Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the property as spotless and very clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the accommodation.

The property is commended for its lovely rural setting, with plenty of walks and interesting things to do in the area, although it is noted that a vehicle is required for shops and restaurants.

The majority of guests found the barn conversion comfortable and spacious. However, a few mentioned issues with bed comfort and cold showers, slightly lowering the score.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the games room and hot tub. Some guests noted minor issues with TV operation and suggested updates to games equipment, which affects the score.

While many guests were delighted with the thoughtful gestures of wine and cake upon arrival, as these gifts are not mentioned by all reviewers and are not guaranteed, a score cannot be accurately provided.

    Very social living space, nice to be able to sit everyone around the dining table. We had two young children with us, the stair gates, high chair and bed guard were great touches. Hot tub is amazing, although it wasn't up to temperature on our first night. Generally really clean throughout, some dust on the floor in the living room but otherwise spotless. Would definitely come back.

  • Elizabeth

    Very disappointing customer service when dealing with a complaint. Hot tub was not working for most of our trip due to an electrical fault on the part of the owners. Lots of rules and regulations and fines for customers using hot tub, but not a lot of acknowledgment of owners fault. Refund was offered but was an insult. We booked the accommodation solely for the purpose of the hot tub.

  • Chris

    We had a problem with our heating on the first night and both Chloe and Fiona were brilliant in helping to find a solution. First class customer service with a smile. We enjoyed the Games Room and our hot tub. Some fabulous walks in the area too.
