Lovely house, extremely well-equipped, and with the most genial hosts you could wish for.We had two weeks at Little Owl Barn in July/August 25, and found it to be really comfortable, with everything you could need (in fact the most amount of kitchen equipment of any house we've rented), in a lovely setting. Very conveniently close to Wellington and Taunton, whilst still completely in the countryside.The hosts are fantastic: really friendly and approachable.We would totally recommend this place for a relaxing holiday in comfort.

Gorgeous Views and Tranquility

The property is just as described, spacious and quiet and beautiful. Views from the lounge are breathtaking and as it's summer we spent a good deal of time with the patio doors open and the dog coming in and out. The yard is extremely well fenced (our beagle always checks). The house was well-stocked, clean, and easy. We had ZERO issues or nitpicks. The wifi was excellent, the dishes clean and plentiful, the appliances all worked (including an excellent washer/dryer), even the toilet paper was good quality. Philip was truly helpful and responded quickly when I had a query about getting a delivery. You should also know the location is superb, too superb really as there are so many interesting things to do within a 90 minute drive area that you will not possibly be able to do them all unless perhaps you stay for a month or more. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it. Thank you to our hosts for such a magnificent trip.

Beautiful barn that lived up to expectations.

Really super property with great facilities and excellent for dogs. We stayed over Christmas and had everything we needed in the kitchen for a full Christmas lunch! The barn is very comfortable cosy and warm the Christmas tree was a great touch along with the doggy gift! Our hosts were fantastic and answered all our pre visit questions very quickly and the recommendations for eating out were very good. We’d love to return when the weather is nicer to explore more.

VERY IMPRESSED

We have just returned from a very enjoyable stay at little owl barn. We were very impressed by the barn very clean and well equipped, we would definitely like to return. Our 3 dogs also enjoyed racing round the paddock with no chance of escape. Little Owl barn is in a good location for exploring Devon and Somerset.

Highly recommended

We very much enjoyed our stay here at Little Owl Barn, and even got a good look at two real little owls in a tree we could see from the window. The property is smart and well presented, the owners were very friendly and helpful, the view and location is great, the local pub was lovely, Wellington is near enough to be convenient but the property is remote enough to be a quiet haven. I would gladly visit again, or recommend this to our friends and relatives. It is in a good location for visiting all of Somerset and Devon.

Wonderful holiday home with very friendly and helpful landlords.

A very beautiful house in a quiet location. Little owl barn was super clean and nicely decorated. A lot of space in the house and a huge garden. Also ideal for dog owners. The landlords Sarah and Philip were very friendly and helpful. An accommodation that we can recommend without any restriction. Thank you for everything! Annette & Klaus with Jannes & Henrik

Lovely holiday home with great garden for dogs & kids to play in

We were 2 adults, 3 kids & puppy staying in this lovely upside down barn. We had plenty of space in the house for all of us & an amazing enclosed space outside. The house was very well equipped with everything you needed. We were very lucky with the weather, even though it was February so all of us got to play in the garden outside. Philip the owner was very helpful. We walked 15 mins to the local pub where the food was very nice. The kids enjoyed going to Vivary high adventure ropes & also trampolining at Flip Out both of which were just a short drive away. We have already booked our next stay here.

Lovely Stay at Little Owl Barn

This spacious converted barn was perfect for our stay. Larger than it looks in the photos. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of plates, glasses and cutlery. The hosts provided tea, milk and coffee supplies upon approval which was appreciated before going to a bigger shop at the nearby grocery store. There was also salt and pepper. Plenty of soap and detergent too. The location is in a peaceful setting with lovely views. In additional to the large tv in the living room which includes a dvd player, there were smaller TVs in the bedrooms. We also enjoyed the board games. Hosts were helpful. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

5 Star accommodation and perfect for a holiday with your canine companions!

First impressions are everything and what a first impression you get when you walk in to Little Owl Barn - it truly has the "wow" factor! On the ground floor are the two spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and clean, fully fitted bathrooms. Upstairs to the open plan living area and kitchen with huge double doors leading out to the large fully enclosed garden! The whole place is spotless and very well maintained. We took our two Chocolate Labradors with us - one is affectionately Nick-named Houdini - even he couldn't find a way out of the enormous garden! The owner, Philip, couldn't have been more helpful and eager to share his local knowledge which made our visit easier to plan (especially a cheeky Chinese from the New Canton Restaurant, yum)! All in all, an amazing property with breath taking views for a relaxing and peaceful holiday.

Spacious, clean barn conversion with amazing views over Somerset countryside.

The upside down barn was extremely clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed. The views from the rear were wonderful with the Wellington Monument in full sight. The barn was very spacious and it was great to have two bathrooms. Despite it being advertised as 'dog friendly' there was absolutely no evidence of dog hair or smell which was wonderful. It has an excellent location, being rural and quiet but near enough to local amenities and attractions. We would recommend a trip on the West Somerset Railway, a walk up to the Wellington Monument and a trip to the coast; Watchet and Blue Anchor Bay are very picturesque. We had an enjoyable meal at the World's End pub. The local owl made an appearance on the fence post as we arrived but was not seen again, unfortunately. Philip was very helpful and friendly. Thank you for a lovely stay; we only wish it could have been longer.

Perfect holiday house!

We found the Little Owl Barn to be the perfect place for the four of us to spend time in Somerset. The house is very well furnished and we found it to be very clean when we arrived. There were plenty of good instructions about using the features nd amenities of the house, such as washing machines and kitchen appliances. Everything was in great working order. The locale is lovely and very quiet (except for the occasional cow sounding off) and we found it quite peaceful. The vista is super, and we quickly felt as comfortable as we do on our own homes. Getting to the various points in Somerset that we visited was easy from the Little Owl Barn. We met Philip the landlord, who is exceptionally nice and willing to offer advice and help when asked. All in all, our stay couldn't have been better. Thanks for a wonderful experience. Bruce, Carol, George, and Joanne
