  : The barn has a lovely location, tucked away with village pub on your doorstep. There is plenty of room upstairs. Kids loved the bunk beds and children themed sleeping areas. Hot tub and zip wire were great plus outdoor searing area.
  : Was dissapointed on arrival. The garden is shabby. Broken bikes, mud in sand pit, grass not cut. Everything has seen better days. Nothing like the photos. Was expecting a wendy house and space hoppers. There is nothing like that. Inside, we spent a while cleaning the dirty pots and baking trays, before we could cook. The snug has room for 3 to sit comfy. Otherwise you are all sat around kitchen table.

  : Lots of space upstairs, bedding was nicely put together in bundles. Clean and plenty of towels for the hot tub, which has been lovely. Large dining area. Zip wire was great. Good outside space and outside dining area for the whole group. Private and enclosed outside space. Kids loved it. The barn is warm with a lovely village location, yet close to amenities. Nice village pub with open fire only a stones throw away.
  : Not enough room to all sit and relax in comfort. Lounge is small with sofa bed for seating. So only the dining chairs to sit on, for everyone. Which some have past their best..The garden certainly looks better on the photo's and the equipment and sandpit definitely needs updating. As do the toys, bikes etc. Which some are broken.

  : Location good, kids loved the zip wire. It was the childrens games etc that convinced me to book the Barn
  : Where do I start! I was very disappointed on arriving. Dog poo found on grass (which wasnt cut)pair of childs knickers on floor beside Princess bed, empty sweet wrappers under bed. Dishwasher out of use for 2 days. The barn needed a thorough clean, especially the showers. The childs area was so overgrown with thorns and Ivy that our 2 year old didnt play much there. Cushions on garden furniture fit for the bin. It is a lovely old property but very tired, unloved and shabby - the saving grace was the zip wire (and bunk beds)which the children loved. The barn is nothing like the online photos. I contacted the owners re my concerns but would have expected an apology, very surprised at early reviews this year who gave it Exceptional ?!

  : Your message will be sent to the property via Booking.comHi David,We had a wonderful stay thank you for having us in your beautiful squirrel barn. We particularly loved the outside tub and got in it both nights with the kids and family. also the surround system was of particular good quality and we enjoyed listening to our music, hope it wasnt too loud the first night.Apart from the power going out this am, this did not affect our stay as we just had cereal and juice for breakfast.I had a question, do you ever get comments that maybe upstairs in main room is a little spooky for example I felt some other presence both nights sleeping in main room, floors squeaking near baby cot in middle of night and also the bathroom door I found open after making sure I had such all doors before before. It is an old house but just thought Id also if you have had another other mentions?Also we couldnt find a pantry, was looking for simple condiments like tomato sauce but we assumed there was only what was supplied on the benchs. - there was one cupboard we found were we could but some groceries, maybe a few more tea towels would have been hardly for longer stay but we were okey for the short visit.Thank you for all your supplies of bread butter milk, teas coffee biscuits! The kids truly loved feasting and nibbling on these goodies and it was soo helpful having those little things waiting for us.Your hospitality and friendly nature would see us back again, especially seen as the kids would just love to come back just to play in the back yard (big kids high light was flying fox) - we certainly had some good laughs.Thank you again,Warm regardsEmily and Andrew
