Rm # 5 bed is not as good as Rm # 6. This summer we had opportunity for 2 stays @ The Barrel. 1st visit was #6 & second visit was #5. Otherwise we will return & request Rm # 6 in all future visits.

Although the room and bathroom were spotless, the room was very small with no place to hang clothes.
