Wow, what an absolutely stunning home in the countryside. The place is massive, with lovely green views. Fred's mother Andrea hosted us, and made us feel very welcome straight away. They helpfully accommodated an early check in as my partner and I were attending a wedding nearby. We were back late so didn't get much of a chance to truly enjoy the beautiful home, however can say that the bed was very comfortable, the room spacious, and the ensuite just as large with a lovely walk in shower. We were very pleased we booked the room, rather than camping after the wedding, Thanks very much for hosting us. If we are ever down this way again we would love to stay again. Yaz and Joe

Excellent stay at Sweethay. Sarah was very helpful and accommodating. Perfect place for a short summer break or cosy winter weekend.

Sarah was great host, nice quiet location great for kids, great kitchen woulg highly recommend Sarahs farmhouse. Thanks for the memories Sarah

The Apple Press is a lovely location to stay at for your visit to Somerset. Although a little difficult to find once there the welcome and amenities are superb and a great place for exploring Somerset and the surrounding areas from.

Fantastic stay! The apple press was lovely. A great space for just hanging around chatting, eating and drinking! Taunton was a few minutes away and all the convenience a town comes with but you really felt you were in the middle of nowhere. Loved it!

We very much enjoyed our time at the Apple Press. It's a lovely place. Sarah was welcoming and then left us to it, despite the proximity of their house, which is ideal - there if you need them but otherwise a peaceful existence. It's slightly off the beaten track but there's a pub in walk-able distance (opens at 6.00). The house is lovely and the area is a great base for Somerset. Top marks!

James and his family are really welcoming hosts - they have a beautiful home. My husband and I stayed here when going to a wedding locally. Our room was at the back of the house in a sort of 'guest wing' which was really nice. The room was spacious and clean and we had an en-suite (think it was a shared en-suite but we were the only guests so had it to ourselves). The breakfast was yummy too! They also run relaxing, sporty, healthy retreats and its a beautiful setting I am considering recommending it as a perfect location for a girly get away holiday next year.

My Wife and I recently stayed 2 nights with James. Once the booking had been completed, James was excellent with all communications. We had clear concise directions and it was easy to agree an arrival time. He was more than happy to accommodate a gluten free dietary requirement and also recommend dinner options in the local village. James greeted us and introduced us to the other family members, showing us to a fantastic room with a large, comfortable bed. The en-suite bathroom was great and looked recently fitted out. Soft fluffy towels, luxurious hair & shower products were also provided along with a welcoming cup of tea! Breakfast on both days was a great combination of healthy and tasty, included awesome smoothies! Our agenda for the 2 days we were staying was likely to vary, so we were given a key to the property and they even lent us a torch to navigate the short (but very dark) stroll to the nearby pub. All in all, I cannot recommend this location enough. Before leaving, we were shown the impressive on site facilities that allow them to hold Spin and Yoga sessions. In summary: Great location, Beautiful farmhouse, Warm and welcoming host and Amazing breakfasts

A very friendly welcome. James was quick to reply to my enquire. The room was comfortable and the breakfast delicious. We had a very relaxed couple of nights, came back late and slept in. Very quite and peaceful location.

We really enjoyed staying at Joana and Jonathon's lovely home. The initial communication was excellent with Joana providing clear instructions on how to get there, along with other useful information for our stay. The house suited us perfectly with 3 small children and was well equipped with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. Joana has been a fantastic host and her house was clean, comfortable and well located. We completely recommend staying at Joana's house if you are looking for a well located, comfortable home to stay in this beautiful part of the country.

This place is wonderful for a peaceful stay in the country. So much light, lovely views, warm and cosy, beautifully decorated, fantastic kitchen, friendly animals and kind host. What more can one ask?

We had a fantastic time at Butterlaw Cottage. The cottage is decorated to high standard and was really cosy and comfortable. Our babies / toddlers loved all the animals and one even got to feed and ride on one of the pigs. We would definitely return. Thank you Andrew and your family for such a lovely and memorable weekend.

The host canceled this reservation 100 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The cottage was an ideal place for the five of us to stay for a few days over last weekend. It's a stylish, comfortable and well-equipped space in a lovely remote location. We loved waking up and watching the pigs in the morning. We were made very welcome too (thank you Stanley)!

