Lovely peaceful stay, the barn is beautiful, and had everything we needed. The bedding was so soft and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Thank you so much for the yummy cake, that was waiting for us. Definitely would recommend 😊

When we arrived at the cottage we realised it hadn't been cleaned properly. Downstairs although the toilet bowls were clean, around the rest of the toilet (behind the seat, on top of the cistern, etc) was covered in dust, dirt and hair. The bath was really dirty and the plug hole was full of long dark hair which I had to clear out. I had to clean the main bathroom before we could use it and we avoided using the en-suite as much as possible. Lots of things like the mastic around the bath and the bathroom mirror just looked tatty and shabby.There were thick cobwebs on most of the windows. We also noticed there was quite a lot of black mold in the corner of the stairwell. I've never stayed anywhere that was this dirty before. The fresh flowers and home made cake were a lovely touch but I mostly just felt uncomfortable staying here.

We had a lovely stay and really appreciated all the lovely extra little touches that the owner does to make you feel welcome and your stay more comfortable (including the very yummy cake). The area is so peaceful yet not too far a drive from the beaches and shops etc.
