Lovely and charming property within a beautiful cottage garden. Very quiet location made for a relaxing stay. Very warm welcome from Caroline. A perfect small treasure for two. We were visiting for a wedding and hopefully we will be back to explore the area further. Many thanks Caroline.

Smashing little cottage

Just a great place in a lovely village, handy for everything in the quantock area, but not far from the big Taunton and lots of other lovely places and seaside. Everyone in the village were friendly and welcoming as was our host who was just the nicest lady.

Perfect for a short stay. Clean and welcoming.

Lovely cosy cottage. Being able to take our dog and use the garden was a bonus. Spotlessly clean and did not smell of other dogs which so often is the case. Thank you

Perfect, relaxing weekend break!

This was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend break, which was exactly what my boyfriend and I wanted after a few busy weeks at work. The barn was well equipt, although it didn't have a proper oven as listed, but that did mean we got to check out the Chinese that was located in the village! It was so peaceful and spotlessly clean and we would definitely recommend this to those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle. The village was quaint and a great place to explore and it was a real treat to hear the sounds of the steam train through the open windows. We hope to return in the autumn.

Excellent host was very accommodating

Had a lovely time host was charming would recommend location, Daisy’s tea room almost opposite is a must especially if you like cakes & cream teas.

Lovely Stay at a Beautiful Property

This is a jewel of a property tucked behind the main street of a very pretty village so close to the Quantocks and Exmoor, yet is quiet and secluded. The garden is a joy - with table and chairs to sit out in good weather. The bed is huge and very comfortable, kitchen well equipped, and the hostess is next door and very friendly and helpful. Close to a 7 day a week late opening shop too!

The Barn review

Very comfortable, pleasant garden to sit in, helpful hosts. A tight squeeze into and out of the parking area but straightforward after doing it once!

A peaceful sanctuary

A delightful and peaceful place to stay. We were so grateful to be able to bring our dog and to have use of the garden. The barn is well equipped and the owners are very welcoming. It is also ideally situated in the village which has everything you need. An easy drive from the village to lots of places of interest and great walks. A perfect get-away place where you can switch off and enjoy. We had lovely weather and were able to sit in the garden for supper and a cosy evening in enjoying the barn and its peaceful atmosphere. We would definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you very much to Caroline Smeaton for her warm welcome and thoughtfulness.

Very Nice Place - Very Nice owners

The property was clean and comfortable and very well-situated for Somerset Archives and the Quantock Brewery. It would be a good base for walking in the Quantocks as well.

Cosy hideaway in Somerset village

Lovely little place in Somerset. Extremely cosy with everything my husband and I needed for a short break away. Would definitely recommend to other people who are looking for a relaxing break. We will be back!

Very relaxing stay

We've had a great time at the barn. Caroline and John were very friendly and welcoming, but left us all the freedom we needed. The house is very clean and all the necessary appliances were there. We would go there again.

Somerset in the heat

We took the dogs on the hottest week for years to a delightful place near Taunton. The beaches are 20/30 minutes away and the village of Bishops Lydeard has good amenities including the Bird In Hand Pub with a large beer garden and welcomes dogs. Mr & Mrs Smeaton couldn't have been more welcoming along with Alfie the poodle and we would recommend the accommodation as ideal for a couple with pets. Shame that Owners Direct bombard you with confusing invoices(() demanding payment even after it's been made. Then loads of emails with offers when you haven't even gone on the first holiday with them.

Clean, cosy and well equipped

Accurate listing, would recommend the Barn, owners quickly rectified the one small problem we had. Liked the Bird in the Hand for drink and food but the other pub was under new management and not really ready for customers.
