Overpriced for the facilities, would not stay again or recommend.
Pros:

It was warm with plenty of hot water, The pub next door was the best thing about this accommodation.

Cons:

The description online didn’t reflect the space. We booked this property to sleep four people.
unfortunately the one double bed was in the main room ( with the kitchen), so once one couple got up everyone was up. This wasn’t ideal when we were heading out on the coast to coast walk at 5 am, and leaving my parents in bed.
The taps where the wrong way round and unmarked, nothing was clean, the WiFi didn’t work unless you wanted to go down the lane and stand on the main road, the towels didn’t smell clean, the dishcloth that was left for us I would have only used to clean the floor.

Disappointed
Pros:

The location was excellent for the purpose of our stay.
There is also a great pub opposite ( The Fox Covert). Lovely food, excellent choice of beers, a very welcoming feel to the place.

Cons:

I had originally booked a hotel for this visit to the area, but I decided that a self-contained accommodation would make the visit more enjoyable.so I booked the Byre for myself and my daughter.
The listing states that this accommodation has two separate bedrooms. Upon arrival, I found this to be a slightly misleading description. The two single beds are in a separate room, but the double bed is in the kitchen dining area and not a separate room. If this was clearly stated in the description, I would never have booked as I expected the double bed to have its own room,
The photos of the inside are taken to avoid showing the double bed in the dining/ kitchen area.
The second issue was the wi-fi in the Byre. It didn't have any.
When i raised this issue, I was given a wi-fi extender. This didn't help, I was told to log into the wi-fi next to a building at the bottom of the lane that contained the router, go back to my room, and I should then be able to use the wi-fi. It did connect here, but as I got closer to my accommodation, the signal gor weaker and was lost before I got in my room.
When I spoke to the owner, she was aware of the poor signal but couldn't help any further. She did suggest trying to connect to the pubs wi-fi, but this was not possible.
This is clearly an ongoing problem and should be identified on the accommodation description.
The accommodation itself was ok, not the cleanest I have ever stayed in , dust in the cutlery drawer, and on some of the surfaces, but given the semi rural location some dust is to be expected.

Instead of describing the accommodation as having 2 separate bedrooms, it should say 2 single beds in a separate bedroom and 1 double bed in the kitchenette / dining area. This is a much more accurate description.

Lush Place!
Pros:

A bit loudish, but if you’re alone, it will do the job just fine. Pub is great, food is great. You can’t ask for more. Lovely lady too.

Okay for one night
Pros:

On arrival it seemed great, but unfortunately there wasn't enough sockets in useful places, eg near the bed for a lamp or chargers, also nowhere near a mirror for drying your hair. Towels smelled really dusty too

Pros:

The lady who showed us to the cottage was lovely and friendly. The cottage on the other hand as terrible, unclean, it smelled and the parking was no acceptable. The noise from the road was loud and we had a terrible sleep.

We would never stay again, and certainly would not recommend it, unless it is cleaned and throughly.
