Absolutely Lovely Stay for 5 Nights

We stayed at Moonlight Barn for 5 nights during the June heatwave. While it was hot outside, the large barn windows allowed air flow and there were also two fans to help move air around. The barn is very beautiful and perfectly curated. The kitchen is well-appointed, has everything you might need, and we were left some goodies which were very thoughtful much appreciated (apple juice, crisps, bread, NA rosé, coffee and shortbread biscuits). The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were spotless. We loved seeing the bunnies and hares at dusk/dawn and listening to the birds each morning. We couldn't have asked for a better stay (minus the heatwave! Lol).
