The barn is comfortable warm and welcoming and in a beautiful situation. The access is along a narrow road but has passing places, but a little daunting if you are not used to it. It is very quiet - a big plus.We found the kitchen slightly under equipped. We needed more cutlery, more larger mugs, chopping boards and a couple of smaller microwaveable dishes for reheating. All easily remedied.We had a very enjoyable stay.
