Had everything we needed. Good location for us as have friends in the local area.
Could do with a deep clean in some places.

Cosy, and warm.
Lots of space to relax.
EV charger
Quiet
Had all the essentials plus more.
Only issue was cleanliness.
Cutlery drawers and cutlery would benefit from a deep clean.
Shower appeared to have hair partially blocking the drain, resulting slow draining in the shower basin.

Beautiful setting, well equipped, spacious
The slope down to the property is steep and dark, but the host made us aware of this before we arrived and it didn’t pose any problems

Yvonne is a very friendly host. She left some beautful home produced eggs and apple wine as well as a real glass bottle of milk.
It's a very steep lane down to the cottage and at the steepest parts it's best to drive in first gear.

Great location, traditional, warm farmhouse feel. Our own home is a converted barn so we are comfortable with the style of accommodation. The hosts have thought of everything to make you feel at home.
Can’t think of anything really.

This is a lovely spacious cottage where you can wake up to beautiful views of the countryside. A fabulous and well equipped kitchen for family dinners and a cosy lounge to retreat to in the evenings. From the garden you can see farmland so you feel you are away from it all but the location is actually just short walk from a great pub serving food. Very warm, great wifi and stocked with games and jigsaws for rainy days. Great value for money - highly recommend!

Beautiful property in a truly stunning location. Really friendly owners.
It was perfect. All I would suggest is leaving some milk in the fridge 😊

Owner was flexible with check out time around our needs
Only thing that was an issue was there was a lot of dog poo in the garden which stopped the kids being able to play out there freely

Great location and spacious. Nice garden the kids could play in. Cottage very well equipped interns of kitchen items, games etc. hosts left a bottle of homemade wine and eggs for us which was a lovely gesture. highly recommend.
For a cottage with an occupancy of 7 (we only had 6) it would have benefited from a second shower.

This is my second stay at the barn. I have a third stay booked as I feel so at home here.
In a quiet location with beautiful views this is a perfect place to go off grid. The bedroom are comfortable and neat. There is a large kitchen so meal times are relaxed and easy. The lounge has everything you would need. There is a good size utility room with second toilet. You can sit outside and soak up the sunshine knowing everything has been provided for a great stay.

Made our own breakfast. Location brilliant for us as we were walking in the area and the views were wonderful.
Cottage very well kitted out
Had difficulty using the tin opener and the bottle opener- had to ask for help and the dish washer was a little hit and miss. Couldn't find an instruction book and wondered if you could only use certain tablets in it. We could see the list on the top of the dishwasher but this didn't help us much

There was some lovely touches which were left for us. A nice bottle of wine and fresh new laid eggs. It’s nice when people do that for you. I was busy moving house and emptying it so th3 barn provided me all I needed
The bathroom toilet didn’t flush properly and possibly could do with an upgrade.

Yvonne was an amazing host, checking we were ok and seeing if we needed anything else.
Nice touches like a bottle of wine and condiments for our meals.
The beds were very comfy.
The views were amazing.
Very relaxing stay rural stay but just a 15 min walk to 2 pubs.
Nice to be able to park easily right outside the property too.

The location was perfect for us as only a short drive into the next valley to visit our son and family which was the reason for our trip. But we did have a big family meal for 9 (what a treat after not seeing each other for 18 months!) at The Dog Inn in the village, which was excellent. We didn't spend much time in the house as we were visiting family but it was spacious and well equipped. The garden was particularly nice and could imagine other guests would enjoy sitting in it.

The views where great and it was great for our dog and great walks, peaceful and quiet.
The road down to cottage and the WiFi wasn't great and it wasn't the cleaness
