Ralph's Barn

Loved the style and layout of the place and also the hot tub!

Nothing

Great communication from the hosts, very friendly and messages responded to quickly. Beautiful property with fantastic facilities, garden space and immaculate!

Honestly this place is one of my favorite places to stay and would definitely go back. If I had to add one thing it would be salt and pepper. But that's only because we forgot to get some on our way in. (Supermarket was about 7min drive away)

Everything about the stay was great from start to finish. The hosts were really friendly, the barn was fab, plenty of outside space for the kids to play, the bed was super comfy and the location was great cental to all places we went to. Hot tub was a big hit for all of us and it was massive. We would definitely come and stay again!

LOCATION - Great central location which is quiet PARKING - Brilliant to come back after a day out and be able to park MANAGEMENT TEAM - Both were very pleasant and welcomed us with a bottle of wine THOUGHTFULNESS - A lovely vase of fresh roses in both the lounge and bedroom BEDROOM - Very spacious. Colour is now blue and not white as shown on booking.com. Mattress was spotless and bedding cleaned by laundry firm so felt clean and safe to sleep in. KITCHEN - Plenty of glasses for any type of drink, quantity of crockery.

CLEANLINESS - Crumbs in most drawers, grime on ledges of wall kitchen cupboards, floors not deep cleaned as I wiped some hand cream up that I spilt and the tissue was filthy, balls of old dust wedged in the framework on the doors, Encrusted dirt on lower shower door strip, dust on various surfaces in hallway, ground in food on worktop that I scraped off with a knife and cleaned, the hob has burnt on grime so requires a deep clean. Kettle needed rinsing out several times. Not sure it had ever been descaled. MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP FOR £200 a night property- I did expect better and have stayed in better for the price. photos on Booking. com are out of date and the property is tired and not maintained to a good standard for £200pn especially with the pandemic being so recent. There is no TV in the bedroom as shown in the photos, the furniture does not coordinate as the modern ghost chairs in the photo have been replaced with very worn farmhouse dining chairs, there is a plastic coffee table with cracks, the leather rocking chair has worn tears on the rear, there has been a hole in the wall near the fireplace which has just been filled with foam, wooden kitchen table is faded in places, the microwave is yellowing, dirt in the dials and interior is peeling which is a health hazard in my opinion, the toaster was dirty and had to be cleaned, there is a handle missing on one of the bedroom cupboards, there is a missing vent above the patio doors, electric radiators are. worn/shabby/chipped, worn door thresholds ( just need sanding and varnish), plates and dishes are from several sets of crockery, tap washer needs replacing in the kitchen, bath mats have ground in dirt,sink plug holes have very little chrome left on them.
