I can honestly say this is the cleanest holiday home we have ever rented. The attention to detail is second to none both inside and out. Very comfortable beds with Egyptian cotton linens. Large well fitted bathroom on the ground floor. Well designed and fitted kitchen. The upstairs bedroom is very large with a nice en-suite shower room. The garden is very simple with tiled patios front & rear, modern garden furniture & bbq. You are visited regularly by a robotic lawnmower which keeps the grass short and well tended without the intrusion of a gardener. The only down side to that is that the lower part of the fencing is open for for mower to access which meant the farm dog came visiting a couple of times during our week long stay. This was not a problem for us as we had not taken our two on this occasion but could be for those who are allergic or do not like dogs. The only negative for us (a party of 4 in our 70's) was the seating at the dining table. Two very stylish but uncomfortable dining chairs and one wooden bench which despite a cover was not conducive to comfortable dining.

However, there are a couple of points that I feel need raising. The first was the absence of any kind of hello/greeting from the owners - a few seconds just to say welcome/hello would go a long way. This accommodation is meant for 4 people - the two chairs and the bench provided around the dining table badly need replacing with something comfortable and easy on the "backside" !! Finally, a couple of shower mats would be welcome - the floors in both showers are very slippery when wet. I am a 76 year old with bad hips and knees and had to be extremely careful in the shower not to slip. "Nuff said !!

Fred, the owner, who had clearly put immense thought into ensuring that every detail was taken care of. The cleanliness of the barn was outstandingâeverything was spotless, making us feel immediately comfortable and at ease. It truly felt like a home away from home. The cozy ambiance, combined with the well-equipped amenities, meant we had everything we could possibly need during our stay. Farmer Fred had thought of everything. From the fully stocked kitchen to the plush linens and the little personal touches scattered throughout the barn, it was evident that our comfort and satisfaction were top priority. We particularly appreciated the local tips and recommendations that made exploring the surrounding area a breeze. Overall, Basswood Barn provided a peaceful and relaxing retreat, with the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. We would highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a serene getaway, and we look forward to returning in the future!
