Both bedrooms have their own bathroom, one of these being en suite, and there is plenty of room outside as the barn is set on a small private estate, with the additional attraction of some very nosey alpacas.

Primrose is part of a recently renovated farm complex and can be booked with Marigold (ref M555019) for larger family gatherings. Primrose is approached via a secluded and stunning tree-lined private drive. Although the barn is tucked away in the beautiful and relaxing Somerset countryside, it is in fact, only two miles from the historic market town of Shepton Mallet, five miles from the beautiful medieval city of Wells and within ten minutes drive to Bath park and ride service. In addition, it is close to the Royal Bath and West Showground and is also conveniently located for the world-famous Glastonbury music festival. This really is a perfect location to visit everything that is on offer in the great area of the south west of England.

A really lovely cottage close to Shepton Mallet, most definitively in the countryside. A great base for visiting Bath, Wells, Cheddar Gorge and Stonehenge. The cottage itself is all on one level, cozy and in a modern style. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the area.
