We particularly enjoy spending vacations in December as they are always so nicely decorated for Christmas. Sadly the property lacked the festive spirit as there were no decorations - first time I have known this. We felt the actual rooms were nice but in other areas it was sadly lacking. For example the frying pans were awful and should have been thrown out long ago. The cutlery was an assortment of extremely cheap varieties and we managed to break several pieces just during eating meals as one set was so old and weak. There was an assortment of non matching dishes and only a couple of side plates. It just lacks interest in making it a special place for people to stay. In one bathroom there was no soap in the dispenser and in the other it had been watered down. There was a dishwasher but no dishwasher tablets, no dish cloth or scourer, just a brush. I could go on but in summary it didnât show the love and interest that other properties have had in our experience it is just an adequate property.

The negative reviews I had read before going made me slightly apprehensive but when we arrived it was much nicer than we expected. Three of us stayed for the week so there was plenty of space. It felt really comfortable and warm and private from the other two barns. You do have to drive a fair way to get to the coast or any shops but the roads are quiet and meandering across farmland and open countryside. Lovely outdoor space with table and chairs that I donât think we saw in the pictures. Plenty of hot water, good heating and loads of fluffy towels. Comfortable beds. Views from the main sitting area over fields. Space is its biggest plus. There is a shared laundry room with two washing machines, two dryers and a chest freezer. There are a few things that would make the kitchen better - loads of crockery but only 3 bowls for eight people? No large bowl for mixing or salad etc but would have been useful. DVD player or stereo would be nice. Good Wi-Fi. On one of the days we saw the two Alsatians running about belonging to the nearest house mentioned in other reviews and they are intimidating- I would not have felt it was safe to have a small child playing outside if they were loose. They made me feel nervous of going out while they were there. So many other people have mentioned this and itâs a shame it doesnât get sorted out. If they were on a lead it would be fine. Overall we felt this was a great base, clean, comfortable and warm. Just a few minor changes could make it even better.

It is great for disabled people as there are bedrooms downstairs but only a sliding door shower. If I'm truly honest it could of been a bit cleaner in cupboards and it needs updating but don't let that put you off. We had a great time just what's needed.
