The Barn was excellent.
The Barn was excellent. However there are a couple of issues, as follows.
1) There needs to be a clear explanation of the distance in miles and time to drive/walk to local amenities. Upon booking I specifically asked if the location was within 10 minutes walk of a local pub. Reservations agent phoned the owner for confirmation of this. After booking I looked on Google maps and discovered that the walking time to the pub 40mins!!!
2) I have marked down the score on equipment on the following basis. The property description states Sky TV. However, there is no access to most Sky Channels ) Sport, Movies or catch up TV options, which are Pin protected. This should be explained clearly as it is misleading.
The other equipment in the kitchen was superb and the bathroom/shower was excellent.