The cottage retreat is in a beautiful spot and is high quality accommodation, perfect for a large group looking to relax and be self sufficient. Andrew and Sophie were great hosts and we had everything we needed for our stay. We will be back! :)

A really wonderful stay! Butterlaw Cottage was perfect for our group break, with a big open plan shared space, lovely bedrooms and a relaxed feel. In addition to the lovely cottage, the location is secluded with a big garden and beautiful views. We loved the visits from the animals! Not only was our dog welcome in the cottage, we had cuddles with the resident dogs and pigs (we miss them). So many lovely walks nearby, once there with all you need, you can put the car keys away. We all highly recommend this cottage and Andrew and family are wonderful hosts, we'd love to go back.

Lovely little place comfy veds everything you could want and more for a stay away brilliant will be usei.g again if in area

A clean, quiet confortable self contained room in a beautiful house. A pleasant 20 minute walk into Taunton. Our host was helpful and welcoming and we would like to stay again soon when visiting family.

A fantastic place to stay! I would thoroughly recommend here to anyone who is visiting Taunton and wants to stay more than a day!

A really good sized room and en suite bathroom. Cozy feel - great on a cold night in January. Good shower although I didn't try the whirlpool bath it looked impressive. I appreciated the hairdryer in the room and the tea and coffee facilities. I was only there for one night so can't really comment on the surrounding area but it seemed a nice quiet neighbourhood, I got a lift from the station but it wasn't far. The detailed directions of how to get there were very good though. Generally a very comfortable room, just right for what I needed and Julie was great at answering any questions.

This was a lovely large room with great ensuite. Bed was really comfy and the location quiet but close to lots of amenities and good for the motorway. Tea and coffee provided in the room plus biscuits (a big hit with my 4 year old) Would definitely recommend this airbnb and stay here again en route to Cornwall.

I had the most wonderful time at Holway Cottage. The host Julie was lovely, really friendly, helpful and welcoming. The cottage is gorgeous, all of the benefits of a rustic country retreat with all of the modern perks. The location itself is brilliant if you are looking to explore Taunton and the surrounding countryside. One direction takes you straight into town and the other into the countryside so it really is the best of both. The room was incredibly comfortable, with a lovely bed and clean modern private bathroom. It was more like a 5 star hotel room than someone’s spare bedroom - silk curtains and Laura Ashley cotton sheets, a snack box plus my own private entrance meant that I didn’t feel that I was disturbing Julie at all. All in all it was a lovely trip and I would absolutely recommend a visit.

Very beautiful and clean room with so comfortable double bed. I definitely want to come back there! Julie was friendly and very helpful.

Very friendly host! Easy to find and lovely to have some breakfast goodies and snacks already there!

We were delighted with Julie's room which was large and of a very high standard. We particularly liked the fact that there were two arm chairs instead of having to sit on the bed. Very good communication with check in and someone was there to receive the keys. The en suite bathroom was perfect, excellent shower with plenty of hot water and a lovely sheltered courtyard where we could sit outside. We were cycling and found Holway Green easy to locate and there is a cycle route into Taunton centre is very close by. We would love to stay again and would not hesitate in recommending Julie's place.

This is a wonderful, wonderful location. Right in the heart of Taunton. Everything is literally a stone's throw away. The house itself is lovely. The kitchen is very well equipped - the only thing we lacked was a colander, but we improvised splendidly.

The cottage was lovely and homely. Sarah was very helpful and fixed a minor issue I had with the door. Ideal for me working so close by!

Great place and great location !!

Thanks Sarah and Jeremy. It was a brief and pleasant visit to Taunton. Thanks for you hospitality.

A nice place to stay in the town centre. So close to lovely little shops and cafes but not busy or noisy at all.

Charming and welcoming home, very central location, really helpful owners and would totally recommend the cosy cafe just behind the property for a corking breakfast.

Sarah and Jeremy's cottage is in an amazing location- incredibly convenient for anything and also completely peaceful. The house is beautiful... really spacious yet every room has a homely, cozy feel. The attention to small details like the garden lighting, low lighting in all rooms and furnishings was lovely too. There were only two of us, but this would be a comfortable space even for 6 or 8 people with three rooms and the possibility of making an additional sleeping space in the lounge.

