Spacious, clean and cosy barn.Plenty of equipment provided for cooking meals etc.We particularly enjoyed watching the wildlife from the sitting room, being visited by deer, hares, rabbits, and listening to the birdsong.Although the approach roads are narrow, making trips out rather slow, people around were very sensible and good at using passing places.Much to see and do within the area.We were a party of 3 adults and there was plenty of space for us all.Overall we had an enjoyable stay, giving us chance to catch up.
