The only downfall was the narrow track to get to the property. However, once you've done it a couple of times, it's fine.

The barn is fantastic and if you're looking for a base to go walking/exploring it is great. You can literally join walks from the front door and the setting is superb. Only one word of caution, the track (unmade road) from the end of Cwm Lane to the barn is about 100m long and in places is very narrow with stone walls and banks close on either sideRead more. If you have a large/wide vehicle or are a nervous driver you will find access difficult. They do warn about this so please take note. Hide
