  The location is very peaceful on a working farm but is remote as we expected and you do need a car.

  The hosts Mr and Mrs Hobbs are great there if you need them but not intrusive. The description for the bedroom in the eaves I think needs to be made clearer for the round house. It is completely open to the seating are below and there is no door on the bedroom. If someone is in bed and there are people in the kitchen/seating area they would be disturbed as happened for us. I do not sleep well but did not want to get up in the middle of the night and disturb my daughter in the upstairs room. Some of the property is looking tired - the bathroom is very dark and has dark wall covering and there is no natural light and the seal around the bath is looking very tired - I found the bathroom rather depressing. The kitchen is also looking rather tired but has plenty of items for any kind of cooking and the cooker and hob worked fine. The settee is also very old and rather uncomfortable. The surrounding grounds are lovely on this property and there are a number of picnic tables you can make use of but no seating area outside this property as it opens up onto the side where cars park. There is a table outside the window to the side of the kitchen which we used a few times. There can be a number of large trucks passing through to the next farm and they do go rather fast - more a warning for anyone with dogs and children - not enough to spoil the amazing peace of this property. We would stay at Lee Barton Farm again but not in the round house if there were more than 2 of us due to the bedroom being so open and the bathroom. Had a great week and walked to Duckpool a steep walk but lovely when you get there.

  Beautiful cottage for our wonderful Autumn stay.

  I know it's an old property, but the amount of cobwebs around the lights and especially behind the headboards of the single beds were a little off putting - a good vacuum would sort this. Lots of clutter, ornaments etc, where you could see that they've been polished around. Too many plates cups and too much cutlery for a cottage sleeping only 4. The bathroom light is temperamental. The fire in the living roomed worked, however the display did not light up. The upstairs main bedroom the floorboards move so much we were worried the wardrobe and chest of drawers would tip over, or the ornaments would fall and smash. Please remember to take a toilet roll as we arrived before going to the shops and there wasn't no toilet roll at all. However we did have a lovely stay, during storm Ciarán, we certainly couldn't hear much of the bad weather from inside the cottage and we were warm enough. A well stocked shop a short walk down the road and a lovely café. We would like to return to this beautiful cottage.

  Cottage location was excellent as a base. We were travelling as a family of 5 with a small dog. Chose this accommodation as identified secure outside area so our dog could be let out but unfortunately this was not the case so had to keep our dog on a lead in garden which was disappointing. Also would be good for fence around pond for safety. Cottage could be so much more if more attention to detail. Update summer house and seating, put seats on balcony and just a really good deep clean and replacement of plates/cups and general equipment. Luckily we brought our own toilet rolls as only provided 1 in each toilet and brought own essential such as washing up liquid etc as very little provided. Owner was very responsive to our queries as the tv upstairs was not working and was promptly replaced within a couple of days. Live TV not available which would be useful for this to be advertised. We knew we would need own login for Netflix.

  Wow, what can we say other than WOW!

  ! What a great time we had staying at the Fern. Not only did we love every minute, our 2 cockapoos, Maggie & Mabel, had the time of their lives there too. They absolutely loved running around the grounds and seeing some of the farm animals from across the way. And we were able to relax, knowing that it was in enclosed, so the dogs were safe at all times. The hot tub was perfect, along with the outside fire. Julie, the owner, went out her way to ensure we had the best stay there. From providing stuff for the dogs (poo bags, water/food bowls, toys etc), she also posted back to us a few bits that we had accidentally left behind there - ops! The Fern was super clean and comfortable. Just an all round perfect stay. We will definitely be back!! And I'll be recommending it to everyone I know!! Thanks so much again Julie!! Amy, Dan, Maggie & Mabel

  Just a few things.

  The noise from the cottage that goes over the downstairs bedroom is excessively noisey.To us it didnt matter to much because we were out most of the time, but it usually went on till about 9pmish very loud, hear people thumping across the flooring, children sounded very loud as they ran across the floor.Also no programe guide on the downstairs tv, and the tv in the bedroom most of the channels didnt work.The barn conversion its self was lovely, very clean and tidy, its location is ideal with some very beautiful country side surrounding it.We loved staying there and would deffinately stay again.A dish washer would be very handy also.
