Beautiful Barn in rural Somerset, close to the coast, with stunning views

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.

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.

Really relaxing few days. Host very welcoming but was discreet during our stay. Property was clean if a little ‘tired’ . Property well equipped on the whole. Glorious location in Chaffcombe and not Cricket Malherbie as advertised! Only -ve issue we had was with Vrbo’s app being unable to handle a change to our length stay. Fortunately our host was on hand t sort it. Would definitely return.

Hidden Gem

Idyllic hideaway surrounded by fields and fresh air with lots of outside space for our dog to run around. The Stable Loft has been tastefully furnished with interesting features. We had gorgeous weather so didn't need to use the log burner. We didn't meet Heather and Angus but they left all the information we needed and used many if their recommendations on where to go and where to eat. We also met Maple and Pip who were super friendly. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Heather has created a tranquil place in a lovely, tranquil setting. The accommodation is spacious and clean and has all you need for a few days away. It's in a lovely rural setting with loads of walks from the doorstep - all in all a great place for a country getaway! Would love to return sometime soon!

Tranquility at its best!!

We had an amazing stay at the barn in Chaffcombe. So incredibly peaceful and tranquil, exactly what we needed. Our hosts, Heather and Angus, were awesome!! So incredibly friendly, and gave us great insights into the community and wider surroundings, as well as places to visit, eat at, drink at etc. Everything about the barn was outstanding. Special mention must also go to Pip and Maple (the dogs) and Ron (the cat), who were great fun!!

Secluded & beautiful setting

My husband and I spent 3 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Heather and her husband were very friendly as were their dogs, who had lots of fun playing with our Lab! The barn was kitted out with all the essentials and was a lovely, cosy place to stay. The view from every window was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting out on the mini balcony by the front door, marvelling at how very quiet and peaceful it was. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a remote (but still within easy reach of amenities) and peaceful place to stay.

Fantastic trip

Just back from a fantastic trip to Cricket Malherbie near Chard. This property is a converted stable in the grounds of the owners’ house, which at one time was the local rectory. It has been beautifully converted. You have a large, comfortable bedroom. An excellent bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen has everything you will require if you decide to eat in. The sitting room is stylishly furnished and is very comfortable. There is also a TV with numerous cable channels to choose from - not that you come on holiday to watch TV. Outside you have exclusive use of a large garden, which at this time of year, is covered in beautiful wild flowers. Our two border terriers loved running round alongside the owner’s two friendly dogs. There are excellent walks from the house. You are also well placed to visit the Dorset Coast or various National Trust properties. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful, but otherwise leave you to enjoy your holiday. We absolutely loved it and hope to return.

Lovely Countryside retreat

Excellent accomodation in a lovely location surrounded by open countryside. Thoroughly enjoyed our short break, very quiet peaceful location with the coast 30 mins away and great pubs for eating out. The property is much more open and spacious that the photos suggest, would definatley recommend. Heather and Angus were very welcoming and helpful.

Simple, rustic and immensely charming and with everything you need.

Very occasionally you stay in a place that immediately feels familar, friendly and reflective of who you are. The barn did that for us and we spent a very happy few days tootling about that very beautiful part of the country. We were lucky enough to have a warm sunny day which we spent walking locally then lunch in the garden surrounded by primroses and celandine. We were visited by Pip and Maple who are both super friendly and seemed to enjoy having new friends staying next door. Meeting Heather and Angus was a complete pleasure and we felt very lucky to have found such a gem that they were happy to share. Thank you!

What lovely accommodating hosts. Not that myself and large dog wanted for much but nothing was too much trouble. What a fantastic paddock for Chief to stretch himself in and a very comfortable self contained apartment to relax in. I haven`t heard the absolute sounds of silence that we experienced in that lovely part of the country, for a long while, maybe forever. Thank you Heather and Angus and hopefully we will be back soon
