This single-storey converted barn lies in the grounds of the owners’ home.

Great care and attention has been lavished on restoring and decorating the barn, with reclaimed floorboards throughout and some original stone walls kept intact. The secluded and private outside seating area overlooks the field beyond. The village of Meare is set on the beautiful Somerset Levels, by the River Brue. It is 3 miles west of Glastonbury and 10 miles from Wells, England’s smallest city. The area is famous for its nature reserves, a favourite of walkers and birdwatchers. Many people come here to watch the murmuration of starlings from autumn to spring. Both bitterns and otters have been successfully reintroduced onto the Ham Wall Reserve. Nearby Glastonbury has many visitor attractions, from the tor to the abbey, the array of individual shops with spiritual themes, and the annual music festival a few miles outside the town. The city of Wells has a magnificent cathedral with a 13th-century working clock, the cobbled medieval street and the Bishop’s Palace, as well as a lively weekly market in its cobbled square. Also, visit Cheddar Gorge and the caves at Wookey Hole and Clark’s retail village at Street. The cities of Bath and Bristol are within an easy drive, as is the county town of Taunton. The coastal resorts of west Somerset and north Devon can be reached within an hour. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

We had a good stay in Orchard Barn. It was , as other reviews have said, very clean. A lovely welcome hamper was waiting for us. The barn is spacious, open plan with a log burner. We appreciated this very much during the recent November cold snap. Lesley and Steve were both very kind and helpful during our stay. We chose here as it’s close to the RSBP sites where we were able to experience the wonder of starling Murmurations most evenings. We also enjoyed a concert at beautiful Wells Cathedral, browsing in Glastonbury and Street , Cheddar Gorge and visiting nearby National Trust Lytes Cary Manor.

Lovely Barn Cottage. Perfect location for all the wildlife areas we wanted to visit. The cottage is so peaceful in a lovely setting. Immaculately clean. Lesley was on hand for anything we needed. The cottage is beautifully furnished, with everything you need for a comfortable stay with plenty of parking. Log burner with logs provided, which was a bonus. Lovely welcome basket.Don’t like to be negative as it is such a lovely place but mattress on the double bed, wasn’t very comfortable and would probably benefit for being changed. However we visit the area a couple of times a year and won’t hesitate to book for our next visit. The Bird pub does fantastic food and only a few minutes away.