Sweet cottage; excellent quiet but central location; and great value for money.

Clayton was a great host, very accommodating and recommended lots of places around...and there is loads of options as the house is about five minute walk from a town centre. The house and the room itself feels very premium. It was a lovely stay.

This is the 2nd time I stayed there, Clayton is very friendly, knowledgeable of the area. I would highly recommend staying there is you are visiting Taunton.

Clayton was very communicative all good

Clayton was a great host, very accommodating, communication throughout entire time from booking to checkout (and even after) was superb...even dropped me off in the morning. I checked in very late but this wasn't an issue...and house is very close to town centre which is a big bonus. The room itself was clean, comfortable and felt premium. It was a lovely stay, and will use again when next I visit Taunton.

Great location and very comfortable rooms and the host is incredible

I had a wonderful two night's stay. Bozena is lovely and the house is wonderfully decorated and very clean and tidy, I had a very comfortable night's sleep. I would recommend :)

Lovely place to stay! Especially accommodating of my weird request - was staying during the day and working nights.

Definite five stars. The house is lovely, the guest room has enough privacy, a pleasant neighbourhood and Bozena is charming and friendly.

Bozena was a lovely host. very nice house in a very nice area. peaceful and quiet. thanks Bozena.

All as expected. Accommodation eclectic, clean and comfortable.Hosts made us very welcome and provided perfect breakfast, providing special extras to our taste. Free to come and go as we wanted.

Clean and comfortable place to stay. Quiet location but great that it is a short walk into town. Breakfast was yummy. You won't be disappointed, especially if you appreciate the art work around the house. X

Lovely house with something interesting to feast your eyes on wherever you look. Gary made us very welcome and we had everything we needed. The bedroom is charming, very peaceful and comfortable.

It was a flying visit but we had a super time. It's a lovely room in a great location. Gary was a great host and very friendly. The breakfast looked amazing although we were both a little bit too jaded to eat. Many thanks!

Gary and Shaz were amazing hosts and went out of there way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. This house could be featured in an issue of Elle Decoration as it is so stylishly decorated. The room was very comfortable and looked over the lovely peaceful garden and the bathroom which was next to the bedroom was very modern. The house was extremely clean! Cleaner than any hotel or bed and breakfast I have ever stayed at. I wouldn't hesitate to stay with Gary and Shaz again.

This was a lovely place to stay. A fascinating house full of interesting things and very hospitable and friendly hosts. It was spotlessly clean and we were left a good breakfast. It's a few minutes walk from most places and very handy if, like us, you are visiting the County Cricket Ground.

Another great stay at Gary's. Gary was there to greet me and as before, bright, cheery room with immaculate bathroom and a great selection of teas and coffee. Quiet with good blackout blinds. So quiet despite being in town centre that I slept right through until 9am! Parking space near to town too which is a bonus and you can walk into town in a couple of minutes. Will definitely be back again as such great value.

Our first airbnb experience in the UK, good room & bathroom, Gary was very hospitable, and it was all very easy. This is well situated to enjoy Taunton without having to worry about parking. Recommended, and would be happy to return in future.

A hidden gem in the Blackstone Hills. Lovely old farmhouse with self contained guest flat on first floor. Big comfy rooms and lots of generous extras. Matthew was very helpful and welcoming.

Gill is a very welcoming and accommodating host. Lovely room/house in a scenic location. Heartily recommended.

Gill and John are very nice.I would say the house is perfect.Taunton is worth visit if u stay in Gill's house.I really enjoyed the time .Many thanks,Gill.

You could not find a better place to stay in Taunton. It is quiet, but is centrally located. It is spacious and Gill is a very attentive and friendly host.

Gill and John were wonderful hosts and welcomed me into their lovely home for my stay. The room was very nice and looked out onto the garden and the breakfast was great.

Strongly recommend this airbnb to stay as it was clean, close to ammenities and in a lovely location. Gill was very helpful and gave me a guided tour of Taunton. Thanks for your help.Thanks John for fetching me too.

