Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention the property being spotlessly clean and well-maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the Milking Barn.
The location is frequently described as peaceful and convenient, close to Yeovil and within easy reach of local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
The majority of guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a cosy log burner. However, a few guests noted the master bedroom size and heatwave conditions as slight discomforts.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and spacious living areas. Some guests mentioned the lack of live TV reception and the second bedroom's limited storage as areas for improvement.
Many reviews reflect the hosts' thoughtfulness, such as providing farm eggs and being responsive to guests' needs. While gifts like wood for the fire are mentioned, it is noted that such gestures are at the hosts' discretion and not guaranteed.

The owners were very welcoming yet allowed us total privacy. Would highly recommend the Milking Barn for 4 adults or a family.

We have used Sykes cottages many many times over the years and been very satisfied, however this was our flagship stay. From the farm tour and cup of tea on arrival, the fantastic elevated balcony near the tree tops, the beautifully decorated and furnished rooms and the excellent equipment and fitments throughout. We certainly plan to return, mark,Jo, ady and ang.
