Response from the owner Thank you for your review we are a little disappointed with some of your comments as we have received many excellent reviews previously. The property as advertised in our listing is in a tranquil spot but is less than a mile to the village/main road and less then 10 mins by car to Mkt Harborough hardly remote, in my opinion parts of the Yorkshire moors or Scottish Highlands are that! The track is a typical farm drive and dare I say more ecco friendly than tarmac, its never been an issue before all types of car have accessed the property without a problem even a low slung sports car. We do advertise the barn as being surrounded by wild flower margins with parking and patio area but there is no mention of grassed area/garden maybe an oversite on your part if that was what you wanted, at the barn the fields are your playground. We have been a member of Visit England scheme since 2012, they inspect annually and the modesty curtain is an acceptable divider between the bedroom and the bathroom for a 3 star property. With regard to safety the bedroom window downstairs and velux windows upstairs all open fully and are acceptable exit routes. Thank you for your comment on the washing line the path had gone a bit wild but it has been addressed now.
