"This is our 4th visit and we love it."
If I had the money I'd be there all the time. I feel blessed when we stay here. It's butifull. I never get fed up looking at the ducks And wild life. And our dog loves it.

"Wonderful accommodation providing comfort, cleanliness and a perfect setting."
The garden and surrounding area is one of beauty, offering serenity. The Lodge is in an ideal position to visit local seaside resorts and offers many wonderful local walks worth doing to take in the amazing views of Somerset. Adrian and Jo, the owners, are both very friendly and always available for a chat or advice if needed. Thank you both again for your kind hospitality.

"Our second visit to this cottage, such a perfect location for exploring Exmoor."
There are many walks you can do direct from the cottage. The cottage is in a quiet location, it has everything you need. A very well equipped kitchen and smart TV a bonus. The cottage is exceptionally clean, warm and cosy and the hosts very welcoming. A delicious homemade cake, bread, jam, milk etc await you - there is also a honesty box which comes in handy. We have booked again for next year.
Hi Tracey. Thank you so much for your lovely review. Hope your journey home was okay. Look forward to seeing you again next year. Best wishes Adrian and Jo Property Owner

"The cottage was lovely and the gardens magnificent."
The cake, bread and milk waiting for us was an unexpected bonus and very much appreciated. It was all perfect for us and the dogs and we had a great time, in spite of the weather being very, very wet.
-
"Stunning property, well kitted out and Jo and Adrian very lovely welcoming hosts although they are on hand if needed you don't really see them much due to the layout of the site."
Very dog friendly, fully enclosed for our terrier. Grest secluded spot which we love but still only 5mins to nearest place by car. Ample parking, full kitchen for cooking/baking, walks from the doorstep. As well as own outdoor area guests can use their other various gardens on site. Can't recommend highly enough!!! ( and lovely welcoming pack too thankyou)

"Upper Barn Cottage was everything we could have wished for, it is has plenty of home comforts, clean and well furnished, the owners were very welcoming and friendly and the welcome goodies were very much appreciated."
The cottage is set in wonderful grounds and the owners also let us enjoy their own garden. We had a wonderful stay and would thoroughly recommend Upper Barn for a relaxing holiday, we can’t thank Jo and Adrian enough.

Quiet, peaceful and lovely surroundings. Would not hesitate in returning!
-
"Upper Barn Cottage was immaculate, clean and presented just as in the photos."
Our welcome pack of home made lemon cake and locally sourced bread was delicious and greatly appreciated. We loved having the wood burner going in the evening which meant the cottage was very cosy and warm. The location is quite remote but is lovely and peaceful with great bird song and wildlife. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Upper Barn Cottage and would definitely recommend it as a relaxing place to stay to get away from city life. Thank you Jo and Adrian for being the perfect hosts. We hope to return in sunnier weather!

"Upper Barn Cottage is a beautifully equipped and maintained holiday cottage, one of the best we have stayed in!"

"Beautiful property in a great location."
It was very clean, tidy, spacious, and comfortable. There was everything we needed and wanted plus a lot of extras and nice touches. There are a lot of good walks from the cottage and surrounding area and it was a good quiet location for just relaxing. We had a lovely week at Upper Barn and cannot recomend enough
-
"The most perfect barn iv ever stayed in."
Everything you need and more. The apple cake was superb. We come hear to get away from the fireworks as our dog is scared of them.
-
"This is a lovely cottage, spacious, spotlessly clean, well equipped and nicely furnished."
It is part of a small B & B complex in a quiet hamlet, with walks out from the property across Exmoor. The owners are very helpful without being intrusive, All in all a great place to stay.
-
"Our time at Upper Barn was perfect, the property suited us to a tee."
Thank you Adrian and Jo, who seem to have thought of everything. From the lovely cake and jam etc., down to leaving a cupboard empty in the kitchen for us to put our own food and not having to have it on the surfaces. We are likely to return at some point as there is so much to do in the area.
Hi Nicole. Many thanks for your lovely review. We are so glad that you really enjoyed your stay with us. Best wishes Jo and Adrian Property Owner

