Great stay, thank you!

9.0

A beautiful place in the countryside. Very clean & organised & delightful hosts. The pub food was also delicious.

The WiFi was poor during my stay. Although the tv was a smart one, I was unable to watch any program on a streaming channel for more than 10 mins as the WiFi would cut out. It was even like this first thing in the morning.

A generally enjoyable stay to break our journey, with very good dinner in the bar.

9.0

The breakfast was good, with a nice selection of fruit. The rooms were quite spacious. The bed, although firm, was very comfortable and we both had a good nights sleep. Everywhere was spotlessly clean

We could have done with some tongs to remove bread from the toaster. The toaster was very erratic we burnt the first 6 slices at whatever we settings we tried. The lighting in the bathroom was not very bright, wet shaving by touch rather than visually in mirror. Wifi/internet was slow, cricket highlights on iplayer was forever buffering and cutting out.

We stay at the Barn twice a year when visiting family and we feel really comfortable there. It has everything that we need and it is always well prepared when we arrive. The staff are very helpful and friendly and we are always made to feel welcome.

All good.
