  • "Super cottage."

    Ideal for booking with the cottage opposite. Very comfy and great to stay somewhere that has ample cooking equipment. Lovely walks from the door. Thank you so much for sharing your barns.

    Spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable and great communication. We only booked the day before and it was perfect.

    Barn had everything we could need including decorated for Christmas. We had an amazing stay. Thank you Carol and Glen

  • "We had a very enjoyable week at Tom’s Barn."

    It was very clean and comfortable, it was decorated for Christmas which made it nice and cosy. We didn’t need to use the log burner as we were warm enough without it. It was a great base for exploring the area, the single track roads near the property were a little scary at times but we got used to them and didn’t really come across much traffic, once through the village you were on main roads anyway. The only thing I could suggest was maybe a dish drainer or drying mat as if you wanted to just hand wash a couple of things there was no where to put them, everything else was provided including cleaning products and hand wash etc. Thanks very much for a great week.

  • "We had a lovely holiday and Carol and Glen were very accommodating."

    The property is comfortable and convenient with everything on the ground floor. It's worth clarifying there's no DVD or Blu-ray player, although the TV's are smart and it's possible to log into Netflix etc on there. Being an active site it's not always quiet in the evenings but we were never bothered or disturbed by it.

    All the little touches of the flowers and the scones and the fact there was toilet roll and hand soap on arrival! Whenever we needed anything you were straight in to help. The barn is beautiful and we were very comfortable and very sad to go home!

  • "A beautiful home for a week, with everything we needed."

    Surpassed expectations. I only booked it because hubby wanted to go to the Fleet Air Arm museum and I wanted to spoil him for our 30th wedding anniversary. We didn’t have the best weather, but went cycling using parts of the south Somerset cycleway and found good cafes to stop at. Good trip to Lulworth Cove and had a fab rest day sitting out the pouring rain doing the kitten jigsaw, drinking tea and watching telly (and even the Fleet Air Arm museum wasn’t too bad!)

    This means that it was difficult to sit outside in the garden.

  • "Tom’s Barn is everything you would want in a holiday home - indeed - in a home."

    Could have moved in to be really honest. Spotlessly clean, everything required for your holiday. Peaceful surroundings and conveniently located. We visited Sherborne, Shaftsbury and Glastonbury during our four day break - all beautiful. The barn had a woodburner but we didn’t need it due to the excellent heating system - even though it was cold outside. Our very old dog Tom was catered for too. Welcome pack for him and for us. Superb!!

  • "We were greeted by freshly baked scones and a welcome pack for our dog - lovely touches."

    The cottage was absolutely immaculate and contained everything we needed for a very restful week. The location was lovely and peaceful with views over the open countryside. We would thoroughly recommend Jack's cottage and would definitely return if in the area again.

  • "The barn was lovely with everything you could need and more for a stay."

    On our arrival we found freshly made scones, jam and clotted cream along with some milk. A basket of chocolate, teas and cereal. As it was at Christmas time it was nicely decorated with a tree and even Christmas Crackers on the table. We spoke with the owner a couple of times who was welcoming and very helpful. Plenty of information was left in the barn. We would certainly book again.

  • "Just returned from spending a week at Tom's Barn."

    Everything was just perfect, from the scones, jam & clotted cream to welcome us & of course the doggie welcome pack. Lovely rural location, but handy for some lovely days out - Wells, Jurassic coast, Cheddar, Glastonbury & more. Tom's Barn has everything - warm & cosy, very comfy bed, excellent large bathroom & the range a real treat to use. Only regret it wasn't cold enough to light the log burner!!!

  • "If you are looking at this place and thinking do I then I would say book it."

    Went there for a week with my new partner and it was the break I needed but didn't know it. Looks pretty much as it does in the pictures and I hope it stays like this as we had a lovely time. Main bed was comfortable, blind made the room as dark as it could be, very little noise as you are only in a small cluster of properties. They've done their best to think of everything that you might need and with the range we enjoyed cooking even though on holiday and didn't plan to. Scones, were very welcome after the long journey and I even managed to save some of the home made jam for my toast in the morning, delicious. Thanks again Carol and Glen

    It had everything we needed plus the homemade scones - always a winner! The broadband for TV was rather slow but hopefully the new fibre will help that. Besides, it's time to switch off more whilst on holiday!

  • "We would highly recommend staying at Tom's Barn, a perfect place to stay."

    We had a lovely welcome from Carol & Glen, they told us about the property & left scones & a treat bag for our dog - a really nice touch. So much space for a family of four, beautifully decorated & furnished & lovely to have parking spaces for two cars. In a really peaceful location but close enough to visit many lovely places that both Somerset & Dorset have to offer.

  • "Very well equipped and furnished converted barn."

    Gorgeous home made scones and jam provided by Carol for us and even the dog had a treat bag. Enclosed garden ideal for dog and also a field for her to run around. Only recommendation I would make was to fence the side of the field which runs down to the road (although there is a hedge this is below the field level). Definitely recommend Tom's Barn and would return

    Spotless, warm, spacious and comfortable throughout with plenty of hot water and kitchen utensils. Karen was warm and welcoming and even left us some home made scones, cream and jam and a welcome pack for our dog, on our arrival. We slept like logs in the comfy beds as it was so peaceful. I would give 10/10 however the wi fi was a bit patchy and we could only watch Netflix in the double bedroom which was a bit of a shame. Other than that it was perfect and would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet break in the Somerset countryside.

    It is conveniently located yet in a peaceful rural location and the perfect base from which to explore Somerset. There were a number of interesting places to visit within easy reach (National Trust etc), a very nice "farm shop" / bistro close by and the coast is not too far away either. The well equipped accommodation was very comfortable and the thoughtful welcome pack was much appreciated too. The private garden area can be a real suntrap on fine days and all of these things combined helped make this an enjoyable and relaxing stay.
