This is an extremely spacious barn - ideal for our family gathering. Yes it sleeps 10 but more practically you can seat 10 at the table, cater for 10 and have 10 people watching TV in comfort! Fridge/freezer is big, dishwasher a godsend and not one but 2 cookers and a hob available. Washer/dryer on .... This is an extremely spacious barn - ideal for our family gathering. Yes it sleeps 10 but more practically you can seat 10 at the table, cater for 10 and have 10 people watching TV in comfort! Fridge/freezer is big, dishwasher a godsend and not one but 2 cookers and a hob available. Washer/dryer on hand although we did not need to use. We had 6 adults staying including 3 pensioners. The ground floor bedroom was a godsend for my father in law who unexpectedly was suffering with his mobility. The property was so warm and the woodburner is always a winner for us, with wood supply plentiful. The location is glorious- we properly lucked out with the weather and the views across to Wales were fantastic. Be ready for some medium to strenuous walks - there are an abundance from your front door. This wasn’t ideal for our elderly parents but to be honest as it was a short winter break they didn’t plan on being outside! There are plenty of scenic drives. Enclosed garden brilliant for our dogs. Note it’s a wee drive to Porlock or Minehead for shopping and the nearest pub is probably 4 miles (Blue Ball at Countisbury which was lovely) so likely you’ll want a designated driver. But we went prepared for all of the above and had no bother at all eating out or catering for ourselves. Farm dog Colby, was a superstar and was very happy to show us round! We had a lovely week and would definitely consider returning.

Very spacious and great layout for a large family group. However the house felt dated and did need some tlc throughout to bring it up to the standard we’d expect of a holiday home.
