  • "We very quickly felt as if we were in the way."

    'Move your car over'. There was plenty of room. We were greeted by a dog, friendly I'm sure, but she jumped up and you could feel her teeth. One of us had to get out of the car when we drove in as she would bound towards us and we were afraid of knocking her over. The bedroom was a problem as one side of the bed had a big 'scoop' shape, which was extremely uncomfortable. The mattress was also rock hard. The blind was also broken and let in light so we were awoken very early, so were tired. Both these issues were commented on in the notebook they had left for comments. The wardrobes were half-height cupboards and so longer clothes such as dresses were on the floor, so we had to use the hook on the back of the door for longer garments. And the picture of the nude in the bedroom we felt was inappropriate. The bathroom had strings of cobwebs in it. There was a massive spider in the sitting room, which defied all our efforts to remove. The place was generally cluttered and we had to move things out of the way to make room for our things - this was especially so in the kitchen. The dishes and cutlery felt dirty and we had to wash everything before we felt happy to use them. The instructions regarding the bins were incomplete - they didn't actually say where the bins were. The grill pan had caked on grease. There was dog hair on the cushions. The dining chairs were uncomfortable and needed the addition of cushions. The sofa was also very uncomfortable. We also struggled to open the bigger windows, some we just couldn't budge, so we were too hot and we didn't want to open the door in case either the dog or their birds came in. There were 6 birds running around, the breed I can't remember, and they were cute. However they were fed early and the noise (we think it was the woman) sounded through the apartment as they appeared to be doing it under us. There had been photos of an outdoor sitting area under the apartment that we could presumably use, but this was filthy and usually had the owners things on it. We really didn't feel welcome. And to top it off they complained about us! They said that we had wrecked the internet router and television. We hadn't touched the router as the code was in the folder in the sitting room. And the television was on a metal folding arm so you could amend the position of the screen. All we did was pull it out and then push it back when we weren't using it. The allegation was withdrawn but it has left a very bad feeling for us. We really wouldn't recommend this place.

    Thank you for your comments. I am sorry you were disappointed. Property Owner

  • "The Wool Barn is a really beautiful, peaceful place to stay and relax, or to explore the surrounding areas."

    We like to cook and the barn was equipped with everything we needed. Lots of great walking in the area for our dog, Dexter, also. A short walk into the village and The Prince Leopold, a cozy local which has fantastic food. Andrew and Gilly, the owners, are lovely and on hand too, if needed, and gave us some great tips on walks, etc. We only wish we had booked to stay for longer!

    Thank you Jason, much appreciated. Do come back and stay for longer! Property Owner

  • "Absolutely loved every minute of our stay, we were greeted as we arrived and the little home comforts that were left for us were such a treat, bread, milk, eggs butter, a jar of fresh flowers and then Gilly popped round with a little pot of jam, all fresh from the farm."

    Both Gilly and Andrew were so welcoming, you can tell from every last little touch that the barn has been their labour of love and they are extremely proud, they should be, it’s absolutely beautiful, amazing views, spotlessly clean, comfortable, the bed is amazing, it’s been converted wonderfully, it’s quiet and there is so much to do around and about, we got to see and do so much. We will definitely be booking again and we have already recommended the barn to lots of friends. Thank you again to Andrew and Gilly.
