Perfect for our short stay
An open plan upstairs living area with bedroom and bathroom below… really good for price. We hired it for Christmas to visit my parents in Wells. I had two young children excited for Christmas. It would have been nice to have a Christmas tree for them so instead we lugged their presents in the car to open in Wells. A very warm little place as heated to max so might be worth mailing ahead to ask for lower settings as it’s hard to control as preset and tiny windows so fresh air is not the answer. Just my preference as my home is large and cold so adjusting was difficult. A fab place to stay.

Not suitable for 5 persons
upon arrival we discovered we had made a mistake as we thought the property had more than one bedroom (our fault must have focused on sleeps 5 part of ad) told by owner the other bed is a put you up sofa bed, this turned out to be a very uncomfortable hard bed, if you are tall you will hang over the edge lucky we are not, also don't expect a welcome pack no effort here, also ad says toilet roll provided after you pay you get an acknowledgement of payment which state only one toilet roll provided for four people for four nights ! this our third weekend away this year and have never experienced such a lack of effort by the owner (less than £3 for toilet rolls) considering the cost this should not be advertised as 5 persons accommodation as a cheap put you up bed doesn't constitute a suitable bed for adults, sleeps 2 adults and 1 child at best.

Sorry you found our property unsatisfactory. No one else has ever complained like you did in more than 20 years. The property and it's facilities are fully described in the paperwork provided and you were offered more loo roll. Perhaps a more careful reading of description of a property might better guide your choice another time The futon is standard double bed size and there is the choice of a single dle and a double. The price has always reflected the facilities provided.

Lovely Place
Tucked away off the main road, we loved our stay at the Barn. Has lots of character, while being practical, spacious and cosy all at the same time. We will happily return if in the area Thanks Ann

Quaint English barn
We absolutely loved this sweet renovated barn and the charm of the village, including the flowers in bloom and the old church across the road.

Lovely Stay
On meeting the owner, who is a very lovely lady, we knew we would enjoy our stay. The bed is very comfortable, the sofa bed was also comfy I am told by my sister. All the utensils and equipment you may need are supplied. Eclectic style accommodation, we enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful home in a truly glorious spot
My husband and I recently enjoyed a lovely couple of days at The Old Barn and couldn’t recommend it more highly. Anne was a lovely and communicative host who left us in peace but we knew she was there if we needed her, and she kindly provided all the information we needed in advance of our trip. The old barn itself is a beautiful old building with lots of character. It’s quirky upsidedown living space was rather cool! The place was clean, cosy, nice and cool in the unseasonably hot weather, and just a really glorious place to return to after a day exploring Somerset. It truly is a little gem in a beautiful Somerset village. The beds are comfy, the shower is great, and it’s just a lovely place to be, well equipped for self catering if you need it. There is a pub two minutes walk away and a beautiful church just opposite the barn. It is so well-placed to explore the countryside, with places like Shepton Mallet, Wells, Bath etc, all reachable within 40 mins. We absolutely loved it, it was great value and we’d certainly stay again. Thank you Anne for sharing your lovely barn!

Lovely find - great location for seeing Somerset
The cottage is set between Shepton Mallet and Wells in a sleepy village. There is a wonderful old church directly opposite the property. This delightful barn conversion was great for a short stay while we hunted down the best food and drink Somerset could offer. The host lives a stones throw away and is on hand if you have any issues. We felt very well taken care of by Ann, who can offer tips about visiting local spots and how to get the best out of your stay. The accomodation would easily fit 4 - two downstairs in the master bedroom and two on the main living area on the futon. Wifi signal is great but you might need to step out for a phone signal - nothing to do with the property it's just set in hills so cell tower signal might be weaker. The kitchen has a great multioven for all your cooking needs and well stocked cupboards so you won't need to bring much with you. There is a small walk in shower in the downstairs bathroom. In the mainroom we found a selection of dvds and books - TV comes with a DVD player. The location is also served by Just Eat and a couple of the local eateries from either Shepton or Wells. We ordered a lovely pizza from a local pizzeria which put Dominos to shame. The village is very quiet so if you're looking for peace and somewhere just to relax away from the world. Give this one a try. We'd definitely book again. Lynne

A truly lovely place & great surroundings
The Barn was even better then we expected. Bigger then it shows on the photos. We stayed with a family of five, we have three boys ages 11-18 and where able to all fit in. Really near Wells & Bath and great opportunities for walking hiking in the Mendip Hills. Especially the cheddar gorge is great and challenging!
