The barn was very much as advertised, and, importantly for a very cold weekend, the central heating worked most effectively and was straightforward to control.. The fridge freezer was also a good size. The only negative was the level of clutter. Every surface and most cupboards were full - it was really difficult to find space for our things. A self catering cottage should leave plenty of room in the kitchen for provisions, and plenty of work surface free for preparation. Similarly, the sitting room should have space for our clutter - we had to move lots of ornaments (some floor standing and heavy), old magazines, and even unnecessary seats, in order to find space for us to spread out.
That said, the location was perfect, the seats and beds were comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay
