Fabulous
Myself, mum, brother and daughter stayed at this wonderful place for a week during October half term.
We had a great time. The property was clean and spacious and had everything we needed and more.
The hot tub was an added bonus which we used daily.
The owners greeted us as we arrived and showed us around as well as providing us with a contact number if needed. It wasn’t needed.
It is approximately 2 miles from Taunton and is set in the middle of a farm area so great for walks.
It has 2 garden areas and plenty of space for parking.
The kitchen had everything that you could possibly need.
The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable.
The lounge had a log fire, plenty of seating and a tv and PlayStation.
We had a wonderful one and would not hesitate in staying there again.
Thank you.

Excellent Family stay
We have just returned from a delightful family stay at Apple Tree Barn. Tony and Julianna were excellent hosts - Tony met us on arrival and provided an informative tour of the property and all amenities, and was available during the week for any queries. The accommodation was perfectly equipped with everything you could need in a home from home, and is a great central location for visiting Somerset and Devon attractions. We could not fault it, and would definitely stay again in the future. Highly recommended!

Great Stay!
Apple Tree Barn is a lovely little cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our week there. Communication was great and it had everything we needed during the week plus the bonus of the (very easy to use!) hot tub!
Also very happy with the location - although a little far from the nearest village for eating out, easy drives to both the south coast and Exmoor from a central location - we even managed to get to the Pig at Coombe for lunch one day!

A great staycation!
Thank you to Julianna & Tony for sharing your beautiful property.
Apple Tree Barn is furnished to a high standard and was equipped with everything we needed for a perfect family holiday.
Beds very comfortable and the hot tub was very welcome after days out exploring.
Great location for visiting North & South resort towns, not to mention the beautiful County of Somerset.
