Guest Reviews
- Jennie (1/5): False advertisement and incredibly poor attitude from host. - Beautiful house and when it is properly running, would likely make a very enjoyable place to be. We made the most of it between us despite all the issues, though I would never ever come back despite loving the actual property itself. The neighbours were really nice too and helped us with the gates and the bins. -The pool was cold. It was advertised (and as of writing this review is still) as heated. It is also advertised as 'year-round'. When we asked how to heat it up, we were informed that it is 'an ambient temperature'. When I informed the host it was cold, he just repeated the same words to me. It was clear I was not going to get another answer. After leaving we met someone who knew the property who confirmed the pool is actually meant to be heated and this has happened before.
-There was no fuel for the bbq. The host said more would be coming the day after we arrived. Then I had to chase him a few times to find out what was happening and just kept being told they were tying to find some. By the time he text around 4pm we gave up waiting and changed our meal plans, which was a shame as we had bought a lot of food soley for a bbq. We were also only staying for one full day too.
-The hot water in the house was very inconsistent and we had multiple cold showers. Despite following all instructions provided including using the immersion boost, we found the system seem to not be able to keep up with the amount of hot water being used. This is concerning considering the house is allegedly meant to sleep fourteen and there were only six of us.
-The hot tub water felt dirty and could have been better cleaned
-There were no dishwasher tablets. When I asked if we could get some, the host informed me that they were in his cleaners car and that "she would drop them by if she was in the area".
-Some beds were just futons pushed togetheer, so some people just gave up and slept on the sofas instead as they were more comfortable than the 'beds'.
After we complained to the host he became increasingly rude and dismissive, accusing us of lying to get a refund. There was a clear pattern of behaviour that demonstrated he knew there were problems and would say whatever he needed to to avoid accountability and part with any money.
- Lisa (9/5): - Amazing location amazing house amazing host
- pyres (10/5): -

- Francesca (10/5): Amazing, cant wait to stay here again!! - Hosts were so lovely and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. The interior of the barn absolutely gorgeous. My daughters had a little trouble with their beds, finding them a bit hard
- Joseph (10/5): - This was by far the best short break accommodation we have ever stayed at and we travel very regularly. The host's also was unbelievably accommodating and went above and beyond in every way. I want to stay here forever it feels like my dream home. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ENOUGH.
- Nike (10/5): Love you besties - ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. FROM MY BESTIES SMILE AND HUG WHEN I ARRIVED TO THE HARD WORK AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL FROM THE BIG MAN HIMSELF. IF I DIDNT HAVE TO LEAVE I WOULD HAVE MOVED IN. HONESTLY DONT HESITATE TO BOOK GUYS Leaving........ but i will be back!
- Akshay (10/5): -
- Jodienkevin (10/5): Little slice of paradise - Everything was spotless and so clean.
Rob and wendy are amazing hosts nothing is too much trouble for them.
The barn is stunning and has so much character. Its a little slice of paradise made to enjoy. The entrance to the place could possibly do with a sign up as you dont know its there and the trees need cutting back slightly as its such a busy fast road, just to help you pull out a little easier.
