The barn is described as well-equipped with a practical boot room and ample facilities for dogs. The large garden and the provision of logs for the burner are appreciated. However, the mention of internet issues suggests a slight deduction in the score.

For doggy people the huge boot room is a wonderful plus for towels, food, coats and boots. The fully enclosed garden is a dream for dogs and people alike with lots of seating areas and countryside views and wild flowers. Anna is a delightful host and great cook! You will not be disappointed with this holiday home.
