The cottage was clean, well equipped and so peaceful. I was visiting family in the area and this was a perfect base, also a five minute walk to the village where we had a great family Sunday lunch at the Cross Keys pub. I look forward to staying again.

We stayed here for a week in April 2026; right from the start, we knew we had made the right decision. Beautiful location, peaceful, and very quiet. It's a great base for anyone wanting to visit Bath, Longleat Safari Park, Stonehenge and the Isle of Wight. The hosts, Sarah & Mike, live right next door. Although we never met Mike, Sarah was brilliant. If you don't want to drive, there is a brilliant bus service just up the road that runs every hour into Bath. 7 days a week, from early in the morning to late at night, and it only costs 3. There is also a bakery next to the property, open Friday and Saturday mornings. We definitely intend to stay here again. For the price you will not be disappointed.

Hello Thank you for your excellent review and we are so pleased you had such a good time. We are lucky to have so many different things to do in the area but still be rural and have countryside walks on our doorstep as well as the big tourist destinations of Bath, Stone Henge and Longleat. We would certainly be very happy to welcome you back to stay again. With best wishes. Sarah and Mike

Perfect Getaway Retreat

Absolutely loved my stay at The Barn….only complaint is that the week went by far too quickly! The cottage is a perfect retreat, such beauty and peaceful surroundings and with so many stunning places to explore right on the doorstep. The cottage itself is well thought out and provides absolutely everything you need for a perfect stay. Loved this place so much, will definitely be back again soon ❤️

Lovely week

It was such a relaxing place to stay in a beautiful peaceful piece of Somerset countryside - the cottage is lovely and the immediate local area was a pleasure to ramble around - with our dog Teddy who felt at home straight away. Friendly and helpful owners. Two local pubs aere excellent as well - always a bonus. We were sad to be leaving - but hopefully we will be back - thankyou.

Relaxing dog friendly farm country cottage

Clean fresh cottage with all expected amenities. Warm welcome from the owners and thankyou for the apples and pears from the orchard and apple juice on arrival. Two local dog friendly pubs within walking distance (The Mill/The Cross Keys) with very friendly staff and delicious food. Visited Stone Henge and Bath both worth a visit. We would happily visit again! Thankyou.

Cottage

The cottage was comfortable, but needs some updating ,the toaster did not spring the toast up hence it burnt , not good for safety perpose , and the front door needs mending not safe , a little bit of tidying up outside would not go a miss
Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 8 October 2022
Dear Peter Thank you for your review although I found it disappointing. When I met and welcomed you, you both seemed very happy with the cottage and did not mention any of the things you have mentioned in your review. I will check the toaster but it was working for the last guests so I am not sure why you were having problems. I admit the door does stick a little as it is a wood door and swells a little when it is wet. It is certainly not a safety issue though. The cottage is cosy and homely. The decor is not meant to be blingy and ultra modern as it is a rural barn conversion. I disagree that it needs updating and all our previous guests seem to love the cottage as it is. The cottage is sited on a farm and the surrounding area, although very pretty and well maintained is not manicured and pristine. We benefit from an amazing amount of bird life and wildlife which our caravan and cottage guests love to observe. You wrote nice comments in our Visitors book and despite the comments in the review it sounds like you had a lovely stay. With best wishes. Sarah and Mike

Lovely location and great for a quite relaxing get away

The property was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Just 5 mins walk to the local pub which was outstanding and catered for my partners celiac condition beyond our expectations but they were not serving food on Mondays and full on Tuesday, so I advise booking. I would have given this property 5 stars if it had not been for the poor internet conversation (which the owners tried to sort as best they could) and the fact the 2nd pub, the mill, placed in the description was closed which meant having to get in the car for 2 nights for an evening meal during our stay. Small issues so would definitely recommend the property if you want a quite and peaceful time away.

Hi Kim I was sorry to see that you only gave us 4 stars as We did sort out the internet for you during your stay using an adaptor which I think worked quite well. However, I am pleased to say the internet is back to working normally after its little blip and no problems since. The other good news is that The Mill pub is due to open again in August so we will have two pubs to be able to walk to again. Hopefully we will see you again and earn those 5 stars as normally the internet is problem free. Many thanks and best wishes. Mike and Sarah

A little gem

What a wonderful place to stay. I was working in Bath at the beautiful Theatre Royal 8 shows a week & Barn Cottage was a most peaceful & comfortable retreat. I slept so well there. So much care has been taken to see that everything is provided. I love to cook as much as I can for myself whilst on tour and the kitchen has it all. The weather even allowed for coffee on the enchanting country patio some mornings which the living room opens on to. Imagine a couple would be using & enjoying the area constantly in warmer months. The cottage is in the most beautiful rural setting but a mere 20 minute drive into Bath - or less depending on the time. It’s a great comfy base & location for exploring Bath (which is surprisingly busy!) & further afield. Michael & Sarah couldn’t have been more welcoming - staying up later than usual I suspect to ensure I found my way there in the dark the first night. I would love to return for a holiday break with my partner & explore the area more. A special place.

PERFECT COUNTRY HOME

The wonderful property is on the edge of the village of Rode - and a VERY short walk to the middle of the village with its Pub and Post Office / small store. It is on a small farm, is impeccably clean, and has a well appointed kitchen offering everything a guest would need to prepare and serve a meal. The combination washer/dryer allowed us to do a couple loads of laundry during the middle of our two week vacation in England. Additionally, there is a very nice patio that, if the weather was just a bit warmer, could have kept us "home" rather than exploring the beautiful countryside. Communication with Sarah was easy and she provided easy details for check-in and out as well as rules if pets are traveling with you. Further, she provides a list of sites to visit in the region. Upon check-in we a very nice bottle of organic cider, from the farm(!) waiting for us on the counter - a very nice touch. I truly cannot think of a negative thing to say about this perfect property for two. Finally, the central location provided easy access to Castle Combe, Laycock, Bath, Wells, Stonehenge, Salisbury and other villages in the area. If I return to this area, I will absolutely stay here again.

In de keuken was alles wat je nodig kan hebben aanwezig het is allemaal wel klein en als je groot en lang bent is het bed ook te klein. Voor de rest was alles netjes maar het is beslist geen cottage waar je gezellig kan zitten en er is weinig of niets in de buurt buiten The Old Mill die schrikbarend duur isDe eigenaars zijn vriendelijk en als welkom stond er een fles eigengemaakte appelsap die erg lekker was

Hello It was good to meet you and your partner. It was a disappointing review you gave us even though you did appear to like the cottage and certainly did not say anything to us. I think you were probably just guests in the wrong environment and being from abroad maybe not able to make the most of what is actually a beautiful part of the world. It is quite rural here with National Trust properties to visit, country side walks and local market towns to browse around in as well of course visiting the beautiful City of Bath. However, I think you were after the bright lights of a big city which we are not. The village is old and pretty and though people generally love it I guess it is not for guests seeking a city experience. A shame but never mind. With best wishes. Sarah and Mike
