Property code: OC-BARTC

This cottage is situated on the owner’s farm, in a tranquil rural location between the Quantock Hills and Blackdown Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, both of which provide miles of enjoyable scenic walks. For many, a visit to the West Country would be incomplete without a day or two spent at the beach, and this property is ideally located to allow guests to enjoy beaches on both the Somerset coast to the north, and the Dorset coast to the south. Also within easy reach of the property are the towns of Taunton, Glastonbury, and Street.

The front door of this character cottage opens directly into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a charming space with a homely, cottagey feel. The lounge area is a relaxing space with a large feature fireplace which now houses the warming wood burner, which guests can enjoy from the inviting leather sofas. There is also a Smart TV, perfect for enjoying a film after a day of sightseeing. A dining table lies between the lounge and kitchen areas, next to which there are French windows opening onto the garden. At the far end of the room, the kitchen area offers an oven, hob, microwave, and fridge with ice compartment, whilst there is a separate shared laundry room with washing machines and a tumble dryer. The spacious bathroom upstairs offers the best of both worlds, with a roll-top bath, separate shower, and WC. Steep cottage-style stairs lead to the spacious king-size bedroom with apex ceiling and large wardrobe.

Outside, there is a private patio garden directly outside the property with seating and charcoal BBQ, which leads to an undercover area, which allows guests to enjoy alfresco drinks no matter the weather.

Perfect stay on a working farm. Hosts were generous with their time. Very peaceful, but close to several restaurants. Garden was perfect for our two dogs. The covered seating areas were welcome during a very hot week.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful quiet location, ideal for the coast and other local attractions. Big plus for us was the secure garden which is essential for our escape artist little dog. Bob and Val were very helpful when needed. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay at Barton cottage. We had a long journey and had were in Somerset for a funeral and our hosts Val and Bob made everything as easy for us as it could have been. There was even a fire lit and milk in the fridge so we arrived and instantly felt warm and homely. Not like the unloved empty shells you sometimes encounter whilst travelRead moreling. The outside space was lovely and the view was beautiful. We had a great stay and would highly recommend this place for anyone looking locally Hide

We enjoyed a restful stay in this lovely cottage. The garden was even dog proof for our adventurous cocker spaniel, which is quite an achievement. The owners were on hand to help if needed and welcomed us on arrival. It's a great location to explore the quantocks , Taunton and surrounding area.

Such a cozy comfortable cottage with everything we needed for our week away with our dog. The views from the well enclosed garden are spectacular. The owners were helpful when we needed help otherwise very discreetly in the back ground. We loved curling up in front of the log burner after a day in the Somerset countryside and beaches.
