Pear tree barn

Welcome from Emma (and her mom) who were carrying out some gardening when we arrived was very warm and welcoming. We could not park on arrival due to a contractor being on site, blocking the entrance. The property was really clean and tidy, with everything you could wish for a short stay, even a welcome bottle of Prosecco! We did not realise that the ground floor and first floor flat directly opposite were long term lets. The upper floor resident on our first night had some sort of get together and because the alleyway is very narrow between the cottage and the flats it was a bit noisy, with guests shouting, laughing and constantly walking up and down the alley (for a smoke I presume). Of itself, not a big deal but went on for around 5 hours ending at 2145. so got a bit annoying toward the end and although the weather was nice we felt we wouldn't sit out as you are directly in line of sight. In fact the courtyard is quite overlooked by the ground floor flat so we didn't use on any night. Cottage is very well appointed and comfortable, The TV has all the channels on so good choice, but is mounted on the wall a bit high for us and had a crick in our necks after watching. The parking is a bit tight, with a narrow entry and 2 other vehicles (large ones) to navigate, I backed in to ensure easy drive off. Its not as isolated as the description implies. Probably look for something more remote next time, overall a good base for those that dont mind the proximity of the residents.

Idyllic

As others have noted, the actual barn is both small, and definitely no longer a barn!It is beautifully finished, perfect for a couple. Everything needed was available for the chef, the little patio area was delightful, magnolia in flower, lots of bees and birds...We will absolutely fine back. Suits us perfectly.

small but well designed and comfortable

For a small building, the layout is good and high quality fittings, too. We used it primarily as a touring base. Specific comments: the bed was really comfortable; could do with bigger bath towels; no spare washing up cloths or tea towels. The shower is electric and works well, but when you are used to a power shower . . .

Perfect

The house is small but had everything we needed to make it perfect. The owner has thought of everything to make our stay a home from home and the location was ideal for everywhere we wanted to visit plus there’s a hotel next door that does lovely meals but you have to book in advance because it’s very popular. Really enjoyed our stay.
