Lovely size. Great rooms. Beautiful - very relaxed.The sofa beds are not great though - we had 12 adults and one had to sleep on the sofa. I would suggest dividing upstairs to an additional bedroom and putting in two single beds. Great holiday had. 😄

We loved our stay, clean, spacious comfy however it says sleeps 14 with 2 pull out beds..... these pull our beds are cushions on the floor that would not sleep 2 people on... there was 2 inflatable beds but then not enough bedding. Was disappointed that this was disclosed upon booking

The most fabulous barn for a large group, we had 4 families staying in the barn for a weekend together. The barn was equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. It was clean, organised and very spacious and beautifully decorated. A great location and very close to the Forest of Dean where we did a group bike ride. 5 star would definitely recommend, Thankyou for a wonderful weekend. Best wishes Lucy.
