The open plan living/dining-area is separated from the kitchen-area by a low beam.
Hayloft is one of just four barn conversions in the historic National Trust village of Barrington.
The enclosed garden is at the front of the cottage - fully enclosed and catches plenty of sunshine.
The new kitchen balances perfectly with the traditional style of this lovely welcoming property.
This window opening is a feature of the original barn when it really was a hayloft. This listed building has this low sill so do keep closed when children are staying.
This is the master bedroom which has a new en suite shower-room.
There is a lovely farmhouse dining-table - plenty of seating if your party books Flax Barn too.
An overall view of Hayloft in its setting within the small group of barn conversions - just three others.
You will feel welcome as soon as you arrive at Hayloft. It is a real home-from-home.
This is the new en suite shower-room.
There is a wonderful family bathroom too, with a deep bath and a separate shower cubicle.
This is the single bedroom. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are on the ground floor.
The lawned top part of the garden is a good place to sit and enjoy a drink.
Mind your head on this feature beam between the kitchen and living-area.
A traditional barn conversion with all you will need for a lovely stay in this National Trust conservation village.
Have a wonderful day out on the North Somerset coast, from Minehead to Dunster and beyond. Castles, Steam Trains, cream teas and ice-cream will all be within easy reach.
Fancy a spot of bird-watching? Visit Ham Wall and the Somerset Levels nature reserves and see wonderful wildlife - and maybe Glastonbury Tor.
Cross the border into Dorset and spend a day in historic Lyme Regis. Visit the Cobb and the quaint harbour and hunt for fossils at low tide.
Visit the atmospheric 14th Century ruined castle at Nunney. It's owned by English Heritage and visitors are allowed entry via a wooden bridge.

We have stayed at Hayloft before which is why we returned. It is a great place to stay, well located for our needs (family in Ilminster, Martock, Somerton and Bristol) and is very comfortable with great bedding and a good range of products/equipment in the kitchen and bathrooms. We love the layout and the garden....

Great place, in a lovely village with an exceptional pub, The Barrington Boar, at its heart. Be sure to book. The Hayloft is lovely, with a fabulous combination of quirky and luxurious. The bed was very comfortable and the sofas very accommodating. A very well equipped kitchen and decent glassware made the stay very pleasant indeed. ...

One of the best holiday cottages we’ve ever stayed at. Very homely and nicely furnished. Great location, easy parking and could walk to a fabulous pub! Very nice enclosed garden for the woof too. Just one teeny thing…. And I only mention it as it’s an easy fix….. Please change the pillows for soft fluffy ones!...

The Hayloft is a lovely property, with a pretty garden which we enjoyed sitting in during the recent heatwave, and very comfortable indoor accommodation. It has a homely touch (we suspect it was a family home at some point in the past) and we appreciated its pleasant décor, good bathrooms and excellent kitchen (although would have liked a bit more grocery storage space and a little less "stuff" in the crockery, cutlery and utensil department)! Barrington is a great village to stay in - good central location for exploring the area and particularly convenient for us visiting family in Martock and Ilminster....
