We couldnât even tell it was on. We hardly sat in there as it was always cold. Itâs such a shame the wood burner is not in use as i feel that would have warmed up the areas lovely. Unfortunately for us it was very windy during our stay and some of the windows were very droughty which also didnât help in some of the rooms. There was also no tv in the main lounge and felt it was a waste of such a lovely area. It didnât feel at all cosy. The property is advertised as having two televisions but there is only one in the games room. Not sure why the room is advertised as a games room, it is a second lounge with the tv in it. Unfortunately, the tv is not tuned into terrestrial tv but luckily my son-in - law had netflix. This is also a lovely room and found it to be the warmest room downstairs. Upstairs is lovely, and with the radiators it was nice and warm, but the far bedroom windows were also very droughty. The main bedroom ensuite smelt very musty when we arrived, but it did get better with use. This might need addressing. All in all the place is beautiful and in a lovely location and we loved it. The reason for the 4 stars is that during winter we felt the downstairs needs more heating for the size of the rooms, curtains at some windows for the droughts and maybe a radio or a cd player as the only entertainment is in the far lounge.

The house itself is beautiful, with lots of space for large groups which was great for our family trip. The house is also extremely well equipped with everything you could need for your stay, especially in terms of kitchenware and general house / bathroom supplies which was really appreciated (as well as our welcome selection of fresh eggs and a festive treats!). Paddock Barn has clearly been carefully thought about by the owners and we would love to stay again!
