A little further afield, is the historic spa town of Bath and the cathedral city of Salisbury. Also the Dorset Jurassic Coast is just a short drive away.

The perfectly equipped kitchen has an electric Range ovens and hobs, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher , and is a great space for cooking lazy breakfasts or old family favourites. There is also a utility/boot room with a washing machine, useful when returning from outdoor activities and for drying coats, boots and dogs.

Lovely spacious barn, very comfortable and well equipped. Lovely comfy sofas, all recliners! Great size area for the dogs but have recommended they put wire on the gates as our dogs were small and could fit through the gaps. Had an issue with petrol/oil smell from boiler room which meant we couldnt use the utility room, but hopefully that will get Read moreresolved. Would definitely recommend, as long as smell sorted!

Fantastic stay at Home Barn. The location was perfect for us and the directions were easy to follow to find it.

Fabulous property, clean, warm and with all the mod cons which makes for a very relaxing break in the peaceful Wiltshire countryside. Only negative and its a small one is the property description still references a pub in walking distance but this has long since closed so info needs refreshing.

Very comfortable, well equipped barn conversion just off the main Gillingham to Frome road. Whilst on a working farm the property points away from the main working area so is generally quiet and you feel on your own. Owners very helpful and the biscuits, milk and eggs were appreciated. Plenty of places to visit nearby. We visited Stourhead, MontacuRead morete, Sherborne, Frome, Devizes and Clarks Village. Despite being quite close to home we expect to return again in the future.
