Broadford Barn - Barn conversion in picturesque village

It was modern, comfortable and very well-equipped. There were lots of kitchen equipment, and the bed was really comfortable. The sofa bed downstairs was great for my 8 year old son. There were some thoughtful touches, like leaving shower gel, washing up liquid, soap and kitchen roll for us, as well as toilet roll. The bedroom was large (although I did hit my head on the sloped ceiling a few times) and there would've been room to do yoga etc. at the foot of the bed.

There was an odd smell just inside the front door, but I got used to it after a day or two and didn't notice it as much. Also getting in and out of the driveway was tricky as it's on a blind bend (blind in one direction) of a very busy road; I manoeuvred in backwards when the traffic waited for me, which made driving out much easier. The driveway is divided into 3 spaces (the one on the right as you look at the property belongs to it) but I was really glad no other cars were in there the week we were there, as parking would've been tight if they were. There was alternative public parking across the road or in a road very nearby on the same side, but with a young child and lots of stuff I opted to use the drive despite the challenges.

Location was good for me visiting family, but it is on a busy corner. Clean and well equipped.

Slight damp smell when you initially enter the property.

Very well equipped for cooking. Pod coffee maker and a cafetiere, but curiously no teapot. I do not make tea by dunking a teabag in a mug! Plenty of towels and teatowels Good location between Guildford & Godalming. Well placed for the crematorium where we were attending a service. Shalford has a railway station and a 'bus service. Facilities in the village were walkable Nice countryside in the area Nice bathroom Dishwasher tablets and liquid provided

Despite requesting feather free bedding throughout the accommodation, this was ignored. We requested this because of allergies. The downstairs bed settee had a synthetic duvet but we had to put the duvet cover and pillowcases on ourselves. There was a feather duvet and feather pillows upstairs and we did not discover a spare synthetic duvet till day 2. However we had to come into contact with feathers to change the bedlinen over and as a result were left using inhalers and sneezing. We then had to try and find somewhere to store the feather duvet. Allergies are a serious matter and can be life-threatening. We do not feel the owner took this on board. We had offered to bring our own bedding if there was a problem. Beds should be made up as requested. Very busy road outside and on a sharp bend with fast traffic. Roadworks taking place right outside (not the owner's fault). Had to park elsewhere (but not too far away) as reversing into the driveway was too hazardous Inside the house was clean. Outside was unkempt - discarded margarine lid, overgrown and green algae growing on the barn door. Velux window was filthy - it isn't now as I cleaned it. Since it swivels in for cleaning this would be easy to do on a regular basis and on such a busy road regular cleaning is essential. First impressions count and this property did not present well initially. Very low headroom upstairs. I'm only 5' 2" and had to be careful when getting out of bed. Bathroom is downstairs, so although the property sleeps 4, you'd have to know the people downstairs well if you need to use the bathroom during the night as it is accessed off their sleeping area. Suspect the property may have a drainage issue as there was an issue with back siphonage in the bathroom. Most airbnb properties we've stayed in have shower gel. This one didn't, so take your own.

Appreciated the tea, coffee etc left for us. comfy beds and lovely equipment in the kitchen.

The traffic from the road was a problem for us. No outside sitting area.
