5* Barn Conversion c/w hot tub, sauna, games room, 1/4 acre enclosed games

Barn Conversion
I stayed here with my Son, Daughter in law and 2 Daughters, and 3 Grandchildren, the barn Conversion was absolutely fabulous, it had everything you needed and it was so spacious, The kitchen erea outside with a separate games room was fantastic, we spent all our time outside. Michelle and Mark our hosts were lovely i asked if they could arrange some decorations for my Daughters 50th birthday as a surprise and they were beautiful also had a bottle of Prosecco chilling too. The welcome pack was fantastic. The only problem for me was the glass coffee table in the sitting room my Grandson was keep bumping into it so we had to remove it out of there and also the dinning erea glass table i think both tables need some sort of protection on the corners where children are. The hotrub was a great size and views from hottub were spectacular. We all had a fabulous time. Thank you Michelle and Mark for being lovely hosts.

In need of some TLC and sorting
Lovely house, The listing is not very clear as it’s hard to spot certain information. Was not that clear that the kitchen is located at the bottom of a steep spiral staircase & the dinning room is at the other end of the house. The kitchen is FULL of equipment like blenders etc that do not work. the “state of the art” equipment like the toaster &coffee machine are fiddly and not easy to use as quite old. There was no room to put any of the dry food we brought with us as the rest of the kitchen cupboards were full of cassette tapes, DVDs, VHS tapes & books that are probably not needed since there is sky in every room with Netflix available. not clear that the main bedroom has a waterbed and should be more clear in the bedroom description. there was no spare bedding or pillows provided. The bedroom with the bunk beds is nice & having all the stuffed toys is a nice idea but it does seem a little unhygienic. The listing states a washer dryer is available - but the on button was labelled with “do not touch” so we couldn’t use that. It would be useful to know that there was no cleaning products supplied with the exception of dishwasher tablets which were provided. A sweeping brush or vacuum cleaner would be useful in case there are any spills.The general cleanliness was poor when we arrived including dirty oven trays and crockery. The outside space is lovely and the facilities outside are great. any issues we had during the stay were quickly resolved.

Outstanding - way too much to enjoy to sum up in 1500 words!!
I live in Cumbria. This properties location means it experiences very similar weather to what I'm used to. This is the only holiday property I've ever visited where so much thought has been put into the design of both the inside AND outdoor space so that no matter what the weather you are able to enjoy all the facilities all the time. Not the easiest place to find, even following the excellent directions, there were occasions towards the end of the arrival trip that we thought we'd gone wrong... just when you think you've turned into a final blind narrow alley there appear some heavy black gates which open automatically, allowing access to... well... I might aswell say it... a PERFECT oasis... A beautiful barn conversion, with a great layout. The gorgeous cellar/kitchen. The lovely open lounge area with a stunning - how to describe it?... television doesn't really do it justice... lets call it a Bang and Olufsen audio visual sculpture 😄 Great orangery/dining room leading out to the main outside space with kennelling for visiting dogs - the great part of that is that dogs brought by holidaymakers have virtual free range of the house, the kennels are there to cater for gun dogs/working dogs who would prefer to sleep outside the house. Theres an outdoor sauna, a covered spa with an outside TV. There's also an open air shower... To the front of the property is a large open air covered kitchen and games room. Absolutely 1st Class, reasonably priced too!!
