We enjoyed the holiday with our daughters and family! The hosts were very obliging , there were a few problems with a few maintenance Jobs needed doing like fixing taps and plumbing but my son in law fixed these! He always has his tools with him on self catering holidays!! The house was clean but well lived in but great for us with 1 child and two teens in the party! We enjoyed visiting Watchet twice and had a meal at the Indian In Watchet which we pre booked As the August half price offer was on! It was really excellent also an evening meal at a local pub which was very good too! We played games and walked the dogs and visited Bridport and West sands (favourites of our family) and the weather was kind To us !

Really lovely comfortable property with spacious accommodation layout with great facilities in a good location for exploring the area (albeit down a single track road).. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We were able to roam freely around the farm estate as were the chickens, who were regular visitors to the front door. This is a working farm so there is no enclosed garden space which we would have liked for the children to get out and play safely, especially as we originally planned to have more than two with us when booking but that's my only personal negative. Plenty of parking. The local village pub served great food and was equally friendly and welcoming. Would recommend especially for larger families or multiple family groups.

It’s an old barn that has been converted so don’t expect the height of sophistication or luxury.. However you can expect a lovely relaxing airy quirky olde-world place that is comfortable well located and a wonderful holiday destination. The grounds are ideal for adults children and dogs alike, the walks from the door into the fields or down by the stream being lovely. The Quantocks were new to us and being literally on the doorstep are very worthwhile exploring. Similarly of course Exmoor is lovely too. A return journey on the steam train from local Stogumber to Minehead made my friend’s day and we sampled a couple of the local pubs which provided good basic pub grub - unfortunately the most local at Bicknoller was in the process of changing hands so was not available for food, but the White Horse at Stogumber proved better than our expectations, especially as we were in on the night of monthly meet of locals and their guitars! Overall a really enjoyable week. Highly recommended

The Barn is in an excellent location.. We enjoyed exploring Somerset and Devon. Our dog had a great time too. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and as we were there at lambing time we even got to feed some lambs.

Overall the accommodation was as we expected.. Our hosts were very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Gary would always take time to stop and talk even though he was running the farm and was very busy. A few minor issues. The dishwasher top drawer was broken and we had to fiddle around with it for a while to get it back on it's runners. This happened daily. Short of a few items in the kitchen; scourers for pans, dishcloths, etc. The main picture used in the Sykes Advertising is VERY OLD!!! This gives a false impression of the look of the barn. It makes it look much newer than it actually is. There were 6 adults & 2 children in our party and we had plenty of space.

Very pleasant short-break venue.. Owner's very helpful and welcoming, chickens at the door, lambs in the farmyard, delightful. Do remember, this really is a 'rural/rustic/remote/relaxing' environment, deep down in the countryside adjacent to a busy working farm (especially during the lambing season). So don't expect immaculately cleaned high level windows or cream hall-to-wall carpets...it's a converted barn with many old features, creaky wooden doors and rusty window frames, timber beams etc., accessed by narrow lanes surrounded by high hedges, driving (only) distance from local amenities, pubs, shops and historic attractions/towns (don't miss Dunster Castle). We were 5 ex-college-chums, all now over 65 years-of-age, for a country break mid-april 2018 and we just loved the place! We would not hesitate to re-visit/recommend.

In a lovely location and the family who own the barn were so welcoming and really helpful.. The Barn itself is full of character, beautiful real fire place and has such lovely potential. However the building felt a little run and could do with some work. Cracked paint in bathrooms and a towel rail that’s hanging on by a thread. Also it didn’t feel like the cleanest. Cobwebs and dust every where. The towels provided smelt musty and damp and we had to wash them a few times to get them smelling fresh. The cushions on the sofas and bed linen also just didn’t feel very fresh or clean. Also it’s sold as saying it has WiFi and out of 6 of us none of us could receive WiFi in the barn. There is WiFi in the main house and a booster near by apparently. Not a huge deal but I don’t think it should say it provides it when it doesn’t. Not suitable for young children as lots of steep stairs also the sound from the lounge area travels all round the barn so not suitable for families who need to put young children to bed and want to stay up late. Lots of animals roaming around the farm which was lovely and the stream running by the side of it was really picturesque. In a great location Intetesting place with character and the family who own it were lovely but definitely needs a little TLC.

The Barn was great for families with young children being able to roam around the farm and seeing the animals.. Just found the property a bit tricky with a crawling baby, lots of stairs, otherwise it was lovely :-)

We all had a brilliant time.. The cottage was very comfortable and spacious and set in lovely grounds. The hosts were also very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend the cottage to friends and would be very happy to book the cottage again.
