Przejrzane przez @lifewithchantalxoxo: I stayed at The Barn Courtyard and it lived up to the fabulous rating. The food at The Horse was banging, the staff were so lovely, and my room was exceptional. I honestly didn't want to get out of bed this morning! Highly recommend if you're nearby.

5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The underfloor heating has a lag time; it takes a while to warm up or cool down.
💡There are no towel hooks in some bathrooms, which is a minor annoyance.
💡The 'courtyard' is actually part of the pub car park, so it's not a private garden oasis.
💡WiFi is surprisingly fast for a rural location, good for streaming.
💡The Nespresso machines in-room are a rare 'luxury' touch for this price point.
