Property Description
During lockdown we have renovated and updated our guest house. We are excited to welcome you to our idyllic rural retreat, far away from the hustle, bustle and stresses of everyday life. The top floor of the Barn has been lovingly converted with a big bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and large sitting room. The Barn is incredibly light and airy with beautiful views throughout that make you feel as though you are among the trees. It truly is the perfect country escape.
The Barn has a large and wild garden that is totally private, with outdoor furniture; perfect for alfresco dinning. We have two dogs and a cat, they are all very friendly. You are welcome to bring your friendly pets. (The barn has a double room with a double bed but is very spacious so there is plenty of room for a travel cot. The large sitting room has a sofa bed too.)
The Barn is very close to a number of really special properties and national trust houses (Forde Abbey, Montecute, Barrington, etc). We are a 35 minute drive from the stunning Jurassic Coastline. Depending on restrictions there are many award winning restaurants and pubs a short distance away. We are happy to let you know more about any activities that you may be interested in.
We are a family of five and live in a separate house in the grounds, the Barn is self contained and not overlooked by us. We are happy to help you with anything to ensure that you have the happiest stay, just let us know!
From the Barn there are lots of walks if you wish to explore the local countryside and we are happy to give you directions to our favourite countryside spots!
We love the Barn and hope you will fall in love with it too and will do everything we can to ensure that you have a happy trip in the South West.

Peaceful barn
We stayed at the barn for a 3 night stopover on the way to Cornwall Heather and Angus are very welcoming as are their 2 lovely dogs Pip and MabelThe hamlet of Chaffcombe is very pretty and we had a peaceful and relaxing time sitting in the wonderful private garden belonging to the property. We felt quite remote,which we like, but within easy reach of Sidmouth and Ford Abbey gardens which we visited Burrow Hill gardens is also nearby and worth a visit -amazing views

Kerst in een stalwoning
Heel vriendelijk ontvangen door Heather en haar man.
Mooie stadswoning, ruimte genoeg voor 2 met een heerlijke houtkachel om het lekker warm te stoken.
Je bent lekker helemaal op jezelf in een mooie omgeving. En als je iets nodig hebt hoef je het maar te vragen.
Kortom een geweldige kerstweek gehad.

Beautiful rural location
Was a lovely quaint stable/barn conversion. Equipped with everything we needed.The log fire and electric blanket were very welcomed. Well heated. Very peaceful location.
Our host Heather made us very welcome and on hand if we needed anything.
Would definitely recommend this stay.

piece of paradise
A beautiful property in a wonderful very rural location. So peaceful. Listening to so much birdsong, watching deer and pheasants in the surrounding fields. What more could you need. Friendly hosts with lovely pets, Maple, Pip and Ron. We will definitely return.

Lovely quiet location. Spacious barn. Charming village. Slightly overpriced considering the limited facilities offered in the property.

Blanda barn
Very pleasant property with all the necessary equipment and needs for a countryside break.
Excellent place to park and use of a private garden. Excellent instructions for getting to the property and an outstanding host Heather.

Hidden Somerset
We were very comfortable in a very clean, quiet and thoughtfully organised property with friendly, helpful owners. Our privacy was totally respected. We would book again if we were down that way.
