The Old Barn was beautiful but as a large family group it didn’t provide the most practical of facilities. Hiking through the lounge and upstairs to eat on the deck was a mission. The dishwasher was in the most ridiculous cupboard which was a nuisance to open, as was the bin! It lacked a tumble dryer which is essential for families on wet days and we had to ask for cleaning materials such as a mop to keep the floor nice during our stay. Please also consider relaxing your rules about dogs, we found it beyond stressful trying to keep them out of the lounge and contained within the garden space, its not practical for them to be on leads all week.
With the large price tag that comes with the property and the early check out time of 9.30am, we felt it totally inappropriate to ask us to strip our own beds and empty the bins before we left - not least because the general rubbish bins are not big enough.
On the plus side, Alice and her team were lovely. Dom and his partner were a highlight and there’s no doubt Coulscott offers a lovely setting. Review completed by the family.
