Windsor/Ascot/Bracknell beautiful barn

Barn

7.0

Location is beautiful and not that far from Ascot £17 in taxi but £30 back

− Just got back from the barn. The pictures shown of Barn are not up to date, it has changed alot. The Barn it self is small in pictures does look bigger but big enough for 2 people for short stay. We found cuboards in kitchen bit dirty and spider webs round kitchen, cooker and fridge old, ice formed in freezer. The bathroom is tiny, toilet seat moves as not on properly and nothing in bottom of the small shower so very slippy when showering, easy to fall. Bed although looks lovely has no mattress topper on and when you put hand on mattress you can feel the metal springs so not very comfortable. It could do with all being up dated. Location is beautiful and every thing easy to get to if you have a car. The pubs are a very long walk away not short so will need to have a car.

Charmong property in great location

9.0

`A beautiful little property in a nice area at the rear of the owner's house. Beautiful, quaint with parking and a range of pubs / restauarants within a short driving distance. Very well equipped and comfortable. Ideal for a short stay and close to Ascot, Windsor and other towns.

− Nothing - it was a small property but had everything you need and better than any hotel.

Picturesque location close to Bracknell and secure. Has its own parking space and entrance. Friendly owners. Big TV with Netflix. Dog friendly.

− The barn is smaller than it looks in the images and is very close to the hosts own home. We found it too small for us to be comfortable. The bathroom is very tight and the floor is uneven. The toilet is on a raised wooden base and rocks forward, very disconcerting when using it. The very narrow hand basin is designed for a toilet, not a bathroom. Trying to use the basin to wash yourself without getting water all over the floor is nearly impossible. The shower is small in size and I had trouble using it being 6 foot tall. The only heating in the barn was an electric oil filled radiator. Even on high we found the barn cold in April and the barn door, was wooden like a shed. It appeared old and was misaligned and warped and you could see daylight at the top when it was shut. The bed has a metal frame and is a double (135cm x 190cm). I personally found it too hard and the metal rails at the head end were not comfortable to lean against (lots of extra cushions but the metal was rather unforgiving). We didn't really use the kitchen other than making tea but it looked a little tired. I know it's a converted barn but it was dusty, and the shelves in the bathroom above the toilet had a thick layer of dust over them.

Overall it was an enjoyable stay, everything needed was provided

Location was great, easy to get to (provided you have your own transport) Facilities were very nice and all in working order

− Shower head could use descaling Milk provided was out of date Maybe some instructions for the cooker would be useful

Fabulous cosy hideaway

Beautifully situated in the countryside this cosy barn offered us all we could wish for. Beautiful walks and even a Tesco nearby. Good for Bracknell shopping and visiting Windsor. Really good pubs within walking distance.
