Flax Barn

2019 is no longer with us

If you were looking for cottages like Flax Barn, how about trying these:

Flax Barn is located in the beautiful south Somerset village of Barrington, not far from the Dorset border. Barrington Court and its gardens, estate, tea shop and artisan crafts workshops are within strolling distance of the cottage. The gorgeous Somerset countryside is all around but it is also a very easy drive to the breathtaking Jurassic Coast.

This lovely stone barn conversion is one of just four properties that have been created from an historic set of barns at the heart of the village. Flax Barn has the great advantage that it can be booked for two or four guests throughout the year. Hayloft (2403) is in the same development.

Accessed via a shared gravelled courtyard, the reverse level accommodation gives a lovely view from the kitchen window over the fields and the cosy sitting-area with wood-burning stove looks out over gardens. As well as all the character that comes with a barn conversion, with its beams and exposed stonework, there is a new kitchen and bathroom. There are two ground floor bedrooms, one with a double and the other with twin beds.

With its picturesque thatched cottages and historic church, Barrington epitomises the country village idyll. There is a very friendly local pub, The Barrington Boar, which serves excellent food.
