Only downside is the toilet is downstairs which can be a problem for older people. Perry the peacock was great fun who constantly came to the back door to say hello, kids would love it. Would totally recommend this converted barn.

Percy peacock kept us entertained. The hosts are nearby but not intrusive and were very welcoming. The place is easy to find and well kept. We loved our stay in the beautiful countryside.
