Firstly a big thank you to Melanie for being so responsive to a problem with the TV box (not of her making but the cable had been pulled free of housing in to back of box) & lovely to speak to. The many positives in summary: the rooms are huge, kitchen well appointed, bathrooms large, great big sofa, loads of kitchen gizmos, great dining table, comfortable beds, clean linen, dog friendly, parking secure, next to a great (if somewhat expensive) pub. The clock chime every 15 mins or any noise from the main road didn't bother us at all - and they provide earplugs should it bother you. The negatives are minimal. The garden isn't really where you'd want to sit for long, there was some 'dove deposits' on the door step and chairs (they live v nearby!). And it took us a long time to work out how to use the coffee machine - we couldn't find the instruction book.

Overall the place is lovely, well equipped and a huge amount of space, everything you need for a short stay! Just a shame about the pigeon/dove decorated entrance

We had a lovely stay at Oast Barn with family. It was very spacious and just what we were looking for. Location was quiet and private with plenty to do nearby.
