Nestled at the foot of the picturesque Mendip Hills and close to the beautiful North Somerset coast, this delightful barn offers a serene countryside escape within 5 acres of private grounds. This detached, first-floor converted barn enjoys uninterrupted views across rolling fields, cider orchards, paddocks and a large duck pond, creating the perfect setting to unwind and reconnect with nature. Arrive via a long private driveway and enjoy true peace and quiet, with no traffic noise or light pollution—an environment that attracts abundant wildlife. Look out for deer, foxes, badgers, Barn Owls and woodpeckers during your stay. Just a mile away, the friendly village of Bleadon offers two pubs, restaurants, a post office, a well-stocked country store, butcher and a charming café. Sandy beaches at Weston-super-Mare and the quieter Uphill Sands are within a 5 mile drive. With walking and cycling on the doorstep, a village golf course, and attractions like Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Wells, Glastonbury and Bath all within 30 miles, this is the ideal base for adventure.

This immaculate countryside retreat has been beautifully refurbished to a high standard, combining soft, light-coloured interiors with warm wooden accents for an elegant and calming feel. Step inside at ground level to a welcoming entrance space—perfect for kicking off muddy boots after scenic walks through the Mendip Hills. A short flight of stairs leads to the heart of the home: a bright and airy open-plan living area with a vaulted ceiling and characterful wooden beams. It’s a space designed for relaxing—curl up on the plush sofa with a good book, settle in for a cosy movie night on the Smart TV, or perch at the breakfast bar with a glass of something chilled while dinner sizzles away. The stylish, well-equipped kitchen makes holiday cooking effortless, and the intimate dining table for two invites unhurried breakfasts and romantic evening meals. The spacious bedroom offers a luxurious king-size bed dressed in soft, high-quality linens—promising peaceful nights with only the sounds of local wildlife for company. A sleek, contemporary en-suite shower room completes this serene hideaway.

On sunny days, step outside and enjoy the charming shared outdoor space: a grassy area with picnic tables set beside a large duck pond, with views stretching across cider orchards, the rolling Mendip Hills, and paddocks where miniature Shetland ponies wander. It’s an idyllic spot for a slow morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun sets over this tranquil rural landscape. Private parking for two cars adds extra convenience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Orchard Barn. The setting is beautiful right next to the pond. We enjoyed the ducks coming up to the door. The location is very peaceful and relaxing. The barn is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was spotlessly clean, the bed was super comfy and everything about it was great!

Warmly welcomed by the owner on arrival, the barn 'cottage' waswarm and cosy, just perfect for us. The views from main room's windows - countryside and the owners pond; no otters from the previous week seen, but interesting to look out on. Bleadon village shop and cafe was very worth visiting, busy and popular with locals and visitors. Easy places Read moreto visit nearby with walks along the coast and inland, particularly enjoying Axebridge, Cheddar Reservioir and using NT cards for Tyntesfield. Hide

Orchard Barn is a little haven! It is pristinely kept and has everything you could need for a relaxing break. The very welcoming owners are nearby if needed but the barn is detached from other properties and has it's own lake and garden so feels private. It has lovely views across the lake and onto the hills behind. It's in a great location for expRead moreloring the local Somerset coastline or walking in the hills and gorges. I had a very restorative week there and would love to return. Hide
