Luxurious, contemporary feel barn conversion set off a quiet country lane in beautiful rural countryside on our arable farm. Private countryside views over our farm from inside and use of private outdoor space along with access to our orchard and grass field for games. Escape from it all & unwind yet be close to Bath, Longleat, Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Bradford on Avon, ‘cool’ Frome & Stourhead and so much more!
The space
Orchard Barn is a recently converted, red brick & stone barn with private parking directly outside.
The barn sleeps five: there are two large bedrooms with comfy zip and link super king beds - so spacious & comfortable and made up with luxurious white bed linens; these comfy beds can be made up as twins or spacious super kings. There is also a pull out small single bed in one of the rooms. Each bedroom has it's own beautiful ensuite bathroom; one with a large walk in shower and the other with a large double ended bath with shower attachment and bath caddy to hold your wine while you soak!
The barn has a large social open plan living/dining/kitchen area with fully fitted kitchen with granite works surfaces & Bosch appliances, beautiful log burner for cosy nights in, large 'smart' TV and large sliding picture doors to your garden and countryside beyond. Beautifully tiled floors, vaulted ceilings with original beams are throughout as is the underfloor heating and wifi.
Outside in the private garden area there is a table where you can sit, eat & drink plus a couple of comfortable occasional chairs, a Weber charcoal BBQ & implements in summer and a firepit. Beyond you are welcome to make use of a picnic table and further bench in the orchard - you choose whether you want shade or sunshine. You may also use the grass field which provides plenty of space for kids & adults to run & play games.
The setting is very peaceful and other than our house (which does not overlook you) & farm buildings you are surrounded by fields, tucked away where you can completely relax and unwind. There are no busy A roads, with their associated noise, near us that are not shown in photos like so many places - just a quiet single carriageway country lane that you access us by. Depending on the time of day sit quietly in the garden and watch & listen for birds swooping, deer, owls calling, squirrels, pheasants, moorhens and many more. From our field the stars at night, away from light pollution of any buildings, are just beautiful and over the years we have watched (at certain times of year) shooting stars lying on a rug in the middle of it!
We are ideally located between Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury and Stourhead to explore the surrounding area with Longleat right on our doorstep. If looking for a more relaxing holiday there are lots of country walks from the door. We are also in a great location for both road cycling and mountain biking and can safely store bikes for you if you request and help you with route planning and ideas for cafe or pub stops!
Guest access
The barn is our guest annexe for family & friends but is fully self contained and not overlooked by our house.
Orchard Barn and it's garden are for you to enjoy. You are also welcome to use the orchard and grass field beyond. We are usually able to store bikes if you wish to bring them - please do check in advance.
Other things to note
We are on a working arable farm and want to ensure that guests are aware of this as it does mean at certain times of the year, reflecting the farming season, that there may be tractors & machinery moving through the farm yard. Most people see this as part of the attraction of staying on a working farm.
We do not accept Pets and are also a Non-Smoking Property, in order to maintain an comfortable environment for guests with Allergies.
Orchard Barn is not a party venue and only confirmed guests may stay. We hope that you enjoy our extensive outside space and just ask that noise is kept to a minimum after 11pm.
