United KingdomOverall this was a comfortable stay with great hosts; there's a few things we felt could either easily be improved or that could have made a nice stay a great one which we hope are helpful. The lounge has a large corner sofa, which seats 4 comfortably and 5 at a squeeze. This was fine for us, but parties of 6 adults or older teenagers might struggle. There's plenty of space for an extra sofa or a couple of comfy chairs - we'd suggest this is an easy win. Similarly the table outside has only 4 chairs - we didn't use it, but we'd suggest adding 2 more. It's worth being aware the en-suite is quite small. The shower cubicle was tight and you have to step around the toilet to get in & out of the corner doors; this is a bit awkward especially if, like me, you're on the bigger side. The sink on top of the toilet cistern is a useful space saving idea, but it's too small to be of much practical use other than for washing hands. We used the sink in the main bathroom for teeth, shaving etc. Similarly, the bath in the main bathroom is very small - useful to have for bathing kids, but I'm not sure I would have been able even to sit in it, let alone lie down. There is a shower over the bath - but no curtain or shower screen; we would suggest adding to help keep the water where it should be. There's no freezer in the kitchen, although there does seem to be a space for one under the kitchen island, and there's no ice box in the fridge. This meant if we wanted ice for drinks we had to remember to buy a bag when heading back, and ice cream was a no-go.
Orchard Meadow Barn is a newly converted barn in a very rural location in Lower Elkstone, right by a working farm. It has great space with 2 good sized double and a decent twin bedroom upstairs, and a large open plan kitchen/dining/lounge downstairs. Furnishings are comfortable and the kitchen is reasonably well equipped - we found everything we needed. We appreciated the stash of board games, and I'm pretty sure the games console got some use as well. There is a charcoal BBQ and seating area outside, with a small fully enclosed garden. Parking for 1-2 cars is available. The owners, Diana & Darren, were very communicative and helpful in the run up and during our stay - they obviously care about their guests experience, with some nice touches including a generous welcome hamper.
