“Overall we were very happy with Sampson Barn and really hope to come back soon.”
The location, layout, standard and cleanliness of the barn was excellent. I want to say all was perfect and also offer some observations that could have made our stay even better - this is only for us of course and may not apply to others - therefore, by making suggestions, I would contradict my perfect comment. Observations are below and certainly not criticisms:
1) Although very comfortable the settee is on the small side - I like to get my feet up sometimes and the small settee and absence of any footstools had us moving kitchen chairs into living room to put feet up
2) We did not use the washing machine, but missed a dishwasher raising the question whether a dishwasher would be a better option than the washing machine?
3) One of our dogs is lively and nervous and was able to jump onto the garden wall and potentially get over - this was not an issue as it was so quiet, but had there been more people around he may have got over (this is more to do with his condition than anything else). This was solved by always supervising him and often putting him on the lead. We understand further fencing would impact on the view, but wonder whether a role of wire would be a halfway measure?
