"Comfortable and well equipped cottage with delightful views over a valley."
Well located to visit Bristol and the Chew Valley
-
"It is as advertised regarding everything but,and the but is aircraft noise."
It starts at 6am .19 aircraft take off between 6 and7 and as many again between 7 and 8. If you want to sleep after 6am forget it. The cottage is directly under the flight path and the aircraft are only 3-400 ft high. This is not 'associated noise' Perhaps it would be better if marketed at plane spotters.

"This was our second stay at Boundary Barn."
Everything is just perfect, that's why we returned. It's lovely after a day out to return to such a lovely place & be able to sit & look out at the lovely views, we did miss seeing any hot air balloons this time though , when we stayed in 2022 we saw them every day. The planes are nice to see coming & going , the noise was no problem to us at all. We would definitely consider staying here again if in the area

"Great location, lovely property with everything we needed for a comfy stay."
Beautiful views across the valley, we would highly recommend staying at Boundary Barn.
-
"Well appointed cottage with gorgeous cross valley views."
We have stayed in the area many times to visit family and Boundary Barn was a good as if not better than any. Only minor quibble is that the Carpenters' Arms which is 500 yards away has been shut for four years now, and it is misleading to imply that it is open. Also, I'm not sure that the Dundry Inn is still operating, so I think your listing needs to updated to reflect that (sadly - as when we went to the Dundry Inn last autumn it was very good).
Hello Simon Thankyou for your positive feedback and you enjoyed your stay… sadly the Carpenters Tavern closed in January 2024…. We’re hopeful that it will reopen soon… The Dundry in is 1 mile form Boundary Barn which is popular with the locals serving good food… hope to see you return… Erica & Andy Property Owner

"This a delightful property, very tastefully converted and well equipped."
The area is beautiful and within reach of Bath, Wells and Cheddar Gorge, as well as some ancient sites which were of particular interest to us. Nearby Chew Magna is an interesting village with some excellent places to eat. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage as a comfortable base for exploring a lovely region. Our thanks to the owners for facilitating a most enjoyable stay.
Thank you so much for giving such a positive review and recommending Boundary Barn to future guests. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and grateful to all those that leave a review. Erica & Andy Property Owner

"Pros Clean (very) Comfortable (especially the beds) Welcome pack ..."
Pros Clean (very) Comfortable (especially the beds) Welcome pack (thanks) View Beautifully furnished Cons Exiting onto road almost completely blind Huge pile of rubbish directly in view
Thank you for your positive feedback regarding the property. Boundary Barn is situated along a narrow country lane. As owners who live on site, we access the same entrance/exit daily and those that use the lane are generally familiar with properties that have an exit onto it. The views are fantastic from the Barn, part of which overlooks farmland. The agricultural rubbish that is referred to was there temporarily due to the farmer clearing one of his barns, which has been subsequently removed. Pleased you enjoyed your stay Erica & Andy Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at the Boundary Barn."
The Barn is well and fully furnished. You also have a beautiful view of the hills.In addition, we received a warm welcome from the owner. We look forward to a next stay.
We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay At Boundary Barn… we’re always pleased when our guests look forward to a return visit… Erica & Andy Property Owner

"Had a lovely week at Boundary Barn, our Son lives 13 mins away which made a excellent base for us to meet up with him Had a lovely time exploring Bristol and."
SS Great Britain was a full day out Regarding being near Bristol Airport, this did not bother us at all, even with few planes going over. At this property was a Beauty Barn where I had a long overdue Manicure, loads of Treatments were available too The views were spectacular with sheep so close to the Barn. The facilities in the Barn were spot on, everything you needed and most of all so soft Beds and so comfortable which in my book is a must Thank you for a lovely stay, and a perfect base for exploring, we shall return as for us its so near our Son and future Daughter in law Regards, Maureen and Colin Magee

"Cosy cottage in beautiful location."
Property was spotlessly clean. Very comfortable beds.
Thankyou for your review we’re pleased you enjoyed the lovely location of Boundary Barn… Erica & Andy Property Owner

"Loved our stay at Boundary Barn."
A cosy space with everything you could need. Very clean and beautifully furnished with absolutely fantastic views. Hosts are close by if you need anything but Boundary Barn is lovely and private.
Thankyou Richard for your feedback… We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay… Erica & Andy Property Owner

"Boundary Barn is situated on a quiet lane with fabulous views."
The cottage is small, yet roomy at the same time and is furnished beautifully. Two shower rooms is a bonus in a small property and the open plan kitchen/diner/lounge makes it feel airy. Bedrooms are small but adequate. The cottage is under the Bristol airport flight path. Flights do operate 24 hours. This didn’t bother us but may do if you’re looking for total peace and quiet. That said I would definitely recommend this property.

"We had a great holiday, lovely place and area, highly recommended."

