Had a great stay with family visiting from abroad. The Haybarn was clean and tidy and ample accommodation for the 12 of us staying for the week. The location is excellent, with shops for groceries and local pubs in very close proximity. The "chilled" hottub was a treat during the hot weather. Sam was very friendly and helpful with any queries we had during the stay. An amazing spot and great location - hopefully we will be back.
