    The hosts Janet and Pete introduced themselves when we arrived and were very welcoming. The Barn was warm and cosy.The fridge was full of local produce eggs,milk and cheese and flowers on the table. The Barn contained EVERYTHING and more you could possibly require for your stay.It was spotlessly clean and decorated to a high spec. Beautiful outlook and a perfect base to visit Bristol,Clevedon ,Wells and both Blagdon Lake and Chew Valley. Yeo Valley HQ is nearby serving great food with an amazing view. We will certainly be back to stay and recommend to friends.

    La propriétaire est absolument charmante, il est assez rare de trouver un tel sens de l’hospitalité de nos jours. Merci Janet pour tout.