Thanks so much for your comments Roz and recommending our beautiful little Barn conversion. We pride ourselves in offering our visitors a comfortable, airy stay and have worked hard to create an interior/exterior layout and design to facilitate this. I run my Beauty Cabin within the same grounds as the property and we have specifically tried to bring some of the relaxing and restorative feel that my clients enjoy at Boundary Barn as well. We also live on-site and can say that aircraft noise is rarely an issue for ourselves and our guests. Bristol Airport has aircraft approaching from many different directions, so does not have one specific flight path as such. However, depending on winds and air traffic hold patterns, you may hear aircraft overhead more so on some days.... Erica & Andy Property Owner

"Boundary Barn is in a lovely position, overlooking the Chew Valley, but this is spoiled by being under the flight path for Bristol airport."
About 100 jets take off and land each day, some during the night, and when the jets are taking off towards the property, they are very noisy. The property information states: "As the property is conveniently positioned by Bristol Airport, some associated noise maybe heard". This is very misleading. If you are looking for some piece and quiet, and you want to sleep after 0600, I would recommend not booking Boundary Barn.
Thankyou for your comments Gary and we are so sorry that the aircraft noise appears to have been a concern during your stay with is. This must have been a very unusual period when weather and air traffic conditions created an issue, for which we can only apologise. We live on-site, within the same grounds as Boundary Barn and can honestly say periods such as those you have described are very rare. We do however enjoy regular overhead visits from hot air balloons ( Ashton Court is only 3 miles away)and lots of our visitors have shared their delight at witnessing this serene spectacle.

"Excellent property, tucked away in a quiet location."
Facilities were everything we needed for our stay.
Pleased you enjoyed your stay…. Erica & Andy Property Owner

"We had a lovely relaxing holiday at Boundary barn, it is ideally situated for visiting places like Cheddar gorge, Wookey hole, Bristol zoo & Coast of Weston-super-Mare they are all within 1hrs journey away."
The cottage was lovely it was clean, comfortable with everything we needed. Garden seating provided so It was lovely to sit outside after a day out overlooking the hills & fields full of sheep, with the occasional visit from Olive the dog bringing her toys to play. We saw hot air balloons every day except one which was a bit more breezy, with all this to see we never even switched the TV on our whole weeks stay. We would definitely return here if ever staying in this area again .
Thankyou for your lovely feedback… enjoying Boundary Barn we also feel very lucky to share this with our guests…. Erica & Andy Property Owner
-
"Perfect stay, everything was as listed in the description and Erica was so lovely in asking if we needed anything topping up."
Olive the gorgeous dog is adorable and friendly made our stay. One thing i would say is that it would of been good to of have more options with the TV as in Netflix as we do not have the Google Stream as i would say a lot of visitors wouldn't either.
Thankyou for your feedback…. It was lovely to meet you both….Pleased you enjoyed your stay and made the best of your visit….…. We recently put the new smart tv in… something we will address re Netflix/Google stream…. Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage in a stunning location."

Thankyou for lovely feedback it was nice to meet you both and hear you had a lovely time Erica & Andy Property Owner

"We have just returned from a relaxing and peaceful holiday at Boundary Barn."
It's set at the top of a valley, so the views were amazing. Being able to watch the funny spring lambs was lovely. The Barn had everything you need and it was very clean. We enjoyed walking from the barn across the numerous footpaths, byways and bridleways. The countryside was stunning. The wildflowers were beautiful. A visit to the Chew Valley and Blagdon lakes was a lovely day out, if you go to the fishing tackle shop at Woodford Lodge at Chew Valley lake sailing club, you can buy a day permit ticket for £6 each, this allows you to walk or drive around these beautiful lakes. We saw an Osprey, Barn Owl, Little Egrets, Herons, Sandpipers, and a new sighting for us, Garganey dabbling ducks. The grasses around the lake were filled with wildflowers including Early purple Orchids. There's also a restaurant at Woodford Lodge. Thank you for a lovely stay at Boundary Barn.

"This is an ideal holiday property."
The house is well equipped and comfortable.It is close to Bristol but in a rural setting The owners deserve praise for sending on to me property I had left behind.This is real service.
-
"Lovely cottage in a great position for exploring the Bristol area."
-
"The access steps are quite difficult for anyone with even mild mobility issues"
-
"The most wonderful views and spotless accommodation- even the bedding smelt amazing!"
Lovely hosts and an outstanding massage from the owner in her Beauty Room. Even their doggie gives you a warm welcome. A perfect holiday spot for a family of three.
-
"A perfect little cottage!"
Very private with beautiful views. The owners are lovely and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend!
-
"Perfect little place with everything we needed and stunning views."
Great location for many day trips too.
-
"Fab location."
The barn was amazingly clean! Decor was the perfect mix between modern & traditional. Superb comfy beds with high quality bedding. Fluffy, thick bath towels. Loads of storage. Kitchen equipped with everything you could possible need/want. Diffusers dotted about releasing lovely fragrances & also matching handwash in both bathrooms. There is even a chromecast so you can beam content to the tv Its those little well thought out touches that raises the bar. This is by far the best place we have stayed in in the UK. Erica & Andy are such a lovely friendly couple and It's so obvious to see that their priority is for all guests to have a lovely time at Boundary Barn. This is a 5* accommodation!!! I cannot recommend enough & would definitely return in a heartbeat!!

