Wonderful location in a quiet wooded areas .However the accommodation needs attention curtains on sliding doors are torn .There is only one shower which is on suite in one of bedrooms .The cooker is old and the fridge to small .There is a mini freezer on a cabinet.It would be helpful to have more kitchen utensils and a coffee machine (pod )would help .Overall the location saves this accommodation

Very good accommodation, in very rural location, working farm. Much bird life about. Unfortunately very high temperatures in heat wave forced us to leave two days early, just could not cope particularly at night, ok in morning. Just one of those things not caused by venue.Only suggestions are to put grab handles in shower, very slippery, front door step replace not very safe. Sort hob out, one burner not working properly. Finally the dining chairs although in keeping with barn are heavy and uncomfortable.
