Met with a very unprofessional abrupt rude and impatient cleaner who would not let me back into the property to collect my phone. Which is tracked to be inside the property and was turned off after we left

The Barn is very comfortable, well-equipped and spacious, set in a quiet, peaceful location. We greatly appreciated the fabulous hot tub after a day out ! We used the rail links from Caldercruix to Edinburgh which were excellent. Thank you.