Convenient location for Bath, Bristol and surrounding walks.

"Lovely place, the people were lovely would definitely go back."

"This was the first time we have booked a cottage and we really enjoyed it."
The cottage is just 5 miles from Bristol and is a great base to discover the local area. It has beautiful views over the rolling hills and the owners were very welcoming even giving us some milk so we didn't need to go to the shops when we arrived. It had a well-equiped kitchen including washing up liquid, dishcloths, and tea towels. There were lovely toiletries provided in the shower rooms and it was well decorated throughout. At one end of the lane, there is an ice cream parlour well worth a visit and a pub at the other end. We visited Bristol Docks, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Glastonbury, the Cheddar Gorge and Weston Super Mare all very easy to get to. Lots of little villages with country pubs close by too.I can't recommend it enough. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you Andrea and Graham.

"Quiet except for landings at nearby Bristol Airport."
Very pleased with accommodation. Tight access from narrow lane.
-
"Stunning cottage in a stunning location."
The cottage had everything we needed and was in a great location for exploring the local area.
-
"I have had a huge number of e mails from Sykes, both in connection with this holiday and to encourage future use."
I think this is too much.
-
"We had a lovely holiday 'covid style', isolating so sadly not accessing local attractions although we visited Tynstesfield N."
T property and drove through Clevedon which unfortunately had decided to ban all car parking along the front, why could they not have had at least alternate parking bays made available? As a result side streets were jam packed with cars - possibly for the residents and few visitors. Shame, because Clevedon looked delightful. The location of the Boundary Barn gives 180 views of beautiful countryside with every shade of green, yellow and bronze - and with sheep of course. Unfortunately without a Sat Nav finding it was tricky on the drive down to Dundry but we cracked it in the end - part of Somerset's charm is the winding roads which can take you in circles even with an old fashioned map to guide you.. We had beautiful weather which was a bonus, and walks to the local dairy each day for fresh milk from Guernsey cows was a joy. Our hosts Andrew and Erica made us most welcome on arrival and unobtrusive hosts, we knew if we had need them they were always there.

"It was everything I wanted and more."
Thank you Erica.
-
"Lovely property, perfect"
-
"The barn is really cosy and comfortable."
Tasteful decor, lovely views, super comfy beds and very convenient for Bristol and attractions in the surrounding N Somerset area. There is also a beauty spa available on site. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"We had a lovely short break."
The cottage was great with a fantastic view over the valley and was clean and well equipped. The welcoming apple and blackberry crumble was a lovely touch. We would certainly go back.
-
"If clients are looking for privacy, peace, tranquility, views across miles of countryside without feeling lonely, then look no further, for here you can have it all."
What a wonderful little place this is. Refurbished to a high standard, Boundary Barn, with all mod cons, radiates a welcome from the moment you step inside.
-
"Boundary Barn is a first class cottage - spotlessly clean - very well appointed and with welcoming hosts."
Fabulous views and centrally placed for visiting all attractions,Bristol,Bath etc. Would love to return - best cottage we've stayed in - deserves a 5* rating.
-
"We loved the layout and facilities of Boundary Barn, Everything seemed to have been well thought out and it was decorated and furnished to a high standard."
We appreciated the groceries left for us, which avoided us having to pop to the shops for the basics. We had lovely days out throughout the week, visiting Wells, Clevedon and Bath, but there is lots for us still to see, so another visit would be good! The showers were great, but my elderly mother would have appreciated a shower mat and grab rail. We highly recommend.
-
"I booked Boundary Barn for my boyfriends parents as they were over to visit us from France and we are having work done on the house so they couldn't stay with us, and they were looking after his 5 year old daughter."
They were so happy with their stay, they arrived to scones and clotted cream and Erica and Andy made them very welcome! It is a lovely location and funnily enough we could almost see the cottage from our house and they could see ours as the views are across the valley! Would highly recommend staying there to anyone, and if we have more visitors that we can't put up, will definitely be booking them in there!! It's easy to get either directly into Bristol or out to the countryside, so they found it a great location for exploring .. apparently there are also apples and plums in the garden ;-)
-
"We found Boundary Barn very cosy, clean and comfortable, (lovely comfy bed and the fluffiest towels ever)."
Located in lovely rolling countryside but near enough to Bristol if you want a bit more life, plenty of things to see and do there. We visited Weston Super Mare, Wookey Hole, Wells, Cheddar Gorge which were no more than a hours drive away. Be aware that there are planes regularly flying over as airport not too far away, though we had no problem with this at all. Would definitely recommend you visit here, owners Erica and Andy were most welcoming and helpful.
