I had a wonderful stay at the Barn. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Only a short walk to the Castle of Mey, but also well situated for beaches and forests which were ideal for dog walking. By far the best part of my stay was the peace and quiet and the spectacular views. I would definitely recommend the Barn Mey.
