• "Needed a quiet place to de-stress after a year of stress."

  Old Goat Cottage exceeded our expectations. From the welcome and goodies from Sue on our arrival, the peace, tranquility, peace throughout our stay, to the bag of cooking apples Sue let me pick from her tree on our day of leaving, the whole experience was fantastic. The cottage is a great location, with 25 minutes drive from 4 national trust sites and also RNAS Yeovilton ( great visit). Just over a mile outside Sommerton, which has everything you need from chemist, chippy, co-op & bakers, but also just a 20 minute drive from fleet if you want larger stores. Fantastic owner, fantastic place. Will return to de-stress again in the future. Highly recommend.

• "We loved our stay at The Old Goat Barn."

  It is in a wonderful setting and just so quiet . The accommodation is large with a wonderful back garden for sitting out in on a night. You also get sole use of a huge secure paddock just opposite the cottage for your dog to run around in which also has a table and chairs in it for you to sit and watch the wonderful wildlife ( lots of deer in the nearby fields at dusk and early morning) It is situated near the village of Somerton which has lovely pubs and great bell ringing on a Sunday. The Village of Street ( 10 mins away by car ) has a Clark’s Village which has every outlet of designer shop you can imagine in it and everything is at a reduced price plus it was very quite. We also went to Lyme Regis which was only a 45 min drive away and what a beautiful seaside village it is . Sue was the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble and she left us a wonderful welcome pack which also included treats for our dog. The barn is very dog friendly. We will be back

  Owner a very nice lady. Lovely views and quite lanes so easy for walking the dog. The dog paddock is great and secure as is the entrance to the property.

• "Brilliant stay at TOGB, Ideally situated to explore everything Somerset has to offer."

  Completely relaxed, spent a lot of time outdoors, dined alfresco most days. Great for the Dog too with a huge Paddock to run around in and, if you forget your doggy treats and pooh bags, Sue has plenty. I have marked down on facilities a little but, I spoke to Sue about the showers and the fuller figure? A washing machine would be a bonus however, happy to go to the Dry Cleaners in Somerton at the end of the first week for a service wash, lovely staff and reasonable price. I have to leave a comment about Sue. Sue is a very warm and welcoming person and, is the driving force behind this hidden gem, respects your privacy however, is only a text or call away should you need her. I must say, Sue is part of the reason we return and, we have already booked for 2025.

• "We had a fabulous week."

  We were met by Sue and she showed us around and then left us to our own devices. The cottage is ideally situated for discovering the best of Somerset but also perfect for a winding down as it's in a quiet, rural and very beautiful setting. The facilities were everything we could need and there are walks down little lanes direct from the cottage to walk your pooch or alternatively, there is a paddock to let your furry friends run free. The town of Somerton is 5 minutes drive down the lane or about 20 minutes walk away and is worth a look as is the lovely Langport (10 mins drive). We also really loved the seating area outside the cottage as it's so peaceful to sit and relax and watch the bird life. Altogether, a superb place to stay!

• "Sue is a most generous and attentive host."

  There was a valued welcome pack on arrival including all the basics needed until a guest could shop. Sue made herself readily available on our arrival to welcome us to the cottage. She then was available if there are any issues but gives her guests the space they may also wish. The cottage is comfortable, clean and perfectly located to visit key places of interest in Somerset and the bordering counties of Devon, Dorset and Wiltshire. The cottage is basic but clean and tidy. There is good secure parking on site. There are two single beds in a large room adjacent to the kitchen and two small toilet/shower areas. A private enclosed courtyard at the rear of the property was lovely to sit on and enjoy the evening sun. The location was rural, extremely quiet and located up a short road which joined the main roads and nearly A303. I would return to this cottage again due to the attentiveness/care of the host and its location.

• "Firstly, I booked the place in error."

