Everything we needed for a great stay

We had a wonderful stay at this property with the hosts being most accomodating. The property had plenty of space and everything we needed and more.Its nice quiet location allowed for great dog walks but was also close to drive and explore many other interesting locations.

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.

Lovely, spacious cottage. Great location. Gorgeous surroundings.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

This property was excellent, it provided everything we needed and more. Michael, our host, was very friendly and helpful. The area was beautiful and very quiet. Communication through Vrbo left a lot to be desired. We had problems accessing the app to find out details which was not the fault of our host Michael.

We are originally from England and now live in the USA. We booked this property to gather for a family Christmas as our family is in Somerset. This was a perfect house, I loved everything about it - it was big enough to host 16 people for dinner. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the area so quiet. Thank you Michael for being so helpful you were the perfect host

Cosy cottage? This is a 3 Bedroomed, large house with the owner living next door. It is very comfortable, especially the downstairs. Its in a lovely area for walks etc.- we took our bikes and had a lovely time seeing some small villages around and a great Pub,10 minutes walk away. The kitchen is very large and well equipped for all your needs, love the old range (which is for show only). Double Glazed through out with it seems wooden frames, they look really nice and suit the property. The large lounge has a massive log burner, we didn't use it but I bet that would keep you warm in the cold winters, didn't see much wood though but that maybe because its still Summer. It is the upstairs that lets this Cottage down, though. There are 2 good sized Bedrooms with a Bathroom, with a very powerful Shower. There is a massive Master Bedroom, with an Ensuite Bathroom (Bath only). The Mattress on the Bed in the Master Bedroom, needs replacing as the springs have seen better days - the other beds could do with updating too. and the Furniture looks old and tired. Because all the floors are wooden, they creak a lot, especially in the Master Room - perhaps by having some Rugs on the Floors, it would make it less noisy and more homely. The Garden was lovely with plenty of space, but again could do with some TLC. The Patio was covered in weeds and the Wooden Furniture, all needs replacing. Having said all this, we enjoyed our stay and it is very quiet in a lovely location.

A beautifully positioned cottage with excellent hosts. Helpful and welcoming from the outset. The cottage is comfortable and peaceful with ample space and well provisioned, but would benefit from some updating now eg outdoor garden furniture and overall decor. However we had a fabulous few days there….thank you.

An excellent accommodation for my family requirements. 4 adults and 2 children. Good sized bedrooms, excellent kitchen and living area. Generally well equipped, some cleaning cloths required would be our only thought. Otherwise, excellent hosts who were available if required, and though living close where very descreet. The property was easy to find given the GPS coordinates. Communication with the hosts was excellent, and they were very helpful in all arrangements. There was good instructions on how to use and find local amenities. A good supply of books and games were available and some Wellington Boots as it was quite wet and muddy at times. Hot water was always available and both shower and bath options were available. If you are in this lovely area to explore, this is a superb property to do it from.

Just back from a short stay in this property. It has loads of quirk and charm. Host was easy to communicate with and friendly. A couple things to point out for future visitors that we weren't aware of. There is a large dip in the farm track on way to property, so avoid bringing any 'low' cars as you'll get stuck. Also one of the bathrooms (with the bath) is an ensuite to a bedroom. Lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

Absolutely beautiful house and grounds... House was already warm on arrival. Loved the notes in frames above the range cooker and fireplace...Hosts were there but not intrusive in any way. Had a lovely away from it all break with some great walks and pub finds.. Heartily recommend the Strode Arms at Cranmore near the East Somerset Railway as a place to eat. - Watching squirrels in the apple tree in the mornings with fresh coffee is a must. Will definitely be returning - 5/5 or 10/10 does not do this place justice... A great find on VRBO and thank you so much for letting us share your wonderful home. Loved it.

A spacious holiday home with a brilliant kitchen with everything you could need. The sitting room was also lovely and big with smart TV and a great fire with lots of logs. The garden was lovely with plenty of seating. We had a great break and visited Barrington House (National Trust), the Fleet Air Museum, Clarkes village outlet shopping and Longleat Safari park on the way home. Good communication with the owner oh and fantastic shower pressure! Thank you for our lovely stay.

We loved everything about this property. It was charming, quiet, dog-friendly, comfortable and friendly host. We enjoyed relaxing with a book, walking around the local community, eating out at a great pub within walking distance and visiting Shelton Mallet prison on a rainy day. We would love to revisit and would highly recommend this property to others.

Super house in what feels like a secret garden location! Very comfortable with a kitchen ready for serious cooking. Local wild swimming currently not an option due to water quality- this was the only downside.
