Would definitely recommend staying there. Also a plus is being able to take my dog Hannah.

There wasnât even salt and pepper in the cupboard. The front door is terrible to close and open and needs sorting. The toilet flush cover (the little silver bit) fell off. This was also mentioned in the guest book but obviously not been fixed. There was only one tea towel, again not great for 5 days self catering. The view was extremely disappointing and it is literally a dump outside the barn. The track was filthy to walk on due to the trucks. I text the contact detail a week prior to ask something and no reply. I also rang on arrival to ask something and again no answer and no reply.
