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.

The barn is very well laid out with comfortable space for cooking, dining and relaxing. Definitely somewhere worthy of recommendation and a place we would like to stay in again.
