Stunning Barn Conversion next to Horse Field sleeps 10

The location was great

The toilet on our room was not working properly

The property was huge, with loads of amenities and a wonderful touch of milk, sweets for the kids and apples left to feed the horses. We loved the location and thought it was a great size, with plenty of room for our family.

We were so disappointed that the property was so unclean. As a family of 5, we only had a short 2 night stay away as our summer break and we had invited grandparents to stay with us - who brought their dogs. Although the property had lots of things, we were really disappointed to find the crockery with food stains, the bathrooms unclean, the children’s bedroom smelling of sick, the smoke detector in the kids bedroom totally broken and unusable, towels left in the washing machine and thick dust on every surface. My parents felt disgruntled to pay the extra £40 for the dogs for the two night stay. I was just sad that our only get away, was marred by having to clean everything before we used it.

The property was amazing and we enjoy exploring the grounds. Our young kids were very happy to feed the horses every morning their carrots. Great property for families, the pictures do not do justice to the amount of space we had. Very large kitchen!

It’s size and location

There was dirt under the seating. No bin bags. Insufficient information about recycling. £10 per day per dog was illogical and grossly excessive (particularly given the cleanliness of the property). Demanding the payment in cash on day 2 was offensive, worsened by the continued demands. The outside area was very disappointing; unsafe and loose steps leading from the house and a dangerous step from the main door. Insufficient seating indoors for eating and even less outside. The bins were placed beyond where water pooled; this resulted in wet feet. Offensive notices in the house about penalties for breach of apparent rules. Insufficient crockery for 10 people (bearing in mind the some crockery will always be in the dishwasher).

lovely spacious property comfy beds and enclosed garden.

some of the door handles were loose

The Goat Barn is set in a quiet rural area, & the kids loved feeding the little ponies, as the host had left carrots out for them to do so. We also appreciated a complimentary bottle of wine & some little chocolate eggs (it was Easter), being left for us. It's spacious inside, with good-sized bedrooms & living areas. The bedding was clean & smelled freshly washed. The kitchen was well-stocked apart from I couldn't find an oven glove or any kitchen roll, & the Goat Barn is fairly far away from local shops.

Unfortunately there were many spiders & cobwebs everywhere, even places that were easy to reach & clean, & that should have been spotted before our arrival. It's generally in need of a spruce up & a good clean, good examples being the backs of dining chairs with the in-between of the spindles being filthy, & under the rattan-style rug in the living room being thick with dust & dirt underneath; areas that may be over-looked in a home setting, & may only be deep-cleaned periodically, but in a consumer setting need addressing after every guest. The beds were uncomfortable, with mattresses clearly needing replacing, & my daughter had to move beds on our second night because her mattress was so lumpy. As far as I could tell, the host lived on site, but we were never actually greeted by them, which would have been nice. We were told not to drive into the area directly around the Goat Barn, but this meant having to drag our heavy suitcase & all our other baggage from the car park & up a dirt track. The shower head in the main bathroom needs addressing as water just spurted out of the sides all over the place instead of down where you needed it, & if I'd wanted to bath my children whilst there, I would've had to clean the bath first.

The location is lovely, it's the perfect place for a chilled out getaway and wonderful for stargazing. The interior has a very calm and welcoming feel, we felt very relaxed and at home while the outside space is perfect for socialising.
