Lovely converted barn with ample room for 6 adults and 5 children in our party. Bedrooms apart from master bedroom on the small size. Disappointed to find no car charging point despite advertising as available. Outside furniture whilst usable had seen better days. Good size kitchen with plenty of utensils glasses and crockery. Large cinema room was used and enjoyed. A couple of minor issues were quickly sorted. Summing up we all had a great time in this holiday home.
