The Barn is a great place for a family gathering. We had 6 adults and 5 children in the house - and it didn't feel at all crowded. We found lots to see and do in the surrounding area and, when it did rain, there were games and pastimes in the house to keep us occupied. The kitchen was well equipped and the accommodation well organised. Just one small point; the TVs are advertised as smart TVs which normally means they are connected to the internet and have access to iPlayer, Netflix and so on. These TVs didn't have the ability to do that when we stayed. If you want Netflix etc then bring a PC and an HDMI cable - or more as there are 5 TVs available. All in all a good place to stay.
