Ideal place for our two night stay with two border collies. Plenty of room for our needs. Private. Peaceful. Great pub/restaurant at The George which is five minutes walk away and very dog friendly where we ate both nights as it was so good. Ideal location for lots of easily accessible places in the area. Great pro-active host. Definitely somewhere we would stay again if in the area. Thanks.Posted on Airbnb![]()

Andrew’s “Little Barn” was perfect for our short visit. The space was much larger than the photos suggested - the vaulted roof added to the large space and helped to keep it cooler when we were there in a heatwave, we also appreciated the fan provided. It was pleasant to have an outdoor area where we could eat our breakfast.Posted on Airbnb![]()

Perfect for our visit including our 2 dogs. Conveniently located in the pretty village of Kilsby. It was a very hot week during our stay but the little barn was cool. We were provided with a fresh supply of towels midweek that was greatly appreciated.Posted on Airbnb![]()

Our stay was for the purposes of visiting friends and family so not there to explore the area, however very good for dog walking at Diamond Jubilee woods a few miles away. Good friendly community store in the village( even offered my hubby a job there! ) Accommodation was exactly as described very clean, comfy bed and very thoughtfully a fan was provided by the host which was brilliant considering the very hot weather. Host was quick to respond to my message regarding our late arrival time. Would be very happy to stay there again.Posted on Airbnb![]()

The Little Barn was exactly as described. Kilsby is a beautiful little village. 2 dog friendly pubs within walking distance of the property, would highly recommend both. The Little Barn was perfect for us and the dogs. Super quiet and private. Had everything we needed and was exactly as described. The hosts gave clear and easy to follow instructions on where to park and how to check-in. Will definitely stay again when we’re heading back to the area.Posted on Airbnb![]()

The Little Barn was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and welcoming and felt very private, not overlooked by anyone. It sits opposite a good grass area for walking the dog and is a short walk from Kilsby's pubs and excellent community shop. Really comfortable and would happily stay here again.Posted on Airbnb![]()

Had a great short stay here. The place was comfortable, and very clean. The kitchen had enough for basic needs but if you'd rather there's some great local spots for food too (which Andrew helpfully recommended). Andrew was super helpful and messaged with very clear instructions for arrival, as well as responded quickly to any questions I had. Highly recommend a short stay in this beautiful area.Posted on Airbnb

Heating
In the colder months the Little Barn is heated with electric heaters. As most of our guests are out and about during the day, the heaters are programmed to come on in the morning (7-10am) and evening (5-10.30pm) at 20 degrees.
For the rest of the day and over night the heating is on a maintenance temperature.
If you require the heating to be on for longer or at a higher temperature, please discuss your needs with us prior to your arrival, as there may be an additional charge. Thank you for your understanding.
Dog Friendly
We’re very happy to welcome up to two dogs at The Little Barn. We simply ask that you bring your own throws to protect the furniture and remove any dog hairs from the Barn before you leave. A vacuum cleaner is provided. The garden is secure and primarily for the private use of the hosts, but four-legged guests are, of course, welcome to pop out for those essential emergency wees!
