a wonderful and quirky stay

unique suites glorious gardens friendly owners comfortable stay

Lower barns was like a great discovery for our trip. The gardens had unique suites, beautifully furnished, with superb beds. janie and mike, the friendly owners, ensured our stay was very comfortable. we enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast in the garden on a lovely sunny morning. It was everything you could wish for to start the day.

The location was slightly off the beaten track. Access to a car felt necessary. the need for a car was the only minor inconvenience i found .

weak wifi fluctuating water pressure

i found a few things that were not up to par. the wifi signal was quite weak in the "one-bedroom suite". it made streaming a movie impossible. also, the water pressure in the shower fluctuated a lot. i found that very annoying during my morning routine.
