Flax Barn

Beautiful location for a holiday. The cottage is very comfortable & the garden & summer house are perfect for relaxing.

They really need to provide an outdoor facility to clean dogs and boots

This is a delightful cottage in a lovely rural setting.

You will need a car, although the nearest place of interest, Barrington Court, is just a short cycle ride away, or even a walk if you're more energetic than we are.

It has nice high ceilings, so no worries about hitting your head if you're tall.

We had a lovely week here.

Lovely property on the edge of an idyllic village within striking distance of many attractions.

Lovely cottage if you are looking for a relaxing stay. The cleanliness of the cottage was very good and provided all amenities.

Beware of the traffic noise, not a peaceful position.

Flax Barn is full of character and interesting to stay in. It would be lovely to go back again.

Very well equipped and comfortable. The dedicated garden area was delightful- not many properties have their own little summer house to use!

Enjoyed our stay at this lovely barn. It was very clean and well equipped. Woodburner was an added bonus and there was an ample supply of logs. The village is beautiful, especially with all the Christmas lights. We would definitely consider booking again.

Well equipped and comfortable. Lovely countryside

We enjoyed our stay at Flax Barn it was very spacious and comfortable. We had a small dog with us and although the garden isn't directly outside the house there is an enclosed shared courtyard on the way to it but is only meters away so the dog was safe,although you must keep the dog on lead.The area is very pretty lots of walks in the vicinity and we hope to return.

Very quirky barn in lovely location, but not great for dog owners.

Lovely comfortable cottage with plenty of room including a spacious bathroom. Pleasant situation.

Location is excellent. Having Barrington Court so close and The Barrington Boar pub is a massive plus. We appreciate that it’s an old building but some new and better lighting would make a huge difference.

Flax Barn is a good sized property in a great setting. Barrington is a beautiful village in a wonderful location which is ideal for exploring the many delights of this glorious area. It is ideally placed for exploring coast country and the many picturesque villages and towns in the area, as well as the numerous historic Houses and Gardens.

Very pleased with our stay at Flax Barn. The property was lovely and the location fab. We especially recommend a fossil hunting tour and the excellent Pip's Railway Carriage Cafe (only 10 mins drive away). Obviously this is a great location for National Trust properties but it is also great for walks.

Very well equipped cottage with everything you need for a break away. Beautiful location and interesting property.

Booking self-catering accommodation can be a real lottery regardless of the cost, and properties nearly always lack items that you need, especially in the kitchen area. This is why owners should stay for a week in the accommodation themselves - they will soon spot the deficiencies! Flax Barn was an exception - and didn't stint on quality either.

Stayed in October and booked straight away for February. Likely to be back soon, great location, comfortable and clean. What more could you want?

Great location, need more cottages in Somerset, so much to do & visit, north coast just under an hour so great option for a day trip.

Interesting and comfortable property in a beautiful village. Good location for cycling and visiting gardens (which we did.) Layout of the house was good and garden area lovely.

This was a wonderful short break - starting on a Thursday. We usually use another cottage letting agency, but they will only allow short breaks from a Friday so this was ideal. The cottage was amazing. The neighbour was friendly and the pub was exceptional. We are looking to come back for a week in June and again in November for a 3 day pre-Christmas break.
Nothing was over-exaggerated in your description of the property and it was only a short walk to the lovely Barrington Court.

I would say, that if this cottage was Mary Poppins - it would be Practically Perfect in Every Way. Thank you! I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone who wants a get-away-from-it-all break !

We always find that Classic Cottages are reliable and go that extra mile to make their cottages friendly and comfortable.

The living space is cosy, warm and very well lit - good compensation for the lack of enough windows. Wood burner a godsend for winter holidays.

Anyone looking to relax in quiet location in comfortable accommodation need look no further. Everything provided to make your stay a true home from home.

Barrington is an ideal location. Lovely village and welcoming people. Great walks. It was a close to perfect break!

Lovely location, well equipped cottage with comfortable beds

Found Classic Cottages by trawling on the internet and couldn't be more pleased. Ease of booking, information, communication excellent. Found the property with no problems and the overall quality of furniture, fittings, facilities, kitchen, crockery etc was excellent.

Beautiful barn, very comfortable and perfect for a weekend getaway

Excellent, comfortable cottage, well located for visiting Barrington Court. Good walks from the door through the picturesque village of Barrington and the surrounding countryside.

A lovely barn conversion, extremely comfortable beds and all the comforts of home. Flax Barn is situated in a lovely village with a beautiful National Trust Property and friendly local pub. A lovely base to explore the beautiful countryside, would definitely recommend Flax Barn.

The 5 min walk to excellent village pub, The Barrington Boar. Very friendly, helpful (one of our party gluten free vegetarian). Walks on doorstep ie 5 mile ramble through lanes, fields, meadows, to Barrow Hill. Barrington Court, walking distance. Montacute House def worth visit as excellent. Don't bother with pub in Shepton Beauchamp as really not worth it. Neighbours lovely. Recommended.

Fab few days at Flax Barn. Would highly recommend, especially to those with small children as safety has clearly been thought about and toys are provided. A great place to relax and a really pretty little cottage.

Great property, well equipped, in a very attractive quiet village. There is a very good pub for eating out as well as Barrington Court (National Trust) for lunch, both within walking distance. Barrington is well located for a number of National Trust properties, not just those mentioned, but also Stourhead. Would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!

We were looking for a family friendly quaint cottage in Somerset to show our American friends the sights nearby. Quaint is what they ordered and the village of Barrington was perfect. Armed with our wellies and waterproofs we had a lovely stay at Flax Barn. Our 10month old was delighted the the selection of toys and books in the house, and the travel cot and high chair were ready waiting for him when we arrived. Thoroughly recommend a stay here, it was very well equipped and a lovely place to take a break. The boys enjoyed the WiFi, we enjoyed our books by the fire!

This property is very comfortable and cosy. Facilities are good and well equipped. The surrounding areas have plenty to do and see. A very relaxing holiday.
