Ashey Barn

Lovely comfortable, well equipped and very peaceful cottage. Good base for travelling surrounding area. The owner was very friendly and gave us some good advice on places to visit. We would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage.

A perfect location, deep in the Somerset countryside, with just the birds, hares and rabbits for company. Tranquility, away from a busy world.

Off the beaten track, Ashey Barn is a very well equipped cottage with everything we needed. The kitchen area rather small when it came to producing the Christmas lunch for four people, but ok for just the two of us. Underfloor heating was excellent and made the place very comfortable and warm. Lighting was very good throughout. The use of the garage for storing bikes was very helpful. We would love to return in the summer when the days are longer and warmer....

A spacious, well equipped cottage in a peaceful rural location, but within easy reach of amenities and plenty of places to visit. Having a dog, the garden not being enclosed was a little inconvenient at times, but not a major issue. We were welcomed by the very helpful owner who was keen to give us any information we needed....

Our stay at Ashey Barn was ok and in general the property has some plus points. It's spacious, lovely shower room, kitchen area is good and sofa is comfortable.  The area is very peaceful and we were lucky to have been visited by 3 fawns who came through the garden. It was amazing to see.  However, there are also some areas which we think need addressing: The really bad odour of dogs in the kitchen/lounge area needs to be looked at. We don't have dogs but we are happy to stay in properties where dogs are allowed, we have never encountered dog smells in other properties so I'm unsure why the odour was so bad at Ashey Barn. The kitchen table is not great, maybe a table cloth would make it more appealing to use. The bedroom also had a really bad musty odour too. We had to buy room diffusers for the lounge and bedroom to try and reduce the smells. The lamp shades in the bedroom need cleaning as does the round bedside unit with the marble top. It is thick with ingrained dust.  The carpet behind the unit was also dusty, and had dead insects on it. Hand/bath towels were a mismatch of colours, very poor quality and looked really old and used. We decided to buy some as we didn't feel comfortable using the ones in the property. All in all I don't think this cottage is worthy of its 4 star rating which is a shame as it could be really lovely but has been let down in a few areas. ...
