We had a great time at Holly Barn - great location, beautiful walks nearby, spacious rooms. We had a few issues with the heating - although quickly resolved by the host - and one of the two ovens did not work properly. We also had to buy our own hand soap, shower gel and extra toilet paper as these were partly or completely missing when we arrived. Aside from that, beautiful cottage and very responsive host. Would recommend
