"The Old Goat Barn was perfect for my needs in every way - facilities, location, comfort, price, informality, etc."
Not "boutique" but more homely and comfortable as a result, especially with a dog. Being next door to the owners was very reassuring as it is quite isolated - but my privacy was very much respected but I felt I could go to them for anything.
A "welcome" box of biscuits was lovely - a bit of milk would have been great too, as I arrived later than planned with the bank holiday Friday afternoon traffic.

"The Old Goat Barn was set in an idyllic location in the countryside."
It was quiet and secluded with no road traffic and waking up to birds singing. It was warm and cosy with plenty of natural light in all rooms. There was a nice secure pebbled court yard for our dog and this would be ideal for sitting out enjoying your breakfast on a warm sunny morning. The country lanes around the Barn were quite with a few horse riders and it is a flat walk into Somerton, which is about 1 1/2 miles away.

"We have had a wonderful week at ‘The Old Goat Barn’!"
The property was clean, comfortable, well-equipped & suited our needs perfectly. The holiday property was well located with breathtaking views from all sides & a range of good walks in to the village of Somerton, etc along quiet country roads, from our doorstep!
We have had a great “get away from it all” holiday at ‘The Old Goat Barn’. Many thanks.

"This was our second stay at The Old Goat Barn for my partner and I along with Norman the dog."
We spent a pleasant week visiting such places as the Fleet Air Arm at Yeovilton and Burnham on Sea. The Cottage itself is cosy and comfy and benefits from its own small private garden. The beds are comfortable and the heating was more than adequate and easily adjusted. Our only gripe is that Wi-Fi connection kept dropping out making it difficult to book tickets online for the Fleet Air Arm, so ended up paying more. Also, though it's a minor niggle, there is no kitchen litter bin, but to be fair the main litter bin is just a few yards away in the car port. All in all this cottage was more than worth the money paid. A genuine bargain

"Lovely property to visit, so peaceful and easy to get out and about."
Everything provided and secure parking too. Myles and Sue so welcoming and the view from the barn looks out over their garden pond with resident ducks and geese. A brilliant place to rest away from the busy world. Absolute delight for us and our two small dogs to stay especially with a safe enclosed private garden.

"The Old Goat Barn is a very comfortable and cosy property located in a very peaceful location in the beautiful Somerset countryside."
Despite this, all the amenities you could need are nearby in the pretty town of Somerton! Susan greeted us upon our arrival and made us feel very welcome. She told us that she had put the heating on for us and indeed, when we got inside it was lovely and warm, just the job on a frosty November evening :). Inside, everything was spotlessly clean, and was well equipped. The barn is central to many places of interest in Somerset and Dorset and during our 5 night stay, we managed to visit the Christmas Market in Bridgwater, Bath, Weymouth, Glastonbury and Wells. On the day we were due to go home, I had the pleasure of speaking to Myles on the phone, he was a very sweet man, and told us we were more than welcome to come back. an offer that we will definitely take up! :)

"The Old Goat Barn was exactly as described-perfect for a couple wanting to explore the beautiful Somerset countryside."
It was cosy and comfortable. Plenty of hot water and powerful showers.Wi-fi was good-think it has been upgraded.Sue and Myles were warm and welcoming . Available should you need them but leave you to relax and enjoy yourself. Totally dog friendly which is important to us-fully enclosed patio garden and an enclosed paddock to let doggies run in. Tranquil location but close to local amenities. Somerton and Langport are lovely places with great cafes and shops. Good dog walk at Langport along River Parrett. Lynton further afield but worth a visit. All in all a fantastic holiday . Thank you Sue and Myles

"Helpful considerate owner lives next to property."
Very quiet location but easy drive to all facilities. Somerton is a small market town with plenty of pubs and cafes providing excellent food and drink. If you remember the 60s go to glastonbury for a hippy day out in the town centre, the local dress is a must see for its explosion of colour and the shops are very different to the norm.

"We had a great time at The Old Goat Barn."
Miles and Sue were very welcoming host, although due to the Covid19 situation we didn’t see much of them, but they were there if required.
The cottage itself was clean and tidy, and had everything you would need during your stay. It has a nice little courtyard to relax in come the evening, which is secure to let the dog out on its own. Great views of the duck pond, and fields beyond. A beautiful, and peaceful part of the country, that is handily placed to visit neighbouring counties. Plentiful choice of really nice pubs that do good food nearby.
Absolutely recommend, and will visit again.

There is a quiet lane opposite the cottage for walking your dog and also the prospect of seeing deer, we did on 4 occasions. Really good holiday which fulfilled our expectations, cheers Myles & Sue.

"I know we all rely on Wi-Fi more than we should but it stated clearly that you could get it."
Unfortunately the signal from the house to the Barn was not strong enough to get a reliable / steady connection. Having the dog with us we needed to check out places before we set off to know if we could take her in or not. it's not a big deal but it could of saved us some wasted journeys & time if we could of known before hand. Also looking up the menu / opening times for meals at the local pub and other places of interest would of been a great help.
Good central location so you could go off in any direction to find places to visit.
