Great location. Barn was warm and cosy and easily accommodated 6 adults in terms of space, seating areas and hot water.

A wonderful place to stay. So well equipped - we lacked nothing. The stairs were a bit tricky for my disabled husband but we coped! Fantastic location in Winter and would be even better in Summer
