Guests generally find the barn to be comfortable, warm, and inviting, with a special mention of comfortable beds. However, some guests noted that the creaky floors could be disruptive to sleep.
The property is appreciated for being well-equipped and having good facilities. However, there were comments about the lack of wood for the fire and concerns about the garden's security for pets, which suggests some areas could benefit from attention.

Great location for long walks from the garden. Very comfortable, clean and spacious accommodation, with everything you need for a self catering holiday home. One boundary in the garden is not secure for adventurous collies!

Potentially a very pleasant holiday cottage. However to describe the downstairs bathroom as a wet room including a shower is totally misleading, the shower is above the bath, which in turn is tucked under the stairs. The only real shower is upstairs which is non-ideal if you have mobility issues and struggle with stairs.
