“We stayed a week at the Haybarn, we had been expecting a nice quiet stay as this 'let' is in the middle of nowhere.”
It turned out that the property we stayed in was the ground floor of a two story building, the first floor appears to have no sound proofing between the two floors, the hard flooring of upstairs magnified every sound. We were awoken each morning around 05.50hrs as the upstairs occupant got up and ready to go out, they would arrive home around 21.30 each night.(maybe supply them with a pair of slippers?)
The main bedroom houses the water boiler in what once was the only wardrobe, so whenever the hot tap was run, the boiler fires up, I suspect that the boiler is also linked up to the upstairs accommodation as the boiler fired up at various times throughout the night.
The accommodation is supposed to sleep four but there is only one tiny wardrobe and nowhere to store suitcases, the main bedroom is far too small for the double bed, we have bruises to prove how small the gap is between the bed and the radiator. There was only two of us, any more would have been a real squeeze.
WiFi is rubbish, although not necessarily the owner's fault, as the signal to our phones was poor in that area owing to the remote location.
A washing machine is supplied, but there did not appear to be anywhere to dry or air the washing.
On a positive note, the shower was great and the water pressure good. Heating was good (once we had turned the radiators on). It was nice seeing (and hearing) the male pheasant on the lawn each morning.
