Patricia
The barn is comfortable and clean, we had all that was needed for the four of us . Perhaps a 4 slice toaster needed instead of a 2.. Mr Watson was very helpful and welcomed us. In all a super stay. On the slight down side, dust under the beds, Grubby slip mat needs attention in main bathroom.

The beds were very comfortable, with ample storage space in the bedrooms. The showers worked very well too. We were a little concerned when we received the details of the location that it was on a farm: this wasn't mentioned in the description but no noisy machinery or bad smells! The kitchen equipment was basic, a larger frying pan would be useful. I did have to buy a hairdryer as I didn't find one. A pleasant stay with lots to do.
