Part of the idyllic Bleets Farm Private Estate, Barn Cottage offers the perfect countryside stay. Remote enough for quiet walks, but still only a few miles from the award-winning town, Frome. Also Longleat, Bath, Wells & Glastonbury are a short drive from Barn Cottage. This makes an ideal hub for an action packed break. If time to unwind is just what you need, you can kick back and relax in the countryside.
The space
Barn Cottage is a brand-new holiday cottage situated on the Bleets Farm Estate. Adjacent to our barn, the cottage is nestled within our working yard with a private walled courtyard garden and picnic seating area, you'll be sure to have the perfect stay.
Inside, on the ground floor, you have the open-plan lounge/kitchen and dining area which is spacious and modern with a brand-new fitted kitchen. There is also a downstairs toilet. Upstairs on the landing, there are two small single bunk beds (2ft 6"); perfect for the children with a privacy curtain and sockets for both bunks... so they can create their own den! The master bedroom, with a luxurious double bed is off of the opposite side of the landing. Finally, there is a family bathroom with shower over bath and toilet.
If you would like a disposal BBQ, we keep some onsite at a small charge.
Swimming pool must be pre booked and is charged at an hourly rate.
Guest access
Upon arrival, there is a short drive into the yard area where the stables will be immediately on your left hand side. Just a few meters from the last stable there are two dark brown wooden garden gates, the right hand gate is the entrance to Barn Cottage. There are two free private car parking spaces right outside the garden gate and a few meters of patio walkway right to the front door of the cottage (the left hand side of the bi-fold doors).
There are stairs to access the bedrooms and family bathroom. The small single bunk beds (2ft 6") on the landing have been designed for children and there is slightly restricted headroom.
We are down a quiet country lane that goes on for miles and miles, with no through-traffic, so bike rides, long walks or jogs are plentiful.
There are great transport links in Frome, including busses, trains, taxis and the like which is only 2.7 miles from us. Walking to the town centre is possible, but is not straight forward so we would recommend either driving, cycling or using local taxi services. Once you get to Frome itself, everything is within walking distance. Frome boasts being named the most stylish town in the UK, along with a number of other awards, and has an amazing array of independent restaurants, wine bars and pubs offering a huge variation of dining experiences. There are a variety of local takeaways (some offering a delivery service) if you’d prefer a quiet night in to ‘Netflix and Chill’.
