Lovely spacious barn in a nice quiet area. The Welcome pack was a nice touch. We enjoyed the games table and the many board games available. The only issues were the parking as only one space and the fridge was too small for a group of 6.

The barn could do with a thorough deep clean and get the damp sorted. The smell was overpowering we ended up buying several air fresheners to mask the smell during our stay. Beds very uncomfortable and skylight in the bedroom could have done with a blind or similar. On the plus side the garden was great and the barn very spacious. For 6 people the fridge/freezer/parking situation isn’t adequate
