Raikes Barn

Incredible views and walks from the front gate. Short walk across the fields into Hartington. Spotlessly clean and comfy beds! All great!

Nothing

Very spacious lounge/kitchen diner. Comfy sofas. Farm manager lives next door and was extremely friendly and very helpful with advice on the best places to eat. Nice little enclosed garden for the dog and sitting out. Superb views. Really well located for walks

Couldn’t fault it

The property had everything we needed and all the information was there to help our stay. Having fresh flowers, milk and shortbread was thoughtful and much appreciated. We also were given direct contact details to discuss the stay which was very useful as there was an issue we needed to discuss. The response we received was kind and thoughtful.

The only problems we had were trying to contact Booking.com. There was nothing wrong with the property. Booking.com only had an automated system for discussing our problem, which meant we could not resolve it satisfactorily.

Lovely cottage, well appointed and well furnished. Very clean.

The cottage is very remote and there was no milk left at the property. We arrived later than planned due to a puncture (the roads in are terrible and full of potholes) so we were unable to go to the village store - we therefore had no food, milk, eggs etc in the property. Most other places I have booked at least provide a basic welcome of milk as a minimum. Luckily the farmer next door loaned us a cup of milk till the next day. ALSO and with more impact the details say SOFA BED - we were three single females so planned to use the two bedrooms and the sofabed - both of the sofas are SOFAS and we could see no way to make them into a sofa bed - one colleague ended up just sleeping on sofa like a student - I have a screen shot saying 2 bedroom cottage 1 x double 1 x twin 1 x sofabed but this is inaccurate - it wont let me upload the screen shot unfortunately.
