Lovely clean cottage, in a fab location. Well contained garden for the children, and a stones throw from friendly local pub and tea rooms (we got food from each and no complaints). Managed to get hold of Steph very quickly when we arrived to locate cot/high chair under the beds and she was very helpful. Due to location, it does get very busy arouRead morend the pub and roads, we had some issues not being able to get out of the driveway due to bikes and cars parking inconsiderately. We then used one of our cars to block the driveway on the road so we could come and go freely, and were met with very unhappy neighbours - we explained why we done this and wasn't blocking anyone else to come and go, only blocking access to the drive we were using, however we were sworn and aggressively spoken to on a number of occasions, and at it did damper the holiday.

The cottage was perfect for our long weekend. There was an individual bed for everyone and the facilities were very good. Everywhere was very clean and tidy, we had a fantastic time. The close proximity of the pub made catering very easy.

Great location. Very clean and tidy. Bunk beds rather wobbly and need attention. Boisterous children, as they sometimes are, be aware! The 9am departure time is ridiculously early. We enjoyed the cottage, and would recommend.

We were a family of four adults and three children. The Barn worked very well for us. Everything we needed was provided. We had a couple of small issues which the property manager dealt with very promptly. We did have parking access problems a couple of times but that was caused by inconsiderate parking by car and bike owners on busy sunny days.

The property was well planned and practical, comfortable and pleasant. The location, at the heart of a charming village with a good pub and another restaurant more or less next door and walks from the cottage, could hardly have been better. Our only problem was wasps, which appeared to have a nest above the (unused) front door, from which they had Read moredirect access into the living room. It should be possible to do something about this. Hide
