Barncroft Gidlands Farm Reviews

Sam
Great location, but the decor's a bit worn out now.
Alex
Upon arrival, we noticed it was quite dusty, needing a quick clean. There was also some dirt and crisp packets on the floor and beside the bed.
Laura
We really enjoyed our stay here. The scenery was stunning and it was so peaceful, exactly what we needed to escape the hustle. Be aware you'll need a car to explore around, but honestly, we'd definitely stay again. It's a lovely spot if you're after a quiet getaway. Totally recommend!
Emma Clarke
We really enjoyed our time at Barncroft! The location is fantastic, with plenty of interesting spots nearby. The town has both Asda and Waitroseand a bit further out, Lidl - so shopping's pretty convenient. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit chilly for us to sit at the picnic table with those lovely views of the Vale of Taunton. The meal at RumweRead morell farm shop was lovelyand the complimentary wine was a nice touch. Overall, a great stay!
George
We had an amazing time at this lovely cottage! The place is absolutely stunning and the owners were super friendly and helpful, making our stay even better. We're already telling friends about it and can't wait to return. The only tiny issues were the WiFi being a bit unreliable and the main bedroom mattress being quite firm, but honestly, they're minor compared to how gorgeous the place is. Definitely a spot we'll visit again!
Emma
The cottage is stunningand the surrounding views are breathtaking! Hot tub sessions are a real treat, especially with those vast fields for dog walks. Everything's spotless and well-equipped, we truly enjoyed our stay!
Rachel
Lovely spot
Emily
We would definitely recommend this barn again if you enjoy peace and quiet like we do. It's near various spots for food and thankfully doesn't have too many tourists, though it was June, not the schools-out July period. There's so much space aroundand we absolutely loved it!
Simon
What a lovely cottage in such a scenic setting! The hot tub was fantastic. All the appliances and towels were provided, which made things easy. There were 2 decent sized rooms, one of which had the double bed. We had a really good time. Thanks a lot!