"A perfect holiday cottage with a private fenced little garden, perfect for the dog and the morning coffee."
Very spacious, clean and light, modern cottage with everything you need. Comfortable and warm, Smart TV a bonus. Homemade cake on arrival was lovely. Also provided with bread, butter, jam and milk - very welcoming. A great location for walking on Exmoor, we did very little driving to get where we wanted and have booked again for next year.
Thanks Tracey for your kind comments. We look forward to seeing you next year. Adrian Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at upper barn."
It was very clean and everything that we wanted for our week away. Thought had been given to what we could need but not necessarily brought with us so there was dish washer tablets, soap and cleaning spray and cloths provided.
Hi Robert. Really glad you had a good holiday with us, and many thanks for your kind words. Best wishes Jo and Adrian Property Owner

"We enjoyed a lovely stay here, the property is just as described if not better!"
Very spacious and well equipped. The welcome pack was just that.. very welcome, including the fab cake. The gardens that we overlooked were beautiful and the bedrooms very comfortable. The owners couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful so overall it’s highly recommended.
-
"Perfect in every way."
Great hosts as always, beautifully maintained property with personal touches to suit everyone. Great location, easy commute to all of Somerset and Devon. Four stays now and never get tired of the place. What more can I say
-
"Excellent property and caring owners made it a delightful place for us to stay and as a base for our daily tours from."
Very minor thoughts are that I'd probably have liked a little more outside fenced area in which to release the dogs off lead for a good run but the garden was lovely all the same. A set of chopping boards in the kitchen (i.e. fish, veg, raw and cooked meat) to replace the buckled plastic thing. Otherwise, well equipped kitchen with good sharp knives - not many places care about this minor but irritating issue!
-
"Excellent property, friendly owners, spot on."
Thanks Richard. Best wishes Adrian and Jo Property Owner
-
"Fantastic stay."
The barn was very spacious and clean. It had everything we needed and more. There was a lovely cake made for us on arrival which was delicious and the welcome provisions were very helpful to start our break. The location is perfect being close to beaches, coastal paths and the sites of Exmoor. We would definitely recommend to others and would return.
Hi Jade. Many thanks for your kind comments, and really glad you enjoyed your stay. Adrian and Jo Property Owner

"Upper Barn Cottage is warm and welcoming, well equipped to a high standard and dog as well as human friendly, with some lovely seasonal touches, (lit xmas tree and decorations)."
The layout is perfect with a dry covered outside area to clean off, before entering and the main living area which is upstairs, so warm and cosy with lovely views. A great location with some good walks locally, with all of exmoor to explore and a short drive (15-20 minutes) to the beach and coast. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend a stay and can't wait for a return visit.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our few days in the Upper Barn."
We needed somewhere quiet to relax and rest, and it was perfect for this (especially given that the area was covered in mist and low cloud for most of our stay).
-
"Lived up to our expectation - thoroughly enjoyable week despite the weather,"
-
"2nd time hear nearly as good as 1st time."
The radiator in lounge did not work. But thay gave us a heater. Which was fine As it was not to cold. As for the cottage it's been as good as last year. We have a dog that is scared of fireworks and up hear she is happy all of our stay.

"Upper Barn Cottage is beautifully furnished and situated in a small hamlet surrounded by countryside."
Jo and Adrian couldn't have been more helpful. There's ample space for parking close to the cottage. It has two ensuite bedrooms with very comfortable beds and a spacious lounge/kitchen/dining room upstairs with great views of the large gardens which were available for our use as well as our own small patio right outside. The kitchen is well equipped and we were greeted with a generous welcome pack of bread, milk, butter, jam and a delicious lemon drizzle cake. There is an honesty box with other goodies as well. It was great to be able to let our dog out into the safely enclosed garden which added to us having a very relaxing time. I can highly recommend Upper Barn Cottage and we hope to return soon.

"We loved it."
Great property and friendly helpful host.

"First rate property with friendly owners who made us feel welcome."

