It's fair to say the weather was not kind. The property was easy to find and I had no problem gaining access. There is plenty of parking space for 2 cars, the drive is shared with other property owners. Having off-road parking was important to me, I have a large estate car and many of the properties advertised only had on-road parking or car parks a distance away. The property was very well presented and very comfortable. I think it is the best property I've stayed in. It had everything I needed, the photographs do it justice. It is ideally located to explore the surrounding area, the nearby towns and attraction can easily take a week to explore. I would certainly recommend Grove Farm Barn.
