Micro Barn Mickleton Barnard Castle

Lovely, cosy little barn with everything you could need

Nothing

Ideal location for our stay, close to family and friends. Able to go with our dog, the barn was secure and quiet and with easy access for dog walking areas. Barn was small, as expected, but perfectly adequate for a couple of nights where we only really needed somewhere to lay our heads at night. Basic amenities of fridge, kettle, toaster (microwave that we didn't need on this occasion) which were adequate for sorting breakfasts. Grateful for a large cupboard/wardrobe where we were able to store our boxes we used to transport all our bits and pieces. Comfortable room, but full with two people and a labrador. Very clean, comfortable bed, adequate bedding and towels.

Washing up facilities! We only used the 2 mugs, 2 side plates, 1 glass and some cutlery, so nothing large like dinner plates (thankfully!). There was washing up liquid provided but the only sink was in the toilet/shower room. Limited space obviously requires a small, shallow, slimline sink - okay to wash hands/face in, but not ideal for crockery! A small washing up bowl and tea towel would have really helped.

The barn was quiet and in a lovely village setting. It was small but had what we needed for a short stay with our dogs.

On our last morning we were unable to shower because all the hot water had been used up by the occupants of the two motor homes staying in the adjoining field. It was quiet when we visited, but I could imagine this not being the case when the pub was open as the garden entrance was right next to the barn. There was no soap provided in the bathroom to wash our hands, which was annoying.

Compact clean secure.

Micro is a good description problem with internet.
