Canal Barn Bunkhouse has gained a number of tourism industry awards for it's exceptional quality, but please take a moment to browse through some of the many emails we have received from visitors to the Bunkhouse. We think these comments will tell you far more about Canal Barn Bunkhouse than a bucket full of awards ever can:

“Ralph thanks for that. We had a super time and everyone agreed it is the best facility we have stayed in during our 20+ years of these activities. The extra mile that you go to certainly shows in everything about the building, the facilities and the attention to detail, with maps, tea towels, etc, etc. Well done, we will certainly be back for more.” Peter’s Walking Group |

“Thank you for a fantastic weekend, your hospitality and advice was well appreciated as it helped us plan our weekend. The grounds were ideal for our Tai Chi and Chi Kung sessions, helped by your pet ducks who were intrigued with the energy we were creating under the trees. The facilities and grounds were well looked after and very clean, and all were impressed with the building, as on similar weekends the facilities were not as clean, well done to you and Liz. The instructors and students all thank you and they look for to our next visit in September.” Andrew – S.A.S. Martial Art Academy |
