We were a family group ranging from 4 months to 87 years old and the oast house and barn suited our needs just perfectly. The facilities and general finish of the place were outstanding. In particular , the kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were comfy. Some of us welcomed the Sky premium including Sports!
