Mary and Colin are lovely people and so helpful and friendly. Colin helped us find the spare gas for the BBQ one evening and was there to help us out. The barn is lovely. Great facilities with en-suites and dressing room area. Also there are decent hairdryers in each room which was perfect as I'd forgotten mine. The listing didn't show that detail although I checked before leaving. I really want to re-visit and bring more family as it's a great space to be with friends and family. Highly recommend and we definitely want to return.

Settee very uncomfortable, taps rusty in bathrooms. Broadband fell in and out. Towel rails never warm to dry towels. Top tub a nice touch. Bedding was adequate. A little annoying going outside to a bigger fridge. Bbq was fine. And finally could not lock the key safe on departure.
