The Old Bull Stall

Clean warm and comfortable with everything you might need for a stay.

The hosts were lovely people and a great location for exploring Somerset and beyond. Great walks straight out of the door with some lovely pubs close by.

We had a lovely week at The Old Bull Stall.

The accomodation was clean and tidy, everything we needed was provided and the hosts/owners were on hand in the nearby farm house if we had any problems, which we didn't. There were lovely local walks around the area, and the property was just far enough from the main roads to provide a really peacefull experience, but not too far that it became a treck. The locals we encountered were all friendly and courteous, non more so that our hosts. We had never stayed in that particular area of Somerset before, but found it a great location with loads of museums and historical attractions within a short drive. The Old Bull Stall is situated on a working farm, so might not be rated as high by the superficial Instagram generation, but for us it was perfect. Would definately go back.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable.

Very friendly hosts and dogs. Good countryside walks and cycling, although very hilly as expected. Thank-you for a lovely week, weather was also very good.

Lovely property in a glorious location.

It was very welcoming to arrive to a tea tray set up, complete with homemade flapjack. Would certainly book again.

I am trying to book this Let again from 16th Sept 2015 for ten nights but your page will not allow me to select my title and therefore can not proceed through to payment.

of £985. I have phoned you company but as soon as I select payment the phone disengages. This is not the first time that your booking page has defaulted on me. I in future will have to use an alternative booking company. My time is too precious to spend several hours trying to book with Sykes as I have not got the time to waste. Surely you have a member of staff who can sort out this problem for me.

First impression was it was very old fashioned, but we settled in well and found the property comfortable and had all we needed, even a radio which was a bonus.

If you like peace and quiet and good access to a wide variety of footpaths, then this accommodation would be ideal, especially with your dog.

Lovely barn conversion, very clean & everything you could need!

Nice to find milk & eggs in the fridge & flowers on the table. Thank you!

The bull stable is lovingly furnished.

We were warmly welcomed and went on lovely trips around the area. It was very relaxing and quiet. Thanks for the nice time

The Old Bull Stall was idyllic, a fabulous place to stay.

Just what we wanted a peaceful retreat away from the busy World. As our first holiday in 4 years, due to family ill-health, this was just perfect. We were made to feel so welcome and an added bonus were the furry residents, for us two who are total animal people! Thank you so much to all for making this a long-awaited holiday to remember.

Warmest of welcomes, lovely little touches make it more independent and individual.

Comfortable and clean. Short walk up the quiet lane to the park, and very central to many places. We had wonderful days out everyday and felt not far from anything, even both north and south coastlines.

Really loved our stay.

Our hosts were friendly and made us feel very welcome.

We spent a week in this lovely cottage, Owners were very friendly and welcoming with plenty of local knowledge to share.

The cottage was clean and comfortable in an absolutely idyllic location, the nights were silent with no light pollution so if you like looking at the stars then this is an added bonus. The location is pretty much central to many of the main attractions that are on offer and would also offer a perfect base for cyclists and ramblers. Highly recommended and will be our first choice if we venture to the area again. Thankyou for making our holiday complete (harrison loved the sheep)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Bull Stall.

Thank you for making us so welcome. The flapjacks, eggs and milk were delicious too! The place is perfect and we had a very relaxing holiday.

Not only did we see a baby lamb being born which was amazing but feed a baby lamb also.

enjoyed our short stay thank you

For us, the cottage was ideal, in an ideal spot for what we wanted to do and had all the comfort and facilities that we needed for our summer stay.

The owners couldn’t have been more helpful. It was just lovely.

We have just had 6 nights at The Old Bull Stall Penselwood.

This is an excellent location to explore the surrounding countryside and close enough to take in Bath, Cheddar, Salisbury, Wells & Glastonbury. The property had everything we needed. Nice touch of coffee, tea, milk & flapjack to welcome us. Lovely friendly owners. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely little cottage.

Very friendly owners.

Lovely cottage beside a working farm run by a delightful couple who looked after us well.

5 minutes from the dual carriageway, pub and facilities. Strongly recommended.

A perfect setting for a country getaway.

The hosts were very helpful and friendly. The only slight downside is the comfort of the living area seating. As we had good weather this was not too much of an issue as we were out a lot of the time, but in the winter I would prefer something more comfortable to sit in front of the fire and read.

Very friendly owners, and dogs.

We had a very enjoyable week, tea & milk & flapjack nice welcome touch. also the flowers on the table, would stay again.

Clean, cosy cottage, with everything we needed.

Helpful owners, who left homemade flapjack, tea, coffee and milk for our arrival. Set in beautiful countryside. Would not hesitiate to recommend.

We have stayed in quite a few of your listed cottages especially ones on Farms, all have been of a very high standard regarding comfort and furnishings.

We think this cottage is in need of an upgrade the cooker although in good working order is very old, the furniture in the lounge is not comfortable to sit on of an evening after being out all day especially for an older person as backs are so low. The hot water went off the owners had forgotten to mention that we needed to press a button in order to reset it as it seems to have a problem. At all other properties we have stayed there has been a welcome starter pack, i.e. tea,coffee,milk even biscuits and treats I had rad the reviews before booking and several said it was nice to arrive and find a tray + eggs on arrival, so we did not take those things, however, we had a jug of milk in the fridge and some pieces of flapjack. I do think that a welcome pack is a good idea so you don't have to go out after a long journey to get the essentials. So we were a bit disappointed that we paid the same or similar price for this property but it was not up to the high standard we had come to expect from Sykes.

This was a lovely holiday in a nice location, good walks and places to visit within a few miles.

The farmer, wife and daughter made us welcome during our stay, even the little dog came out to greet us. We had wonderful weather so was able to explore Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire which were beautiful counties. We would certainly recommend the `Old Bull Stall ` for a quiet and peaceful holiday.

Cute cottage, well looked after and homely.

.......

Lovely little cottage down tiny country lanes but instructions for finding it were excellent.

Very clean and well furnished. Lovely places to walk . Supermarket Morrison's in Wincanton 5 minutes drive away..very central and so many attractions a reasonable drive away. Owners very nice helpful and friendly. We will definitely book again. If you want peace and quiet but with wi-fi and phone signal try this. We loved it.

The owners were very friendly and helpful very good location to do lots of walks and visit to cheddar and longleat and also a little drive to a dog friendly beach at Brean

Very kind hosts

Excellent location for visiting lots of attractions in Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset.

Dorset coast not very far away. Lots of places to visit within a fifty miles radius. Owners very helpful.

The Old Bull Stall is ideally placed for going all around the area.

In Somerset but close enough to visit Dorset and Devon, Wiltshire and Bristol Longleat Safari, Glastonbury, Stonehenge, Wookey hole cheddar gorge Clarks village, Haynes motor museum some of the sights to visit The hosts are warm and friendly which is a big plus.
