I stayed here with my wife, son and in-laws for a few days whilst exploring Somerset. It's a lovely rustic cottage in a peaceful countryside location, and plenty of room for us to spread out, and we all really enjoyed our time here. Would recommend to others.

The property was perfect for our stay. It was exactly what we were looking for. Very well equipped, clean, and most importantly for us quiet. Lots of space for our fur babies to run and a wonderful location for countryside walks and day trips to various places i.e. Wells and Glastonbury. We would highly recommend West Barn to anybody looking for a peaceful retreat or somewhere to meet up with friends/family.

Stunning, private and spacious cottage… the owner was amazingly helpful and the cottage surpassed our expectations… simply dreamy stay! The only thing we would change would be better quality bed linen and bedding but we understand that that would be expensive, not hypoallergenic - this is not stopping us from going back though and loved every moment of it! Truly relaxing stay in a wonderful location.
