Delightful!
We were charmed - by the couple who own the place, by their whimsy and cheerful color palette, the creativity of the whole site, by their pet owl, by the crazy roadway to get there, etc. We stayed two nights in The Hayloft, downstairs only but that was plenty of room for this I must say aging couple.

Wonderful
We went to Lower Barns for a three night stay. We felt comfortable and welcome there.
We left after our stay to have a three night stay in Padstow, we stayed there one night, the accommodation was so dirty that we telephoned Lower Barns and asked if they had room for us for another two nights. They did, we returned and were made so welcome like old friends.
