[Ash](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107747314630360004107/reviews) ★★★★★

Stayed for a couple of days with family and friends (group of 17) - it was very well stocked with cutlery and crockery and clean even though we arrived an hour early for check-in It was very peaceful, and although it rained all the days we were there, we managed to use the hot tub, the pizza oven and the barbeque. No pavements from the barn but there are public footpaths for walks nearby. Comfortable beds as well as enough showers and toilets. One of the sofa beds wasn't functioning and sometimes a dog might come along so if you're not a fan, just mention it to the host! Would definitely recommend it for big groups! (Thank you for having us!)

As a nine- man walking group staying for four nights, this was an excellent location. The barn is well designed and equipped and offers a fantastic outdoor social space for a BBQ or relaxation in the tubs or sauna overlooking beautiful peaceful countryside. A six-star experience!

The campsite is not here it's next to "beach barista" but appears like a bus stop. The camping is good and the toilets were clean, not so many showers so I imagine in summer you have to wait a bit for a shower, toilets closed for cleaning from 10.30 to 11.30 and from 6.30 pm to 8.30om, there is washing up area and you can buy pizzas there thursday to Saturday. very nice views but can be very windy make sure you check the forecast!