  Although I was trying to get through on the phone, (constantly engaged), it was 24 hours & 10 mins since the booking had been made. I won't be using this Comany again!! About the converted building, it was freezing, no substantial insulation, only oil electric radiators. Now the smell, wet dogs, to cover this there were plug in chemical air freshners, I'm allergic to both so no good to me. I stayed 2 nights out of 28 booked. I nearly got my van stuck in the deep gravel in the parking area, so beware! Also very remote, with apparently no technology for WiFi, although we had a 02 signal! It was clean, but other than that, not suitable for a winter let. The bedding was inadequate & there were no draft excluders under the doors. Definable be aware! The booking was for 24/11/23 - 22/12/23 Date of experience: 24 October 2023

• "The owner was very considerate and understanding of my husband's needs due to his ill- health."

  The cottage is well-equipped and having 2 toilet/shower rooms was great for us. It is in a very peaceful location. One of the highlights was being able to open the external door in the bedroom to enjoy watching the birds feeding on the birdfeeders a few feet away. We did feel that instead of air-fresheners in every room, what was needed was the carpet to be steam cleaned because the smell of dogs was incredibly strong in the building.

  Hello I'm so pleased that the stay was relaxing for your needs and hopefully you will return. Thankyou for the feedback which I always take on board. This is a very pet friendly environment. The carpets were replaced last year. I fully understand people that stay without pets may pick up on certain smells. I do try as much as i can to cater for everyone's needs. ie. New beds and mattress(s) are being replaced next week as a few previous customers commented on this. Property Owner

• "We were looking for a budget value for money property for the two of us and our dog, Bertie, and we definitely found it in the Old Goat Barn."

  Sue, is defo, the hostess with mostess, so welcoming and friendly but, mainly concerned that Bertie had a good time. Sue took time to show the facilities and layout of the property, which was really useful and then left us to it for the rest of our stay however, she was only a phone call away if you needed anything. The Facilities indoors were adequate, if I had one concern, it was the shower curtains in the cubical. A glass door would have been more appropriate, as the water ran down the curtain onto the floor, the wooden shower matt stopped any slips. I also found, as a man with a fuller figure, the curtain could be quite restrictive.Everything else was absolutely fine, the secure dog paddock is an absolute triumph, the enclosed courtyard is great for eating Al Fresco and, we are looking forward to a return visit in 2024, hoping for more of the same from the lovely Sue. If you're looking for a good base to explore the southwest, then we would highly recommend this hidden gem. I could say more but I don't want to lose the booking next year!

  Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback. I totally agree about the shower curtains and i am planning to get them changed to glass. I always take on board the comments and if I can will try my best to upgrade as best as I can. It is a humble but peaceful retreat. I'm so glad you both enjoyed your stay and most of all Bertie and will be looking forward to your return. Property Owner

  The property was shown as having internet connection which was imperative for us because of an on going situation. The internet was worse than useless with a plug in repeater in the bedroom which we assumed should connect with the main house. The cottage is ideal for dogs and there is a very warm welcome from the owner but overall it falls far short of our expectations of Sykes cottages based on our many past bookings.

  Hello So sorry about your concern relating to the internet connection. The description does say that internet can be flakey due to the rural location. I myself *Susan has problems too but i normally use G4 on my phone if i need to. The cottage is humble but is a base to go out an explore and enjoy your stay. This should be about relaxing not worrying about TV and internet, It is very quite at night and doggie friendly. A private driveway and a garage to park your vehicle. I sometimes wonder what people expect for the price. I just wish you would have come to me and explained before leaving but i suppose everyone is different . Property Owner

• "We stayed 6/3/23 for 5 days."

