Overall a lovely stay. Unfortunately the cleanliness was not as hoped. Used cafetière that had not been cleaned. Most of the glasses and cutlery needed cleaning on arrival and there was used towels (assumingly from previous guests) on the back of the main bathroom door. The cot that was provided was also covered in stains on the sides so would have been best to bring our own. OBeds also very uncomfortable/ creeked. However, good location, value and well equipped for all needs.

A little gem of a find. Barn was warmed prior to us turning and with the log burner, was easy to be cosy. We were blest wit some snow one morning and with the Christmas trees out the back, it was quite magical. Will definitely be booking again.
