“The Stone Barn has been our base during a ‘working holiday’ in Minehead. It has proved to be an oasis of calm and relaxation after a hard day’s work. All the fixtures and fittings are to a very high standard and a lot of thought has gone into it to equip it for every eventuality. A relax in the hot tub each evening was the icing on the cake! Looking forward to returning soon and spending more time relaxing, and less time working.”

“Wow – thank you for the most perfect way to spend a long weekend. Complete luxury and dog-friendly too – not something you get very often! We had a really special meal at Reeves restaurant in Dunster – delicious food and impeccable service (and the dog was made very welcome!). We’re already planning our return visit, see you soon!”

“Thank you for a lovely long weekend away! Stone Barn is a beautiful place to stay. We hope to be back again soon. We loved every minute in the hot tub, thanks again.”

“Well…Stone Barn you have been an absolute pleasure to stay in. Absolutely stunning! Beautiful décor that has given me ideas for home. David is planning on a hot tub as we could not get him out of it!! 😊 The views are stunning, and the church lit up is beautiful to see. We have visited many places, Porlock, Dunster, Lynton, Lynmouth to name a few…the view from the cliff top railway is quite breath-taking. We enjoyed the steam train journey from Minhead to Bishops Lydeard – we loved every minute. Thank you for our stay, we will be back next year to enjoy Minehead and Stone Barn all over again. Can’t wait to enjoy the hot tub lit up, so relaxing…”

“We have had a lovely week in Somerset. What a fabulous property! We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. My mum, sister and I and our little King Charles have had a lovely break and we will be back.”

“What a gorgeous property, we felt so at home as soon as we arrived. Thank you for the lovely welcome. The house and garden are done to such a high standard, you have thought of everything. Loved the mix of old and news, felt like a boutique hotel, just bigger! Lovely walks – Horner Wood, Selworthy Beacon, and Porlock to Colbone to name our favourites. Enjoyed the food at ‘The Old Ship Aground’ and the Luttrell Arms in Dunster. The hot tub was a fab bonus, helped my aching bones after a long day walking. We have a fab week despite the storms! Thank you so much.”

“Wow! What a wonderful place to stay. The accommodation was first class, so clean and furnished to a high standard. Everything you need and more for a week’s stay with my husband and his parents. Even our budgie Eddie was made welcome with a bag of seed! The owners have thought of everything. A big thank you! We really enjoyed sitting in the garden with a cup of tea and evenings in the hot tub were a must looking up at the night’s sky and the magnificent view of the church all lit up. Thank you again!”

“Really nice holiday home in a beautiful part of Minehead. The cottages, little streets, the church, proximity to Exmoor, all are absolutely lovely. The views from the church are magnificent. Some lovely aspects of this house have given us food for thought when we go home, especially the feature lighting! Richard loves the efficient hob, Ellie the rise and fall fan/splashback and I love the black sparkly shower! The hot tub will be sorely missed too. We’ve enjoyed looking again at things and places we saw last time, and a second visit has been so good that a third might be on the cards as I write…Thank you!”

“What a fantastic week! Stone Barn is absolutely superb, an excellent holiday home of the highest quality. Thank you for a great break, we will certainly be back. We wish we had found Dunster Beach earlier, we recommend it to everyone as a real highlight to be enjoyed. There’s so much to see and do with a bit of travel. Lynton and Lynmouth was a favourite from my childhood and it was great to revisit for the day. We have all really enjoyed our week’s break, the Stone Barn is great, we want to tell other people about it. We also want to come back and try the other cottages with our family.”

“Great week in Somerset. What amazing accommodation!! Everything we needed and more, thank you. The highlight is the beautiful scenery, just breath taking, and Dunster is worth a visit for a Sunday lunch. It has been fantastic coming back to the hot tub after a day out, we will miss that. We will definitely recommend Stone Barn to friends and family. Many thanks.”

“We are not sure where to start…what an amazing place to stay! Stone Barn is amazing. Everything is done to perfection, from the kitchen utensils to towels and bed linen. There was nothing we needed….it was in a cupboard or drawer. The hot tub was such a treat and was used every evening by us. We ventured out every day and we all had our favourite. Thank you for an amazing week in a perfect location and the amazing Stone Barn, we loved every minute.”

“Thank you for a fantastic stay in Stone Barn. What a stunning conversion! We all loved the little touches such as the original beams being used as a sink stand, and the keys hanging on the wall. I loved the hot tub – amazing after a long day walking. The coastal walk from Lynton to the Valley of the Rocks has probably the best views I’ve ever seen, and it’s amazing to be on Exmoor in five minutes (turn right up Moor Road and you’re there). Also, we loved the concert in Blenheim Gardens in Minehead and The Creamery for lovely ice cream. Walk highlights include Porlock Weir to Culbone Church, and further along the coastal path too – don’t miss the Harbour Gallery and Café for cake afterwards, and Dunster Castle for the garden and walks nearby. Somerset is so beautiful, I wish I’d come years ago. We loved it!”

“Thank you for a wonderful stay, the barn is charming and in a lovely part of Minehead. Our 11-month old son loved playing on the beach and crawling around the garden. We loved our trips to Dunster Castle and Porlock Weir – the toasties in Harbour Café are yummy! What a beautiful part of the world. So much to explore, we will return.”

“What a privilege to stay in such as sensitively and wonderfully equipped barn conversion. We loved the quiet area, beautiful thatched cottages and the maze of streets down to the sea front. I loved the walk up to Selworthy Beacon, and my afternoon/evening cliff top runs on the coast path were magical. Our 11-month old was captivated by the garden and I think we may need to buy some stacking cups (thank you for providing the toys!). Our trip to Culbone Church from Porlock Weir was a real highlight. I’ve probably stayed in 25+ self-catering places over the years, and Stone Barn is comfortably the most luxurious and thoughtfully decorated. It’s a gem!!”

“A superb treat to stay in this beautifully restored barn. So well-equipped and such thoughtful detail. There is so much to do in the area. The walks are beautiful. The Valley of the Rocks and Culbone Church were two highlights. Charlie Friday’s Coffee Shop in Lynton has excellent food, as well as coffee. Highly recommended.”
