Barncroft: Dogs welcome, dog care services offered

The location was great with good access to the coast and the northern lakes. The rooms were spacious with plenty of space to dry out our wet walking gear and the parking was really useful next to the property. The owners were really friendly and welcoming.

The TV and wifi didn’t work but the owners were apologetic and said they would get an engineer in as a priority. After a day walking in the rain, it would have been good to have had a hot bath but the bath taps didn’t work so we had to use the shower instead (which was a good shower to be fair). The road was busy and noisy from very early in the morning.

Barncroft is lovely. We were out exploring and hiking throughout the daytime, however, it was lush to come back to somewhere so cosy to relax and recuperate. Jacqueline was welcoming and responsive. I thought it was a lovely touch that throws to cover the sofa were provided to allow dogs on the sofa with owners. Though with our dogs being a Golden and a GSD we decided against sharing our leg space.

I can't think of any true negatives, the only thing I could think to change would be to add a new Guest book as the current one is full. Though i think this is rather a postive factor as it shows how popular and enjoyed Barncroft is.

Spacious, clean and comfortable for the family.

The property was very spacious and gave a homely vibe. Added touches with milk and fresh eggs from the farm on arrival was a nice touch. Plenty of cutlery , cooking equipment and such to make your stay as close to home as possible.

It’s extremely close to a 60mph road, approx 6ft from front door to road meaning it’s very noisy throughout all hours of day being on a main transport link for both wagons and cars. The front bedroom is on the main road but had the more comfier bed of the two, but we had to move to the back bedroom on second night to try and get better sleep. However this was two mattresses pushed together and were very soft , meaning wasn’t a comfy sleep for remainder of the stay. Recommend investing in some better quality / firmer mattresses and a bed that doesn’t creek.
