A lovely place, attentive host. Games room (not great) pool table was ripped so unable to play on it and dartboard was badly bowed also couldn't play on it. Surroundings were beautiful, the barn was lovely.

Generally good all round. Minor gripes about tricky step in the bathroom which wasn't highlighted, no seperate loo and little by way of "extras" - no shower gel, minimal hand wash and had to contact the owner to find out how to switch on the telly. Comfortable and quiet, more or less what we expected but lacking in a personal touch or welcome feeling.
