The Hayloft is described as comfortable, with high-quality bedding and furnishings. However, one review notes that the twin bedroom is more suited to children, suggesting that comfort for four adults may be slightly compromised.
Facilities are well-received, with guests appreciating the well-equipped kitchen, attention to detail, and maintenance of the property. The mention of fans during a heatwave indicates responsiveness to guest comfort. The lack of a private garden is noted, but access to the grounds compensates for this.

Large, bright, airy open-plan room. Two bedrooms, both ensuite. Well-equipped kitchen area. Welcome bottle of wine with flowers and coffee machine capsules. Tremendous view from the Juliet balcony. Quiet and peaceful location. The housekeeper, Lisa, went out of her way to get help when we had a problem with the wi-fi connection. Unfortunately the Talaton Arms's kitchen was closed for holidays so we were unable to eat there. The village shop is a very short walk away.
