What our customers say about their holidays

  My family and I stayed at the Milking Barn for a week at the beginning of August, after months of not leaving the home due to lockdown it was just what we needed.

  The accommodation is spotless, has everything you need for a perfect staycation and the host Ashley couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome and comfortable and if ever we needed anything he would provide it straight away. There are only 2 other holiday lets onsite, so it is quiet and very peaceful- we actually only ever saw Ashley coming and going about his day. On the last day be bought some steak from his farm and had a BBQ, it was delicious! Ashley also provided us with a large basket of wood and every night we would light a fire and play card games. Placed on a working farm, there are plenty of fields and walks within the area to explore. The nearest supermarkets are a 5 minute drive in each direction and the High St and local town centre with shops & restaurants are also very close by, there are also Cider and a Buffalo farm a short drive away where you can purchase local produce. There are many beaches and sightseeing spots all within a 45 minute drive. We visited, The Tor at Glastonbury, The Cheddar Gorge and went shopping at Clark’s village. We also went to West Bay, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Weymouth Bay, Portland Bill as well as Durdle Door and Ludworth Cove beaches where the boys were able to hire kayaks, paddle boards and pedalos. Again these were all with 45 minutes drive from the accommodation. I can’t recommend the Milking barn enough, the location is perfect to feel you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city but it is close enough to seek adventure! Thank you Ashley!

  The Stables was a great location for our young family.

  Our sons loved being able to run outdoors and see all the farm animals. Tom and Rose were most welcoming and helpful. They have a great set up and The Stables is a very comfortable and well equipped place. We cooked and ate at The Stables each day and there was everything needed in the kitchen to facilitate that. The living/dining room area was light and spacious. The bathroom was large and had a separate bath and shower. The bedrooms were large and storage space for clothes generous. The beds were comfortable and very clean. We were very comfortable in the setting overall as it had everything we needed. Games, books and dvds were an added bonus. It was lovely to have fresh eggs and milk in the kitchen upon arrival and the milkman delivery facility available during our stay. We were secluded enough to not hear any noise other than the farm animals which we loved. We really relaxed and enjoyed family time during the week; cycling in the area and visiting local areas and even did a spot of shopping at Clark's Village outlet which is not far. There are local farms down the road that have strawberries, eggs, bread and cider available on 'honesty box' system. This place is highly recommended for all the right reasons.

  Overall we had a lovely stay.

  We were a little surprised when we we arrived as the photos looked like the property was detached. Sadly, the hot tub was not working properly, only 1 jet was working which was incredibly powerful and actually bruised my friend's back. I think someone else had mentioned this on a previous review. It was one of the main reasons why we booked Swandown. Downstairs was a little tired, flaky paint on ceilings etc in the bathrooms and in one bathroom the water in the bath didn't drain away so that wasn't very nice. There was a couple of dirty plates and the grill pan needed to be washed before we used it. The TV sound quality wasn't great. Other than that, we had a lovely time. It is super comfortable, lovely location, great views, very helpful staff. Lovely little honesty shops and great range of DVDs and games. We used the swimming pool on site and the facilities at the hotel - which were very tired.

  As a group of four friends we really enjoyed our stay in your lodge.

  We all slept well and found the beds very comfortable. The hot tub was perfect, easy to use and extremely clean. We were grateful to find plenty of towels and extra ones for use around the hot tub. The kitchen was very well equipped and we enjoyed cooking in it and sitting at the large dining table with a lovely view from the large windows. Everything thing was bright and fresh and the lodge was warm and inviting on our autumn break. The receptionist was extremely helpful with our queries and handy to know we could call him if we had questions. We would have liked to have a little more washing up liquid rather than two squeezes and more than one loo roll per bathroom provided or a note on the booking to bring some as we didn’t think about that and that would have made our stay pretty perfect. Thank you we will definitely book again.

  We had a lovely week at The Milking Barn.

  The property was clean and well equipped, with a spacious and airy living/dining space, and the decking area is private and relaxing. We cooked a lot and found the kitchen very user friendly. The only slight negative about the barn, for us, was that the master bedroom is a 4'6" double and therefore on the small side for two adults in the heatwave conditions, so my husband and I had the twin room, which whilst adequate, is very small and has no storage. However it didn't spoil our holiday in any way. Although we didn't see the owners they were very quick to respond by text to my enquiries and very helpful. The barn is in a very convenient spot close to Yeovil and the main routes into Dorset, yet in a pleasant and quiet location. Friendly farm cats too! All in all we really enjoyed the stay.