Gill and John are fantastic hosts. Helpful above and beyond. They really made you feel at home but respect privacy. Breakfast is great, and nice large bedroom room. Really recommend this, especially as it is so close to the centre of town, a nice short walk across a weir and park, and really close supermarket in walking distance. Overall great place to stay in Taunton.

Ideal location. Very quiet yet within walking distance to the town centre. Comfortable room and welcoming hosts.

I totally recommend it!

Fiona was a fantastic host from the moment we arrived , helped us with anything we needed and extremely friendly and easy to talk to. We were there for my 30th birthday but we had children and dogs with us and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Beautiful place to stay in an idyllic setting!

Amazing place, Fiona and spencer are absolutely fantastic and couldn't have done more to make us feel at home. Spotlessly clean with immaculate grounds. The perfect place to get away from it all or to party.

In a nutshell... we have just returned from the most amazing weekend. The whole experience from the second I enquired with Fiona right up until our departure yesterday was seamless, and Fiona was an absolute superstar from start to finish. The Manor and surrounding properties were stunning - everything we'd wanted from the weekend and more. The girls and I were lucky enough to have the grand tour and we're already looking at an excuse to book again. I honestly can't thank Fiona enough for going that extra mile and making our hen weekend the best we could've hoped for. Her impeccable attention to detail is reflected in the quality and lovely little touches throughout the barn we stayed in. World class! PS: I'd highly recommend the clay pigeon shooting if away with a large group - lots of fun and Brian (our patient tutor) was excellent. THANK YOU to Fiona, Spencer (and the bears) for a perfect weekend.

We had the most amazing hen weekend at The Great Barn. The accommodation was breathtaking and the hosts excellent! I would recommend staying here for any occasion, but especially a hen do!

We had a fantastic 4 day break staying at the Great Long Barn. We were a group of 8 (2 families with each 2 children ranging from 6-12yrs old). The Barn was the perfect accommodation for us: a large garden for the kids to play in, a hot tub, a table tennis table and amble space inside for everyone too. Fiona and Spencer made us feel incredibly welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. Fiona really went out of her way to make sure we had a brilliant time (the kids were even allowed a swim in the Manor swimming pool next door, which they were very chuffed about!). The beds were probably the best beds I have slept in - so comfortable, you don't want to get out of them in the mornings! Beautiful surroundings and plenty to do nearby. We did Dunster Castle one day and then found Wimbleball Lake Activity Centre for the following two days where the kids (and adults!) could try out archery, bushcraft ie. surviving in the wilderness, climbing and high ropes. We would highly recommend the Great Long Barn for any family or friends wanting a break away together or planning a reunion.

Both Fiona and Spencer were amazing hosts... very warm and welcoming and we couldn't have felt more at home. The location was perfect, quiet and secluded but not to far from local facilities. The Barn was wonderful and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect, especially the hot tub!! We ordered 3 meal drop-offs prepared by their French Chef and every meal was delicious. Having the food delivered made meal-times extra easy, the perfect add-on to the holiday. Couldn't recommend this place enough, its simply great!! Wonderful location, wonderful hosts, wonderful food!!

We have just got back from staying in The Great Barn! It was beautiful, even better than we expected, perfect for a hen weekend! The house was absolutely spotlessly clean and was beautifully decorated. We spent hours in the hot tub chatting and drinking prossecoo! Fiona and spencer were so helpful and welcoming we did not want to leave! Fiona even brought me over a toothbrush when I told her I had forgotten mine which saved us having to go out and buy one!!! 'The Bears' were so cute and friendly and kept us all entertained! Will be reccomending to everyone and already planning our next trip back!!! Thank you for having us!!!! X

We arrived at the barn for a hen weekend away, there were 12 of us ladies, and each of us was amazed with this property. Fiona (the owner of this property) was amazing at communicating and prepared the barn beautifully for us. The whole experience ran soothly and she was always around for any questions or queries. Not only was the barn well furnished and a fridge stocked up with water and soft drinks, she also had arranged tables for us to make a bar area and eating area. I truly thought the photos were amazing but it was even more incredible in real life. We headed to the local down one evening and had an amazing night out. Again, Fiona helped to organise us with cabs and recommended some lovely places for us. The jacuzzi was the highlight, as we managed to play our music through the speakers and there was no complaints. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a weekend away for a celebration of some sought!
