Paul
The kitchen facilities were excellent, the bedding, towels etc all good quality and very comfortable beds. We really enjoyed the fire and had one every night. This felt like a real treat on the dark evenings. Everywhere was clean, tidy and as described. We liked the additional touches of blankets, maps, books etc., it felt very homely. We had breakfast outside several mornings so we felt we enjoyed all the barn had to offer.

The barn was lovely and warm, very clean and comfortable. The play barn was an added bonus which was enjoyed by the whole family, including my grandson of 11 months.
