Rustic converted barn for secluded getaway
Positive aspects:
The host was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with.
A charming location, albeit quite secluded. One should be prepared to drive 25-30 minutes to get groceries.
Sufficient bedrooms for a family of 5 (or even 6 if children share a bed) and two bathrooms with showers.
Great to have a washer/dryer.
Some more critical aspects:
This converted barn has lots of aesthetic charm, but has some limitations in terms of comfort and proximity to towns and other attractions, making it well-suited for those wishing to escape and be alone. The barn itself retains a good deal of its origins. Consequently, it has not yet been converted with a priority on comfort and lighting/airiness. The downstairs bedroom is nice, but rather dark as it faces the woodland. The upstairs bedrooms are well-equipped. However, there is no hallway and there is an old (closed) trapdoor down to where the kitchen is situated, thus limiting "privacy" and the ability to have discussions downstairs if someone is sleeping upstairs. Some of the internal doors did not properly close (there seems to be some humidity that likely affects the doors). The dock is lovely, but is not immediately outside the house, making it impractical to have meals near it without carrying everything down from the barn to the dock. The back deck of the barn was also missing a table at which a family could eat. Thus, the only practical table was inside, which was a pity.
