Go cart barn is spacious and location to main road is good. However it is not very private as there is a complex of other properties at the back and very large windows. The property was expensive and poorly equipped especially the kitchen equipment. Pans were in a terrible state. Information in the welcoming pack was sparse. Bedrooms were fine and good showers but rustic fittings in bathrooms are not very practical for small children.

Really lovely accommodation in a great rural setting. Short drives to many local villages. However, upon arrival the house and outside space could have definitely been cleaner…cigarette butts in the outside space is not appealing. Some TLC/maintenance is also needed. Broken wood panels on the outside seating (very sharp and splintered) and outside slabs is never good, especially when you have small children with you.

Excellent location, reasonably clean and tidy, kitchen superbly equipped but other parts of the barn furniture just about acceptable (sofas poor quality, mattress seen better days as ripped) and therefore doesn’t justify the premium price point. Overall we would recommend the Go Cart Barn as there lots of positive features
