  My family and I stayed at the Milking Barn for a week at the beginning of August, after months of not leaving the home due to lockdown it was just what we needed.

  The accommodation is spotless, has everything you need for a perfect staycation and the host Ashley couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome and comfortable and if ever we needed anything he would provide it straight away. There are only 2 other holiday lets onsite, so it is quiet and very peaceful- we actually only ever saw Ashley coming and going about his day. On the last day be bought some steak from his farm and had a BBQ, it was delicious! Ashley also provided us with a large basket of wood and every night we would light a fire and play card games. Placed on a working farm, there are plenty of fields and walks within the area to explore. The nearest supermarkets are a 5 minute drive in each direction and the High St and local town centre with shops & restaurants are also very close by, there are also Cider and a Buffalo farm a short drive away where you can purchase local produce. There are many beaches and sightseeing spots all within a 45 minute drive. We visited, The Tor at Glastonbury, The Cheddar Gorge and went shopping at Clark’s village. We also went to West Bay, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Weymouth Bay, Portland Bill as well as Durdle Door and Ludworth Cove beaches where the boys were able to hire kayaks, paddle boards and pedalos. Again these were all with 45 minutes drive from the accommodation. I can’t recommend the Milking barn enough, the location is perfect to feel you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city but it is close enough to seek adventure! Thank you Ashley!

  We had a lovely week at The Milking Barn.

  The property was clean and well equipped, with a spacious and airy living/dining space, and the decking area is private and relaxing. We cooked a lot and found the kitchen very user friendly. The only slight negative about the barn, for us, was that the master bedroom is a 4'6" double and therefore on the small side for two adults in the heatwave conditions, so my husband and I had the twin room, which whilst adequate, is very small and has no storage. However it didn't spoil our holiday in any way. Although we didn't see the owners they were very quick to respond by text to my enquiries and very helpful. The barn is in a very convenient spot close to Yeovil and the main routes into Dorset, yet in a pleasant and quiet location. Friendly farm cats too! All in all we really enjoyed the stay.

  Lovely property, very tastefully renovated.

  Great place for relaxing. Lovely log burner for cosy nights in. Very comfy pocket sprung beds. Lovely outlook from the deck with lots of wildlife to watch. Very helpfull hosts gave us eggs from their chickens. Parking right by front door. No steps and very accessible to anyone who has mobility issues. Only slight downside was the TV as it has no aerial so you need netfix/iPlayer etc accounts and can't just watch normal live tv, so, I think this should be made clear in the description. I guess not really an issue for younger people as they watch everything online now anyway. We just watched films in the evening. Will be recommending the Milking Barn to others and maybe return one day.

  Fantastic accommodation.

  Owners had thought of everything. The speck was very high for a self catering ‘cottage’. Owners were on sight but not intrusive, they were very helpful. Weather while we were there was almost constant rain but coming back to the Milking Barn was a treat, it was always warm and cosy from the underfloor heating and it had the added bonus of a wood burning stove, it was not really needed for the heat but was so relaxing. Great location for exploring. We loved it so much we had booked the Milking Barn again before our holiday had even ended. I could not recommend more highly. Certainly as someone who is used to self catering, I believe we have found a little ‘gem’ here.

  A barn conversion in a lovely peaceful location but still close to Yeovil.

  The country park is a short walk away over fields. We booked the Milking Barn for the two of us and found it very spacious and comfortable. Parking right by the door. Ashley was a great host, always available for queries but never intrusive. We sampled the farms eggs and beef, both excellent. The barn is nicely furnished, clean and comfortable with a pleasant outlook and private decking, patio and lawn area. Lots to do and see in the area close by, the Fleet air museum is well worth a visit. Numerous National Trust properties also. Highly recommend this property and would be happy to return. Thank you Ashley for making our stay relaxing.
