Both bedrooms have their own bathroom, one of these being en suite, and there is plenty of room outside as the barn is set on a small private estate, with the additional attraction of some very nosey alpacas.

Primrose is approached via a secluded and stunning tree-lined private drive. Although the barn is tucked away in the beautiful and relaxing Somerset countryside, it is in fact, only two miles from the historic market town of Shepton Mallet, five miles from the beautiful medieval city of Wells and within ten minutes drive to Bath park and ride service. In addition, it is close to the Royal Bath and West Showground and is also conveniently located for the world-famous Glastonbury music festival. This really is a perfect location to visit everything that is on offer in the great area of the south west of England.

Lovely comfortable holiday home with very helpful owners. An excellent centre from which to experience many varied days out in Somerset, with the inspiring cathedral city of Wells and the safari park at Longleat both very close by, and excellent walks including straight from the house.

Beautiful, comfortable, cosy cottage on a peaceful farm. Our family of 4 had a lovely stay. It was a good base to explore the surrounding area and the girls enjoyed seeing the alpacas and horses on site.
