Lots of surrounding country roads/lanes with no paths for walking on for safety which was a shame. Nice peaceful location though but the barn is within a working farm and the entrance is tight to enter. First impressions of the barn were it has a very old style cottage feel with the decor. The bedrooms are both a good size each with en-suites. We liked the living room and kitchen being open plan. It was lovely having a fire which we did use once but the barn is very warm and the central heating is easy to use. The bedroom with the four poster bed was not the best sleep I’d had. The mattress was great but every time you moved the frame of the bed creaked. I’d recommend changing the bed to a duvan as the four poster does consume the room. We didn’t use the wardrobe or drawers as they felt abit musky and old to put our fresh clothes in. Both plugs in the bathrooms need attending as you fill up the sinks with water and it soon disappears. The plug in bathroom was the opposite and kept filling up without the plug in when having a shower so we had to be careful as there wasn’t a bath mat to use. Although we didn’t cook the kitchen was well equipped. We were expecting a welcome pack as mentioned on the booking site but all we could see were 2 bottles of water in the fridge, and tea, sugar, and condiments left by previous guests so would suggest being a little clearer on what a welcome pack consists of. It wasn't too much of an issue for us but we’ve stayed in previous places and a welcome pack is more than water.

As stated in visitors book: Kitchen cleanliness was inadequate. Plates and gladness were hand washed and not dishwasher clean. Surfaces were not clean.. No instructions (internet, washing machines, heating, etc.); no basics (salt, sugar) etc and no guest welcomes (water/wine, flowers, etc..But bathroooms and bedding was good and once settled and cleaned up the cottage was good. But not in same league as customer choice.
