Rebecca
It was extremely well equipped and lovely and clean. The village of Wookey is very pretty and the Ring O'Bells pub over the road is worth a visit or two. There were games and dvds to use on an evening and small court yard to sit out in when the sun was shining. The barn is well located a short drive into Wells and whilst there were visited the local area very easily. Would highly recommend and will consider going back in the future
