The way our booking system works is as follows:
  1. First click on the Make a reservation button below.  This will take you to our Freetobook page where you can check availability at the Camping Barn on the date you want to stay.  By filling in your details you can make a booking reservation on this page and you will receive a temporary Reservation Number holding that date for you until we receive your booking confirmation. 
  2. Your Freetobook reservation will be held for 48 hours and will lapse unless you go to the Confirm your booking page on this site, pay in full for you booking via Paypal.  (We are sorry but this is the only method of payment we currently accept.  However you only require a debit card to pay via Paypal and do not require your own Paypal account) and complete the confirmation form entering your Freetobook reservation number and confirming that you have paid in full via Paypal.
Cancellation policy:  50% refund if cancelled more than 48 hours before booking date
