The Barn is more spacious than it looks in the photos and the views are incredible. The kitchen is very well equipped more than enough of everything for a group of 13 people. Every bedroom is en-suite. The hot tub, Poole and football table were well used. We would highly recommend The Barn for a family and friends gathering.
