stay at the Sty

as advertised, comfortable and well equipped. Lovely quiet setting. As it's a rural location, there are lots of flies! Not unexpected of course - would recommend some kind of fly killer machine would be helpful. Overall, lovely place and would certainly recommend.

Thankyou for your 5 star review I am glad you enjoyed your stay. As we are rural on occasion we encounter some effects of the hot weather more than most. Apologies, however for some reason we seem to have had an influx of flies over the last 2 weeks of extreme heat that we haven’t experienced before and I’m not too sure why! Thankyou for suggesting a machine we will look into this if it happens again.

Simply beautiful

The Sty is a wonderful conversion. It’s spacious and has everything you need, including some lovely extras like slippers and dressing gowns; the latter we didn’t need, but a nice touch. Being able to do our washing in the middle of a 5–week multi-stop trip was very convenient, especially with the nice big drying rack and iron and board. Car access is a bit tight, especially when you’re used to lots of space, but we managed!! Angie was very helpful when we arrived - the lockbox is hiding in plain sight, but once found it was easy peasy. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Thankyou for your lovely review Jacqui it was a pleasure to host you. You're both more than welcome anytime! I am sorry the parking was a bit tight! For future reference I can offer another parking area also very close to the barn which offers more room. I will look at ways to make the lockbox more visible, thankyou for your comment. Best Wishes Angie
