    Place could be a little cleaner of dust and cobwebs etc

    The authentic rustic feel of the barn, the fire to warm the cooler evenings. Loved the escape from city life.

    The place was done and decorated with taste. Gorgeous little bathroom, very cute kitchen, all in wood and all working. Charming and in a secluded location for a quiet time in a very natural environment.

    It was all fine for us. Maybe the accommodation is ready for a simple freshen up in time for the summer season, is all I'd suggest.

    We had a lovely four nights at the Long Barn. We were given a very warm welcome and were given the freedom to enjoy the property at our own leisure. Even though it was the middle of winter, it was possible to get the barn warm in a short space of time thanks to the excellent log burner. The kitchen was well equipped and the living space was spacious and easy to use. Nice bathroom with powerful hot water too.

    We have no complaints whatsoever, only praise.

    The beautiful remote, tranquil location of the house and its expansive organic grounds, amazing scenery in all directions incorporating rugged countryside, harbours, lakes, hills and winding roads with wonderful views. Richard and Joan were exceptional and went to great trouble to welcome us and make our stay so comfortable and relaxing and we enjoyed so much also the free range organic eggs from the hens roaming freely around the grounds. It was a memorable and most enjoyable stay. We are definitely going back.

    The hot water situation is not great. Followed instructions to turn on immersion and left it on for a couple of hours to have a bath, which I was really looking forward to, but when I let it run it had run cold before it was full and then I could not have that hot bath. The shower also ran cold for the second person on the first morning. If it was summertime, I probably wouldn't have minded so much.

    A beautiful rustic hideaway in a beautiful area very close to the sea. Loved the interior and the wood burning stove.

    However, we did encounter a few issues. There was a slight musty smell, but it wasn't too bothersome. We also noticed that the floorboards leading to the kitchen and dining area were a bit uneven which is a potential hazard . On the last night of our stay, we heard some movement a noises coming from the kitchen, as it turned there was rodent droppings under the kitchen sink,understanably mice are commonly found in an old building but not a nice thought for guests on there stay. It was a bit unsettling for us, and we had to throw away our food left on the counter. Despite these issues, we appreciated our stay at The Long Barn and hope that the owners will address these concerns for future guests.

    During our recent stay at The Long Barn, we found the location to be easily accessible with clear instructions provided by the owners. The barn had all the necessities and felt just like a home.

    I appreciate the rustic charm of the property but I still would expect it to feel clean which is didn’t in my opinion. The bedroom radiators didn’t work causing it to feel and smell very damp through the barn and no response from the owner to resolve the issue when asked meaning my stay was uncomfortable. I’m not usually one to moan as long as I have somewhere comfortable to sleep but the two nights I had to go it of my way to overcome the issues best I could, which as a paying guest I don’t feel is acceptable. Overall with a little tlc it really could be a really lovely place. Maybe better to visit in the summer so the damp/mould not so apparent but sadly I won’t be doing that given my recent experience

    Lovely and rural area with plenty to explore

    Unfortunately the back door lock didn't work which caused problems with the owner's dogs getting in and taking some of our food while we were out.

    Firstly it was impossible to find with absolutely no signage whatsoever on the road for it When we eventually found it the property was tucked away behind the owners house barely could make the entrance out, upon entering the property your immediately hit with a musty smell, the place was damp, cold & with mould around the windows, doors & bath. The washing machine, fridge & tumble dryer had rust on them the whole place lacked care & attention utterly disappointing we didn’t stay a night there

    Absolutely nothing
