We would definitely recommend Oliver’s Barn and would return. It was a fantastic space and is really well appointed and laid out. Bedrooms were all a good size and beds very comfortable. All the bathrooms were well done and the showers worked well. The whole place is really well kept and clean. Very quiet and great walks from the door. Loved our weekend and would definitely return.
