The Barn is described as comfortable and spacious, with cosy features and ample bathrooms. However, some guests mention issues with mattress comfort and a desire for additional home comforts.

The property itself was well maintained, although we felt it could do with a few home comforts (maybe a hairdryer in the bedroom, a few games and books in the lounge, and a decent coffee maker in the kitchen). Overall, it served our purpose for a short stay, and I'm sure it would be very different in the summer months as the views from the gardens are spectacular.

Would benefit with another fridge or bottle fridge. Some larger bowls for soup etc. One or two maintenance problems but were sorted immediately. Altogether a brilliant time was had by all. Hot tub was amazing with fantastic views
