Really spacious accommodation, cozy and warm and everything you needed to self cater. Fabulous views. Owners very friendly and on hand if needed. Lovely area to explore. Highly recommended and more than happy return.

The barn itself was very comfortable, highlights being the bedroom with its lovely decor, plenty of wardrobe/storage space, the bath and the barn's situation. A minor point but even better would be to have an up to date guide book for guests. There was information available but this wasn't all together and did not include an explanation of the bins/recycling which do vary greatly across the country. If publishing my review, please leave out this paragraph.
