The barn was excellent and good value for what you got. There was 5 adults and 3 children under 10, but we had plenty of space, everywhere was clean with plenty of cutlery, pans etc. in the large kitchen which was very modern. Bedrooms were large clean and warm, comfortable mattresses, and overall we were very pleased with the choice of the barn.The adults and especially the children had the use of a pool table, table football and a log fired hot tub outside so everyone was happy.This rental was different from others we have used, and it comes out as good value and highly recommended.
