“The Barn was delightful and provided everything for a great stay.”
The only reason I haven’t given the top smiley face is due to the shower screen on the right hand side being broken which made it very difficult to get in it!,however the bath was fantastic.Also I didn’t sleep very well as the bed linen in the master bedroom was very itchy,maybe due to washing detergent which doesn’t agree with me?.This being said still had a great break and would recommend:
Thank you for your feedback and my sincere apologies for the shower screen. This has now been fixed! Any problems like this, please feel free to contact the agent and maintenance should be able to resolve quickly for you.
I'm glad you found The Barn delightful and we hope to see you again! Property Owner
