Two things spoilt the holiday,1 The lack of broadband. I just assumed all holiday let’s would have it. I think the description should highlight it.2 The sofa/settee was not very comfortable for long term sitting.

Our 2nd visit to the Barn, it is very spacious and comfortable. The Barn is very quietly situated and I would say isolated. We found this more difficult this time.The surroundings fields were a joy, there were many Hares and Partridges and birds to watch.It is a drive to the nearby villages, but the Barn is lovely for those who seek peace and quiet.
