Judith
We found Stoneycroft Barn to be extremely clean and well stocked with crockery etc The layout inside was lovely and comfortable. The setting was peaceful and picturesque. We would have preferred an 11 am departure time and we found it challenging to reverse our cars out of the parking space due to the gradient and gravel. Okay for the 4 wheel drive cars but for the VW Passat, there was a lot of wheel spin and consequent stress.

The location was great, it was clean and generally well maintained. The outdoor seating and space was perfect. Apart from the fact that upstairs is very warm, the only negative is the en-suite shower (which has been noted in several reviews). You canât control the water temperature and it is very hot. It is unusable so thereâs just one shower between 8 people. We managed and if youâre prepared for that I would definitely recommend this place.

There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and also sit around the table to eat together. Good surrounding area for a nice walk. The only negatives were that the en-suite shower was too hot and wouldnât regulate and some of our party felt cold upstairs.
