Great spot to stay - only thing would be to improve the internet. Showers good - clean- all the stuff in the kitchen you need- quiet- well placed - host very helpful- Would stay there again. Close to Monks Cross for shopping etc. Note we moved from the Hayloft to this smaller property once family members left after their stay. So we had the Hayloft for 2 nights and then tne little barn for 3 nights for the smaller family group.
