The Barn” is very cute.
The address is ideal as a base for day trips around Victoria by car.
The patio area was relaxing and peaceful in the late afternoon.
The seating on the front porch area was ideal in the morning sun with a morning coffee to listen to the birds and watch a deer feeding behind the fence of the main house.
However the barn is smaller (some areas are cramped to accommodate 4 adults) and is not as quiet and isolated as envisaged.
I also was not aware the barn consisted of two units and was shared until after I booked and read further reviews. If you are used to shared walls, it might be ok but I am not and I like my privacy. The upstairs tenants changed during our stay, the first were silent. I was more aware of the next tenant. I heard some movement early which woke me, they also parked their car outside our living area window, we closed the curtain from that time.
The barn doors to the bedrooms need fixing, each time my husband and I opened or closed ours it came off the track banging as it dropped, or with us holding the whole door.
The bed is very comfortable but the frame is too big for the room. I had only inches to squeeze between the bed and a fixed wardrobe to manoeuvre myself in and out… I had bruises on my legs as a result.
There was no room for luggage in our room.
The older bed was embarrassing for me as the other couple were unable to sit, get in or out of the bed or even roll over during sleep without everyone hearing the atrocious squeaking of the bed frame.
The stay was ok but not the experience I expected for the cost.
