The barn was absolutely stunning, even better than the photos, and very well equipped. The beds were really comfy. It met the needs of everyone from a 2 year old to a 74 year old. The hosts have thought about everything .... providing towels and toiletries, ensuring there is a great choice of indoor and outdoor door games, there are even highchairs, a potty and a travel cot. The location is beautiful and the grounds are lovely. We got to stroke the alpaca who came to greet us and watch the birds of prey that were landing in the field behind. We would not hesitate to visit again. Absolutely nothing negative to say about the whole experience.

Kitchen was beautiful. We really appreciated the home baked lemon loaf cake that was waiting for us on arrival. The expresso machine was great but would’ve appreciated instructions and only enough expresso powder for one cup - had to go buy more immediately.
