The house offers superior accommodation, from the spacious master bedroom, to the king sized room, and a slightly smaller double room for smaller members of the family.

Large living room with wood fore, kitchen and family rooms all open onto the garden.

With a massive family kitchen, and a large airy space with huge family dining table, Large dual aspect living room that opens onto a mature private garden with its mill stream. It is the perfect place to socialise, entertain and dine.

You can enjoy indoor or outdoor cooking, reading, yoga in the large two story atrium, knitting on a wonderful sofa, chilling in the garden, cozying up in front of the log fire or going on a beautiful adventure into the heart of Avalon.

Parts of the farm are quite old - the Mill & its stream are in the Doomsday book, there are old local stories that the flour for King Alfred's burnt cakes was milled in our Mill around 850AD.

After a significant investment during Autumn 2024, the entire site is now powered with solar power mounted on one of the larger outbuildings,

A delightful cottage in a beautiful location. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. We were blessed with lovely weather but evenings were chilly so the log burner and plentiful supply of logs were much appreciated.It was lovely to sit in the sun in the garden and listen to the birds although it would have been better if at least some pathways were cut through the very long grass. The local Budgens supermarket at the garage was excellent as was the Crossways Inn , both just a short walk away.

A beautiful riverside cottage as pretty in life as it is in the pictures. It is fabulously proportioned with a dining hall, kitchen, utility room, downstairs loo and lovely sitting room. There are 3 good sized bedrooms upstairs with an en-suite (no shower just a bath) and a family bathroom with a shower. The location is perfect for exploring the local areas including Glastonbury & Wells and walking the Syrens way. Our host was helpful & informative before we arrived and opened up the house for us before we arrived. I would thoroughly recommend the cottage.

The property was perfect for our stay. It was exactly what we were looking for. Very well equipped, clean, and most importantly for us quiet. Lots of space for our fur babies to run and a wonderful location for countryside walks and day trips to various places i.e. Wells and Glastonbury. We would highly recommend West Barn to anybody looking for a peaceful retreat or somewhere to meet up with friends/family.

Stunning, private and spacious cottage… the owner was amazingly helpful and the cottage surpassed our expectations… simply dreamy stay! The only thing we would change would be better quality bed linen and bedding but we understand that that would be expensive, not hypoallergenic - this is not stopping us from going back though and loved every moment of it! Truly relaxing stay in a wonderful location.

Our Holiday

This property was excellent, it provided everything we needed and more. Michael, our host, was very friendly and helpful. The area was beautiful and very quiet. Communication through Vrbo left a lot to be desired. We had problems accessing the app to find out details which was not the fault of our host Michael.

We are originally from England and now live in the USA. We booked this property to gather for a family Christmas as our family is in Somerset. This was a perfect house, I loved everything about it - it was big enough to host 16 people for dinner. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the area so quiet. Thank you Michael for being so helpful you were the perfect host

Great area but property needs some TLC

Cosy cottage? This is a 3 Bedroomed, large house with the owner living next door. It is very comfortable, especially the downstairs. Its in a lovely area for walks etc.- we took our bikes and had a lovely time seeing some small villages around and a great Pub,10 minutes walk away. The kitchen is very large and well equipped for all your needs, love the old range (which is for show only). Double Glazed through out with it seems wooden frames, they look really nice and suit the property. The large lounge has a massive log burner, we didn't use it but I bet that would keep you warm in the cold winters, didn't see much wood though but that maybe because its still Summer. It is the upstairs that lets this Cottage down, though. There are 2 good sized Bedrooms with a Bathroom, with a very powerful Shower. There is a massive Master Bedroom, with an Ensuite Bathroom (Bath only). The Mattress on the Bed in the Master Bedroom, needs replacing as the springs have seen better days - the other beds could do with updating too. and the Furniture looks old and tired. Because all the floors are wooden, they creak a lot, especially in the Master Room - perhaps by having some Rugs on the Floors, it would make it less noisy and more homely. The Garden was lovely with plenty of space, but again could do with some TLC. The Patio was covered in weeds and the Wooden Furniture, all needs replacing. Having said all this, we enjoyed our stay and it is very quiet in a lovely location.
