    Brimley Barn is just lovely and we very much enjoyed our stay here. The barn is very well equipped and has everything you need. It is set in a lovely location and perfect to visit local places, it is so peaceful too. It would be ideal if you had a dog as plenty of space to run about, we don't have a dog (not yet!) But still enjoyed the space, we would love to return with maybe a furry four legged friend! We had lovely weather and clear nights to appreciate the stars and the beautiful full moon whilst we were there. The hosts were lovely and have created a lovely place to stay. Thanks Sarah and Nick. We would highly recommend staying here, you won't be disappointed. Karen and Steve.

    Three bedrooms, two single bed rooms, all well appointed and with plenty of space and storage for clothing if needed. Main bathroom was very spacious. Master bedroom and En-suite was a very nice touch of luxury, along with some nice bedside lamps. The open plan lounge dining and kitchen space was lovely to spend time in relaxing, all one level so easy to move around. Lots of pans and equipment for cooking what we needed to. WiFi was great, I was able to plug my own Fire Stick in to the TV and got what TV I wanted to watch going. Dishwasher, Tumble dryer and washing machine inside were all useful. Plenty of towels provided along with basics in the kitchen, tea and coffee along with dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll and soaps for cleaning & washing. Overall, lovely location and a wonderful stay for us all, hosts were also very welcoming

    It was unfortunately let down by a General lack of maintenance with many fixtures and fittings in need of replacement or repair and although generally ok it would benefit from a good deep clean. Also some sort of a welcome pack (even just a card on the table) would have been nice. We did though have a nice break in an enviably quiet location with the owners seeming nice when we contacted them via text re some issues.
