Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests report that Corner Barn is extremely clean, with several reviews highlighting its spotlessness and fresh smell. Only a few minor comments about cobwebs and a dirty toaster slightly affect the score.
The location is generally appreciated for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions and amenities, though some guests note it is a bit secluded and a drive away from shops. The rural setting and nearby walks are frequently mentioned positively.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially with the log burner. A few comments about firm mattresses and the need for brighter lighting slightly lower the score, but overall, comfort levels are rated highly.
Facilities are well-regarded, with special mentions of the games room and well-equipped kitchen. Some maintenance issues like a broken shower and sofa support are noted, but these are exceptions in otherwise positive feedback.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful gestures such as welcome cakes, milk, and basic cleaning supplies. While these gifts are warmly received, it is noted that such extras are subject to change and not guaranteed.

The only downside was how gloomy the kitchen area is for cooking in the evening - some extra light would be much appreciated.
