Purchases Barn in Chard | Hot Tub Cottage in Somerset

About Purchases Barn

Purchases Barn is a sophisticated 4-star holiday barn in Somerset, just 2.5 miles from Ilminster. This spacious converted barn offers breathtaking views across to the Quantocks, Mendips and Glastonbury Tor - perfect for your Instagram backdrop or just staring mindlessly while nursing your hangover.

Set on a working farm with peaceful surroundings, this is proper countryside living without sacrificing modern comforts. The barn sits in an ideal spot for exploring Somerset's highlights. The Blackdown Hills AONB is just 4 miles away, while the Jurassic Coastline is within 15 miles for those beach days. Fancy some culture without the kids whining? The Fleet Air Arm Museum and Haynes Motor Museum are both 20 miles away.

The accommodation sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms - 2 king-size and 2 twins spread over two floors, each level with its own bathroom. The sociable open-plan living space features a wood burner for those chilly evenings when you've had one too many in the hot tub. Speaking of which, the kitchen comes fully equipped with an electric AGA, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer and dishwasher - because nobody wants to wash up on holiday.

Outside, the enclosed garden is perfect for dogs (two welcome at £20 each) and the hot tub is ready for your evening glass of fizz. Chard is just 3 miles away for supplies and there's ample parking for your entire convoy.

The place was spotless, had all we neededand the views were stunning. The host responded quickly and was really friendly. Can't wait to come back!

James

We had an amazing stay for my 60th birthday! The house was beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed. The garden was perfect for our dogs-they really enjoyed exploring, though one did manage to escape twice into the lower field, which was a bit nerve-wracking since she's a bit of a digger. The large garden and ample parking were great, but some extra lighting would help in the evenings, as it gets quite dark out there.

Emma

This place really impressed us! The setting was stunningand the house felt spacious and cosy, with comfy beds. The hot tub was a real highlight. Can't wait to return next year, definitely recommended!

Emma

Huge thanks to Di for being such a great host. We definitely need to come back- a week wasn't enough!
