Philip
The accommodation is well equipped & furnished, cosy & comfortable for 2 guests. But the rear courtyard is tiny and not ideal for dogs' needs, whilst there isn't an enclosed area immediately to the front of the property so it doesn't lend itself to dogs wandering freely. Only other issues were both in the shower room, where neither the extractor fan or bathroom mirror light worked, but not a big deal. Overall good VFM and even better if you don't have a dog with you.

Perfect for the two of us and our dog. Lots of information on local walks, attractions etc. Really good location so we could get to places easily and the barn itself was lovely. Very relaxing stay, thank you!
