The Barn was a great place to stay along our trip, my friend and I shared a double bed in a shared room, only complaint was how hot it got on the top bunk for both of us, otherwise it was not a bad place to stay! They also have a bar that is open until 11pm and serves a small selection of snacks, like chicken tenders and jalapeño poppers that were perfect when we were out all day and restaurants were closed by the time we got back to town around 10pm

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
This is a dorm, which is OK, but the organisation is not great. The space in the rooms to have your bag(s), shoes, etc is very, very limited, and not not associated with each bed, so if you arrive late all the spots are taken. The kitchen is too small for the number of guests. Sound echos in the common space and it gets very noisy if there are a few groups all talking at once.
