“Pros of Barn End:
Newly renovated cottage, tastefully decorated and clean.”
Well equipped kitchen and fantastic log burner ( bring your own logs) to dry off by. Location very close to a pub and plenty of public footpaths nearby. Electric radiators that were easy to use and kept our towels nice and toasty
Cons of Barn End
Grade ii listed building means single glazed windows which can be noisy next to the road. We struggled to keep the place free of damp without the log burner lit ( it was a very rainy week in October) including the shower room that only had a noisy extractor fan. The bed looked more comfortable on the photos and we even tried flipping the (2 zipped together) mattresses to see if it would help. The sofa was also a bit uncomfortable to sit on for longer periods of time (which we did because of the rain!)
Overall I was happy with my holiday and have learned to expect these things in any case so decide for yourself, we also didn't work out the electric shower until most of the way through the week and had been using the eco setting which was quite low pressure. The high setting seems to have temperamental temperature control being an electric shower, I'd recommend having a fiddle with it to get the right temperature. Parking was also just off the road and I could easily fit my mazda 2 in the space but not sure about larger cars