Plenty wildlife viewed from and around the house - pheasants, moor hens, ducks, rabbits Canadian geese, smashing! The guest garden's bonus, with chickens nearby to watch. First holiday with the grand children 6 and 3, struck lucky with the weather - hope to return to do some local walking thanks again Joe and Adrian

"You often read reviews about holiday accommodation and wonder, but on this occasion all reviews are spot on and Jo and Adrian have gone the extra mile with homemade cake and jam."
There was also butter, bread and milk awaiting our arrival. The cottage was very comfortable and clean with beautiful views over exmoor and the owners garden.
-
"We have gone through Sykes for years and always been pleased but this cottages was amazing."
The photos don’t do it justice. On arrival Adrian welcomed us and inside is an amazing interior so welcoming. Jo had baked a beautiful lemon drizzle cake there was homemade jam, bread, butter, tea coffee etc and milk to get us started. An amazing box of goodies to purchase if we wanted. We were going to go shopping when we arrived as needed food after a long drive from Newcastle but didn’t need to with what was left for us. You have your own private garden but the grounds were wonderful I loved to watch the ducks having there breakfast daily. You look onto Jo and Adrian’s garden which is outstanding which you are allowed to use if you want. Can’t thank Jo and Adrian enough. We are hoping to go back in a couple of years. Loved it thank you
-

-
"The owners were welcoming and very helpful."
The cottage exceeded expectations and was set in spectacular scenery.
-
"This cottage exceeded our expectations."
I think pictures don't do justice to the Cottage, it's surroundings and Exmoor in general: you have to see it to really appreciate the beauty. Would highly recommend it.
-
"Upper Barn Cottage."
What an amazing place. The Barn Cottage was beautiful decorated (very much to our own taste) and equipped to a very high standard. Yet it was a place where you could relax and unwind. The homemade sponge cake and jam did not last long! Thanks also for the fresh bread, milk, butter etc to get us started after a long drive there. The patio garden outside was fully fenced, so very safe for our dogs and having a field close by to let them run in was great. The autumn colours around the cottage were lovely. Our only regret? We didn't light the fire! Next time. We really really enjoyed our stay and do plan to return. Thanks Jo and Adrian for a beautiful getaway.
-
"It was another very enjoyable stay in Upper Barn Cottage, with everything you could wish for."
-
"The cottage is absolutely fabulous, it has everything you need and the hosts Jo and Adrian can’t do enough for you."
The interior is spotless and decorated and furnished to a high standard. The garden is equally beautiful and well maintained. The area outside is perfect for dogs and is fully fenced so that dogs can’t escape! The homemade cake was delicious along with the jam and fresh bread - there was even milk and butter in the fridge too and we loved the idea of the honesty box. The hosts had taken extra precautions to make us feel safe during the current pandemic which we appreciated and I’m sure future guests will feel reassured by too. We have holidayed with Sykes for many years and have always been happy with our cottages but without doubt this one is the very best by far. So much so that on the day we arrived we booked again for next year and can’t wait to go back!! Thank you Jo and Adrian.
-
"We had the best time, in the most beautiful cottage and surroundings."
Our Hosts Jo and Adrian were just delightful. Arriving to fresh bread, homemade delicious cake and jam. These didn't last long!! Every last detail had been thought of to make sure our stay was perfect. If you want peace and quiet in a most beautiful part of the UK, this is your place. Local shops are a short drive away and Minehead a little further for that larger shop. My first holiday in the UK for many many years, will not be last. We will definitely stay at Upper Barn Cottage again very soon. Lynne, Chris, James & Frank, The Bullmastiff!
-
"We were made to feel very welcome."
We loved the garden. The plants and flowers around the lake were beautiful. It was so quiet, perfect for a relaxing holiday. The hosts providing cake, milk and bread for us on arrival was a really nice touch. There is a BBQ available for guests to use. Walks onto the moors are possible from the front door. The decor inside was well thought out and very much to our taste. We would like to return in autumn to curl up in front of the wood-burning fire and enjoy the autumn colours.
-
"Upper Barn Cottage had everything you could want - comfortable beds, plenty of space, good showers, storage facilities, wifi, garden."
... but not only that there were added extras to make our holiday perfect. The hosts have thought of everything, and were very helpful and friendly. Top marks
-
"Excellent place to stay"
-
"This is a holiday cottage prepared and maintained to the highest of standards."
We have stayed here twice and plan to return. The owners could not be more helpful and accomodating and the property feels like home from home. A great quiet location for lovers of the outdoors to explore Exmoor's delightful coast and moor.
-
"Fabulous accommodation."
Superb views from every window. Loved it.
-
"Upperbarn at Middel Burrow, is such a peaceful place."
A beautiful house, with every comfort you wish for.
-
"Our hosts Jo and Adrian were warm and welcoming to their lovely converted home so we felt at home straight away after our long journey."
The house is beautifully laid out with every amenity you could wish for. The grounds accessible from the house are the finest we have seen and we felt privileged to be able to walk in them. We would say our holiday was as perfect as you could ask it to be.With or without dogs it is a location to treasure .
-
"Upper Barn cottage is an amazing property with every amenity that you could wish for."
Would definitely recommend this holiday let.
-
"Absolutely beautiful barn and furnished to an extremely high standard."
It's in a perfect position for visiting lots of places but only 10 minutes drive from the coast Also it is so peaceful and the owners Jo & Adrian could not do enough for you I cannot recommend Lower Barn enough to anyone just wanting to get away from it all
-
"We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage and wish we could've extending our break by a few days."
The cottage was stunning, in beautiful surroundings and with perfect hosts. We can't wait to return.
-
"A nice well positioned cottage set in a beautiful tranquil garden, overlooking a large pool with lots & lots of wildlife."
There is a separate personal garden and a meadow behind for exercising your dogs. Tucked away up a quiet country lane its very convenient for all amenities and Exmoor. Very clean, light bright and spacious with a comfortable interior it’s well kitted out with new modern furniture and kitchen furnishings. The beds are very comfortable. Jo and Adrian the owners are a lovely couple who have put a lot of effort into this property and deserve any rewards it brings. Jo’s greeting cake is mouthwatering. For walkers it’s ideal with plenty of maps to browse. We, in our late 70’s found plenty of level short walks with dog friendly cafes. Coastal and Exmoor villages are easily accessed via quite main or country roads. The downside is that it’s not suitable for anyone unhappy with stairs as the lounge and kitchen are located on the first floor and for families with young children the bedrooms are separated by outside doors with an access arch between. If the last comment is not a problem then I have no reservations in recommending Upper Barn, it’s lovely accommodation, well located with very nice owners. We wish them well. Arthur & Joyce Sercombe

