A lovely spacious converted barn with tall ceilings and modern decor. The main bedroom is huge with lots of space and beautiful views out the back. The second room is snug but has 2 single beds and a side table between them, and a chair at the end. Enough room for our kids in the cosy space. The kitchen is really well equipped, with a dishwasher, fridge (with a mini freezer section) and extra small freezer in a cupboard. There are games, a few DVDS and a large TV for entertainment. There were plenty of blackberries around if you go out for walk and many attractions within driving distance. A great find!

A fabulous, tranquil location within a great distance of a range of activities for all ages. The improvement I would suggest, is new bedding as it wasn't to the high standard of everything else, and the bathroom would benefit from a constant frebreze as the plumbing of the drains can be overpowering (due to the type of plumbing required at this remote setting). Otherwise, a fabulous stay. Thank you.
