We have just stayed at the Oast Barn, it was lovely. It was very clean and spacious. Its location is ideal. The pub next door was lovely and excellent food. We would definitely be booking again.

Oast Barn needs a lot of TLC , Furniture needs cleaning and or replacing It also would benefit from a really good Deep clean, I note that a review from 11 months ago says the same thing so obviously they have not done it !. We didn't let it spoil our few days away as its in a lovely area BUT if you want a property that is really clean with no stained furniture then this place is not for you ,There are quite a few lovely rentals nearby that are better looked after for the same money .

A great house with plenty of space for entertaining. However, it wasn't the cleanest property we have stayed in (and we stay in at least 5 or 6 every year) and some things we slightly broken.
