    We have just returned from a New Year stay at Manor Farm Barn with friends. There were nine of us altogether, along with our three small dogs. We enjoyed a very relaxed break and also visited the local pub for lunch on New Year’s Day. The house offered plenty of space for our group, and the games room was a lovely addition which kept us entertained for a few hours.On arrival, the property appeared generally clean, although on closer inspection we did notice lots of dust and also mould around several of the bathroom windows. There were also a few minor maintenance issues, such as a kitchen drawer missing parts and a freestanding fire without a stand. One of the en-suite bathrooms experienced a drainage issue, but this was dealt with promptly after contacting the owner, Vicki, which we appreciated.We did find the house quite cold at times and felt that additional heat sources may have helped to keep the property warmer, given its size. We located an extra fire in a cupboard, which was useful, although it did need propping up due to the missing stand. Overall, we felt the property could benefit from a more thorough clean before our arrival and a little general upkeep to bring it to its full potential.For a group of our size, a second television in either the kitchen or games room would have been helpful, as not everyone wished to watch the same programmes. A more generous welcome basket would also have been a nice touch, only milk and sweets were provided - particularly in li

    Fantastic old farmhouse with acres of inside space, cracking games room. Only negatives being the lack of toilet roll for the weekend, and handheld showers with no screen in several ensuites, but the positives outweigh these entirely. Only reason we would consider not returning is the 10am kickout on the Sunday morning is just unnecessarily early, it was such a shame and dampened the experience as it doesn't really leave time for a proper breakfast/morning at the property, which when you've booked for a weekend is basically just a day and evening...