"Fabulous cottage in a fabulous setting."
The cottage was immaculate when we arrived and the chocolate orange cake was a really lovely welcome. Saw lots of wildlife from the living room window and excellent walking options. Also really nice to have secure enclosed outside area for the dogs. The cottage is great for those who want two slightly separated bedroom/bathroom areas too. Would thoroughly recommend!

The property
Wheddon Cross 3.6 miles.
Upper Barn Cottage at Middle Burrow is a fabulous, detached dwelling nested in beautiful countryside, with views from every window and just a stone's throw away from the coast, near the village of Wootton Courtenay, situated within the Exmoor National Park.
The property dates back to the 17th century and interestingly was originally used as a threshing barn to process grain, before later being converted in the seventies and again in 2018.
Boasting a lovely rural location and having an unusual, reverse level layout inside, this well-presented holiday let is ideal for families and friends looking to explore a wonderful part of the UK.
The living room on the first floor makes the most of the views across the grounds, with a charming outlook over the garden at Middle Burrow and Grabbist Hill, with the pond surrounded by mature trees and a green lawn.
The dual aspect lets in plenty of natural light to uplift your mood each day, while the vaulted ceiling adds character.
This spacious room leads through to the kitchen and dining area, where you can cook up a scrumptious meal and gather with the family to catch up on the events from the day and plan further fun trips out.
Once you have relaxed into your evening with maybe a board game or some TV, retire downstairs to the bedrooms.
There is a king-size double with wardrobe, dressing table and bedside tables with reading lamps, while at the other end of the house accessed via a second set of stairs from the kitchen, is the twin bedroom, which is ideal for those travelling with kids.
They each come with their own bathroom facilities making it easy for you all to get ready in the mornings, and there is even a handy utility room housing a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Outside you have a delightful garden with places to sit and rest with a drink on a warm summers day as the sounds of wildlife fill your ears.
There is a plethora of walking nearby, with a footpath leading to the moors directly from Upper Barn Cottage.
Note: This property can be booked with 1096386, together sleeping up to six guests.
