The location was perfect ,great walks from the property and so peaceful yet easy access to main roads which was useful as we had snow. Easy to get a Tesco grocery delivery. Nice to have a large fridge /freezer and a washing machine. The barn is extremely well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The enclosed garden great for mutt-would be lovely to sit out in the summer months for a BBQ. Courtyard parking in front of barn door is brilliant for loading/unloading car.Great communication from Jerry.Would love to return.
