Old Farm is a wonderful place to stay. The property is immaculate, exceptionally well equipped, and set in the most beautiful, peaceful surroundings.We received a warm welcome from the owner, Steve, who gave us a short tour of the property and left us with a lovely welcome pack of local produce.The towns of Wells and Glastonbury are just a short drive away, making Old Farm the perfect base for exploring the area.Our four-legged family member loved the well-fenced outside space, and there are walks available on the doorstep which are great for spotting the local wildlife.The fact that we've already rebooked for next year says it all! Thank you, Steve for wonderful week.

This was our first stay at Old farm and I can now confidently say it won’t be our last. On our arrival we were greeted by Steve the owner with a welcoming and helpful tour of the beautifully renovated barn. It is tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you need for a home from home stay. The location is peaceful and relaxing. It was just what we’d hoped for from our 7 night stay, and being dog friendly was an added bonus. The locations boasts easy access to many different attractions like Glastonbury, Clarkes shopping village, Cheddar Gorge and many more tourist destinations. The bridle way adjacent to the property was perfect for walking the dog and a longer walk to the local pub. Steve also recommended some great near by pubs for food that were only a minimal drive away (Highly recommended the Red Lion) Big Tesco and Morrisons in Glastonbury are a 15 minute drive so was perfect to keep stocked up on supplies when needed. If you are looking for a comfortable, cosy and up to date accommodation this lovely barn has it all. If you are wanting to explore Somerset’s beauty or just relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside away from city then this is definitely the place for you. Thanks again to Steve for being so helpful. We are very much looking forward to our next visit.

Absolutely fantastic barn - one of the very best we’ve stayed in. High end fixtures and fittings. Steve was super helpful, greeting us on arrival and had left a great welcome pack. The barn was immaculately clean and very well equipped. The weather when we stayed was very hot so it was lovely to enjoy the outside space with bbq and views out to farm land. Location was perfect for trips to Glastonbury and other places like Stourhead and Wells. Thoroughly recommended!
