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!

Probably the best property we have stayed in over the last 15 years. Very quiet, well equipped, comfortable and clean. Underfloor heating a big plus. This was a chill out holiday so didn’t travel very far but spent a nice few hours at Clarkes Village in Street. Well worth a visit. Our hosts were there to great us on arrival and they had left us local butter, sourdough and eggs plus a few alcoholic drinks. Definitely another big plus. Highly recommended.

We have visited this barn 4 times now. It is in a fantastic setting and is fully equipped with all you need to make a remarkable stay. All the barn's fixtures and fittings are of premium quality, this is evident even the bed linen has been chosen with thought to ensure the guests comfort It is in a peaceful location but within east reach of shops etc. It's location is fabulous for walking and safe areas to walk dogs. Also the dogs can let out and can wander around the properties outside space as it has been fully fenced off, which if you are taking your dog is such a welcome addition.The owners also leave a welcome pack which contains milk, bread etc., but also a bottle of fizz all of which is a really nice personal touch. They are happy to help with any information you may need, but, also leave you to leave you to enjoy your time there.