  We have rented holiday cottages for many years and have great experience in this field. Unfortunately our arrival was marred by an awful muddy lane leading up to the property, making our car absolutely filthy and heavy with mud. Nothing the owner can do about this, but a warning in the description would have helped us. Very nice welcome, bits of biscuits, and chocs and a sliced loaf welcomed us. Our first impression of this old converted building was that all the character had been stripped out, leaving just a pleasant abode. The lighting was minimal which is fine except that the kitchen was too dark, and shadows were cast over the cooker and the sink, making it very difficult to see. The oven door is dangerous as it swings shut again once you have opened it, making it a possible safety hazard. The fridge/freezer, located in the car port, has a compartment lid which falls open every time the door is opened. That said, we did have a good stay overall, there was plenty if information at hand about the surrounding area and amenities, and the outlook over the garden and fields was lovely, with two resident ducks on the pond, and a nice little courtyard area at the back would be a good place to sit in warm weather. I’m afraid we would not return this time which is a great shame.

  Hello So sorry that your stay was not as expected. This time of year, the lanes are very muddy due to the location, tractors etc but in the summer months it is glorious; unfortunately that is seasons for you. The Kenwood cooker was purchased less than 3 months ago, so we will check and if required this will be under warranty to be fixed but saying that we have had no other complaints or concerns about this. We have taken note on the light above the cooker. The freezer in the garage is not part of the booking description so in the future maybe we should not let anyone use this; we just thought it would be handy at times. *too kind for our own good. Description of 'The Old Goat Barn'. Well what can we say apart from it is what you see on the tin *photos on the website. Simple, humble but it is quiet, has a double bay garage to park your car safely and out of bad weather and also easy for getting to the the door if you have mobility problems. It would be lovely to see you both back again....maybe in the summer months. Property Owner

  We spent a pleasant week visiting such places as the Fleet Air Arm at Yeovilton and Burnham on Sea. The Cottage itself is cosy and comfy and benefits from its own small private garden. The beds are comfortable and the heating was more than adequate and easily adjusted. Our only gripe is that Wi-Fi connection kept dropping out making it difficult to book tickets online for the Fleet Air Arm, so ended up paying more. Also, though it's a minor niggle, there is no kitchen litter bin, but to be fair the main litter bin is just a few yards away in the car port. All in all this cottage was more than worth the money paid. A genuine bargain

• "Helpful considerate owner lives next to property."

  Very quiet location but easy drive to all facilities. Somerton is a small market town with plenty of pubs and cafes providing excellent food and drink. If you remember the 60s go to glastonbury for a hippy day out in the town centre, the local dress is a must see for its explosion of colour and the shops are very different to the norm.

  Amenities are not far away by car. You’re in the middle of several tourist attractions. If you’re looking for a de-stress location this is it.

  Thank you. The only negative comment would be that there wasn’t a peddle bin in the kitchen, and it needs one.

• "We had a great time at The Old Goat Barn."

  Miles and Sue were very welcoming host, although due to the Covid19 situation we didn’t see much of them, but they were there if required. The cottage itself was clean and tidy, and had everything you would need during your stay. It has a nice little courtyard to relax in come the evening, which is secure to let the dog out on its own. Great views of the duck pond, and fields beyond. A beautiful, and peaceful part of the country, that is handily placed to visit neighbouring counties. Plentiful choice of really nice pubs that do good food nearby. Absolutely recommend, and will visit again.

• "Our holiday was great, it started from the welcome we received from Myles & Sue."

  A lovely welcome pack was left for us and also our dog. The cottage has a beautiful view and was ideally situated for our break. Easy access to places, Weymouth, Street (Clarkes Village) and local towns with lovely browsing streets. There is a quiet lane opposite the cottage for walking your dog and also the prospect of seeing deer, we did on 4 occasions. Really good holiday which fulfilled our expectations, cheers Myles & Sue.

• "I know we all rely on Wi-Fi more than we should but it stated clearly that you could get it."

  Unfortunately the signal from the house to the Barn was not strong enough to get a reliable / steady connection. Having the dog with us we needed to check out places before we set off to know if we could take her in or not. it's not a big deal but it could of saved us some wasted journeys & time if we could of known before hand. Also looking up the menu / opening times for meals at the local pub and other places of interest would of been a great help. Good central location so you could go off in any direction to find places to visit.
