped kitchen and utility was perfect for our cooking needs, with a large dining table seating all of us. Plenty of board games on hand and ample seating in the many sofas. Bedrooms were spacious and comfy and all with en-suites. The master bedroom with its four poster bed is highly recommended and a treat for one lucky couple; and that would be me as the organiser. We all had an amazing weekend only added to by the venue and a friendly and thoughtful host. Thank you.

A fabulous place to stay. Location is very peaceful and relaxing. The barn has everything you could want to make your stay perfect. Lots of outside space to enjoy the sunshine ( which luckily we had plenty). Booking and communication with Andrew was excellent. I am sure we will return. Thank you Anstey Grove Barn.

The property was great - we all found the space was ideal for having a group gathering all to ourselves away from the city. The kitchen and common areas are spacious and ideal for large dinners and socializing. Each bedroom was en-suite, which is a very desirable feature for privacy. The host was accommodating and communicative. Overall we had a very good experience and would definitely return.

Wonderful premise and location
Barn booked for a renuion of 11 friends from various parts of the country. Premise as described with plenty of room for us all both inside and out. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great location with many walks and bike rides to explore the surrounding country side. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, memorable stay in a wonderful property
We couldn’t have had a better experience at Anstey Grove Barn. The property was stunning and spotless. Andrew was a lovely host; very helpful and replied almost immediately to my many questions. The location is beautiful, as are the gardens. Plenty of parking, well-equipped kitchen, everything we could have wanted for a weekend in the country. We’d love to come back - thank you!

Great place to get away

All the space you need
Lovely barn, especially in the sunshine. The garden was great for the kids. Lots of space to enjoy and relax. The short walk into the village through woods and meadows is peaceful. The host is also really helpful and friendly.

Perfect space for family get-together
We were three families staying with kids, and the barn was a good size for all of us to relax, both together and apart in individual rooms. The children loved the garden, the kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The weather was even kind enough to enable us to go for a walk in the local woods. Would recommend for anyone wanting time away in the peace and quiet with friends or family!

Really enjoyed our stay here, great venue with plenty for space. Fully equipped kitchen to create our christmas dinner with all the trimmings. Great that all rooms had en suite so no fighting for the bathroom and for a large property there were no issues with being cold....was all very cosy. Overall rating is really 4.5 stars, literally the only thing which stopped a full 5/5 was the absence of TV/entertainment system in the living area. A fully equipped TV and speakers where we could all enjoy a film together, connect phone to or listen to music, play games through TV etc would have made this venue absolutely perfect. Needless to say the board games and jigsaw helped keep us entertained.A fantastic venue and host would definitely recommend.

Anstey Grove Barn is a beautiful Barn in the middle of the countryside of Hertfordshire...The only thing I would say is to travel up early in the winter as the lanes to the Barn are narrow ... This weekend was our girl bonding weekend so the facilities suited our needs ...I would recommend the Barn to groups as it is spacious and clean and It states ‘what it’s says on the Tin’..There are a number of walks nearby... which some of the group Adventure out on ...The villagers are friendly and were helpful ... about the places of interest and other things relating to Barn...A lovely BarnThank you Mr Marchant...

Absolutely Fabulous
What a gorgeous barn!! My family and I had a wonderful time in Buntingford. Coming all the way from Melbourne, we absolutely loved the beautiful English countryside. With all the amenities you could need, and ensuites in every bedroom it made sharing a house with 10 people a dream :) The garden was perfect for a big bbq we had with some friends, the kitchen was well stocked with all cooking equiptment required. It was perfect - Thanks Andrew :)

Beautiful Barn, great for groups
12 of us stayed in the Barn for a uni friends meet up. Coming from London, Bedford and Cambridge the Barn feels far more rural than the 30 minute travel time would suggest! Set in rolling countryside, The Barn is really well set up . 6 bedrooms, all with en-suite and a downstairs toilet means there's no scramble for the showers in the morning. The communal area is large, and it's great to be able to share space while not necessarily all doing the same thing (e.g reading on the sofas while using the table to play games). The kitchen is well equipped too, and plenty of surface space meant we could prepare meals for all of us with ease. And the weather held for a BBQ in the garden too. Thanks for a great weekend!

Memorable family Christmas
A stunning and very well designed barn conversion which facilitated a great occasion for our large family. The fixtures of the ensuite bedrooms were of the highest quality, and the living area was impressive, warm and festively decorated. The huge oven and very well stocked kitchen took the strain out of cooking the Xmas dinner!
Andrew, the host, was welcoming and helpful.

Every bedroom ensuite - excellent stay
Stayed sunny July 2018. Lovely private gardens and lawn for children to play on while we had our BBQ and Pimms in the shady patio area.
What sets this house apart from most on the market is that every bedroom is ensuite, making it perfect for a group of friends or multiple families. Shower water pressure and temperature is excellent.
The barn has modern bathrooms and simply and beautifully decorated bedrooms. Beds are comfortable, and linens all high quality.
The owners are really lovely people and were just round the corner if we needed anything.
It’s in peaceful countryside surrounded by fields and many country pubs just a short distance away. And a big plus for me - Ocado deliver here! Excellent stay.

Great house
The property was great, lovely rooms and Andrew was very helpful. We had a problem with lack of catering dishes in the kitchen, we like to cook and if the house caters for 12, there was only 10 of us and we struggled for large dishes

Above and beyond
We stayed here for a hen do at the beginning of May and simply cannot emphasise how lovely it was. Andrew makes sure everything is just right for you, and even popped some ice in the freezer for me! The small touches such as shower gel and soap on every room is lovely. Waking up to the birds tweeting and nothing else was magical. The beds are luxurious, and the kitchen is very well stocked for whatever you may wish to cook! Cannot wait to book a return visit.

Beautiful barn in a great location
Our stay at Anstey Grove Barn was great. The barn is beautifully renovated, clean, and really comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped for a large group and the large dining table means that you can all eat together. All of the rooms are en suite so all parties had their privacy. The grounds are also well kept - perfect for relaxing!

Superb Barn conversion, offering a luxury stay, highly recommended.
Having come across this accommodation set in Buntingford, we decided to hold a 50th Anniversary there. Andrew was the contact, who thoroughly helped us out with all questions raised and local places to dine. Not to mention his on-hand help with anything else!.
One word. 'Fantastic' and if you are reading this, don't hesitate in booking in for a stay, the Barn itself is wonderful, fixtures and fittings, room space, and with the added bonus of being situated in a quiet location. We used a local caterer called Penelope for the Saturday eat-in meal, the food and service were both first class, and would definitely use her services again!. All in all, the weekend was excellent.
Thanks again for lovely stay,
Mark

Relaxing, well equipped barn in beautiful surroundings
We stayed at Anstey barn over Christmas as a large family party including children. The barn is spacious, clean and very welcoming. All the rooms are beautifully decorated, with ensuite bathrooms and lovely toiletries. The underfloor heating meant we were nice and warm at all times. Andrew was very helpful and close enough to call on if any problems arose, even being so good as to drop round some last minute Amazon purchases! The Christmas decorations were lovely and festive and all in all we had a lovely, relaxing time. The only slight negative is the limited mobile wifi which was limited to 18gb and could only support a few users at once. This is worth bearing in mind if you need to keep up with any work during your break as there is also limited reception. However it does mean you are forced to really get away from it all! I would recommend this place highly for large groups.
