Marions Barn is a lovely, spacious house with pleasant views out onto an orchard and a stream out the front where, if youre lucky you may see Kingfishers and Grey Wagtails. It is ideally situated for exploring the wonderful Avalon Marshes nature reserves and the Mendip Hills with Wells nearby.

A lovely comfortable barn with everything we needed for a weeks holiday in the country. We felt at home as soon as we entered the cottage and enjoyed the views across the orchard and watching the wildlife. Located in a small hamlet Marions barn is near Wells, Cheddar Gorge and Bath. Would thoroughly recommend.

Very pleased with this property spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and in beautiful surroundings. Set well away from the road it's agreeably quiet. There are great walks that start directly from the orchard at the back. Its particularly pleasant to sit out on the terrace with its views of the Mendip Hills beyond the orchard. The kitchen supportsRead more full-on cooking which is not always the case with holiday lets. The owner is friendly and helpful. We would certainly consider a return visit! Hide

The barn was a good size and reasonably fitted out but lacked attention to detail. Lounge would only accommodate 4 people in comfort but the barn would sleep 8. Bedrooms lacked storage space and suitable mirrors with 2 needing dressing tables. All needed electric sockets positioned next to the dressing area. Whilst there was dish washer tables therRead moree was no salt or rinse aid - we had to buy some. Would I go again - No! Hide

Re. Double House and Marions Barn - booked for large family get-together. Really beautiful houses - comfortable, spacious, attractively furnished and very well equipped. The grounds / gardens (and stream) are safe and fabulous for children (but bring outdoor games). The evening terrace with gorgeous views (and sun if youre lucky) is also a winner.
