We are 78 and 80 and found the settee uncomfortably low. Some instructions as to how to use the TV would be handy for visitors from abroad.

Before reviewing the barn, I'd like to thank customer services for their efficient and sympathetic response when I needed to change the booking for family reasons.

Butler's Barn: We liked the peaceful, relaxing setting, the trees round about and being able to park securely outside the door. The accommodation was perfect - clean, well equipped and of a bright, modern design. It was also warm and comfortable. We particularly liked the lobby for boots and coats, keeping out the dirt and cold. The choice of books on the shelves was unusually interesting and useful and, a nice touch, there were torches in the bedside drawers. Details were obviously well considered.
