The Old Lavender Barn was perfect for 5 adults and a child when we attended a wedding nearby. It was impeccably presented and felt welcoming and homely. According to my 6 year old niece, its the best cottage ever!

The Old Lavender Barn is spacious, well equipped and warm - the heating being easy to control. There is easy off-road parking adjacent to the property.

The property was lovely and very convenient for the beach. It was sorely let down by lack of maintenance, we had to get the front door lock repaired, there was black mould in the shower cubicles and there were several other issues that needed fixed. With a bit of TLC this property would be perfect.
