It was well situated to the coast and the lakes with walk trails right on the doorstep. Our accommodation was very comfortable and clean. We will definitely book this again when in the area.

We did not find any of the issues mentioned in other reviews. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the underfloor heating was very warm. The views from the lounge and bedroom will be forever etched in my memory. Jane and Graeme were the perfect hosts. Helpful but not in your way. The location is great. The Melbreak Hotel is just a stroll away and serves delicious gourmet style food. There is no detectable road noise. We can thoroughly recommend the Barn. Thanks to Jayne and Graeme for the wine, milk, tea and coffee waiting for us on arrival.

Generally well maintained and most of our needs were met. Little things like nowhere to hang coats etc to dry off ( after all we are in the wettest part of the country and perfect for walking), the offroad parking is for us a neccessity but might be a problem to access with a larger vehicle. We stay lots of places and some feel like home as soon as you walk in, but even after a week we didn't feel it here - don't know why. Owners pleasant enough. Would we come back again ? Maybe.
