While there are minor concerns about cleanliness and maintenance, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning to return.
Most guests found Spingle Barn to be clean and well-maintained, though there were isolated comments about areas needing more attention, such as under beds and kitchen cleanliness. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.

The property is well-equipped for large groups, with a games room and ample outdoor space. However, there were some concerns about maintenance issues such as the dishwasher and pool table, and suggestions for improvement like adding a lock to the bike shed.
Many guests mentioned and appreciated the thoughtful gestures such as welcome packs with wine, cakes, and fruit. It is noted that these gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Monyash is a delightful village, the surrounding countryside is supreme and the barn was very well equipped and comfortable for the 4 couples and a dog that made up our family party.

So spacious. Lovely enclosed garden, perfect for the dogs. The property has been converted, fitted out and furnished to a high standard. It has everything we needed. The games room is an added bonus. Andrea responded to us very quickly when we had a minor wasp issue outside. Monyash is such a pretty village. The cottage is just a short stroll to the excellent village pub. The little cafe and store on the village green is also a great find. Lovely packed lunches to take on our many long walks in the surrounding countryside. Definitely recommend a stay at Spingle Barn.
