Response from the owner
Initially I would like to thank these Guests for their positive feedback on what the 'Barn' as to offer as a Self Catering Holiday Barn Conversion which generally mirrors that of previous Guests who have stayed with us and I would request that you keep this at the forefront of your thinking and decision making when considering the 'Barns' suitability to meet your needs Regrettably these Guests, during their stay with us, experienced unprecedented National Grid Power Outages coupled with Grid Phase Outages to keep the Village on line as the Power was moved between Sub Stations to effect repairs to the Main Overhead Supply Cabling damaged by recent storms, this subsequently being confirmed by our Energy Supplier from the data recorded on the Smart Meter Sim Card following my requests to have the Meter inspected for a fault I am sure the greater majority of Review Readers will agree that National Grid Power Outages, due to storm damage, are inconvenient at anytime and certainly when on holiday but I can only reiterate that they are out of my control but I am pleased to report that subsequent Guests have been in the property with out any Power or Wi Fi issues since the repairs to the Overhead Supply Cabling have been undertaken by the National Grid NDO Therefore, I would ask all future prospective Guests to overview all reviews for the property to determine if the property suits their needs and rest assured that should any issues arise during your stay with us I will respond with support as confirmed by these Guests and previous Visitors to the 'Barn' ... but I can only do what I can do!
