We visited the Cottage Barn recently and were not impressed. The shop itself is more representative of a backwoods flea market with a mish-mash of oddball furniture, and we did not enjoy their ice cream at all.

I had cookie dough and it was the best one I've ever had, it wasn't just vanilla ice cream with cookie dough chucks, it was kind of vanilla with a...I'm guessing cookie taste to it with cookie dough chucks. Either way all the ice cream was delicious! Also most of the items/gifts they have in there are made...
