We had a lovely Christmas break at this delightful property. The location was excellent for us to be near family in Wellington for Christmas.
The Barn is very comfortable, warm and well equipped, and was nicely decorated for Christmas. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Barn again.
Great amenities and most things considered. Quiet but close to a town with great independent shops, restaurants and food. Would be great if it was an enclosed garden for the dog even though good walks for her.

Exceeded expectations. Hard to fault it.
The property is in a very rural setting, yet only five minutes drive from the centre of Wellington. The hosts had left some 'starter' foodstuffs which were much appreciated and there is a good supply of kitchen - utencils/glasses/plates/pans/etc. Probably the best holiday accomodation I have stayed at.

Lovely!
The barn is lovely, very well equipped and a lovely location. Very clean and tidy, having the living room and kitchen upstairs gives great views across the fields. Very comfortable and a great location with easy access to other areasSomersetDevon.

Really nice clean place to stay if in the area (3 adults, 4 nights)
3 adults staying 4 nights, Monday to Friday, for work in the area. Didn't get to see the sites, but the accommodation was a nice play to stay. Easy to find (recommend using What3Words, not postcode on Maps) and access. Good stable Wi-Fi, TV, clean bedding and towels, and the little extras (milk, bread, biscuits, tea, coffee, crisps) were a lovely touch. It has all the facilities you need for a longshort stay. We also had a small interaction with the owner who was a nice gentleman. Would definitely recommend.
