Guests say
Guests are overwhelmingly positive about Snave Barn, praising its beautiful and remote location, luxurious and comfortable design, and the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. The property is consistently described as clean, spacious, and well-equipped, with special mentions of the welcome pack and the helpfulness of Jerry, the caretaker. The hot tub and scenic walks add to the charm of this peaceful retreat.
Reviews indicate an exceptional level of cleanliness throughout the property, with only a single minor remark about marks in the downstairs loo that were not easily removed. This isolated comment does not detract significantly from the overall perception of a well-maintained and immaculate property.
The location is universally lauded for its stunning and tranquil setting by the reservoir, offering peace, quiet, and beautiful walks right on the doorstep. The remote aspect is highly appreciated by guests seeking a retreat from daily life.
Guests find the barn to be very comfortable, with luxurious design, comfortable beds and bedding, and a spacious dining area. The only suggestion for improvement was the addition of a mirror in the downstairs bathroom.
Facilities are highly rated, with a well-stocked kitchen, smart TVs, and a wood burner. The hot tub is a highlight, despite needing time to heat up. One review mentioned poor service from the booking agency, but this does not reflect on the property's facilities directly.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests delighted by the welcome pack and other extras. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed with every stay.

What a fabulous barn which has been converted very well. The hot tub was lovely to relax with a drink and look at the stars. The isolated location was just what we wanted and the surrounding space couldnât have been more beautiful. Wildlife everywhere from rabbits, pheasants, grouse to geese deer. We loved our stay and will definitely be back . Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Jerry was great at communicating with us and made sure we had all we needed. The welcome pack was the best we ever had. We were sad to leave and look forward to booking our next stay.
