The Barn is a blissful retreat where friends and families can escape to the beauty of rural Somerset. The self-catering holiday cottage has been lovingly converted on a cider farm from an original building on Meare Court Farm in Wrantage near Taunton. Visit England has given The Barn 4-Star Gold status in recognition of the high standard of accommodation that includes space for six guests in three luxurious bedrooms and a private patio with an outdoor hot tub and BBQ area. Guests can enjoy countryside walks to country pubs across the fields, at Hatch Beauchamp and The Canal Inn, Wrantage for lunch or dinner.
Taunton is a lively town that offers plenty for families looking for a fun and varied holiday. There are lovely parks like Vivary Park, where children can enjoy the play areas while adults relax by the flower gardens or take a leisurely stroll. If you're feeling more adventurous, the nearby Somerset Museum provides a fascinating look into local history, while the Tenpin Taunton bowling alley and Flip Out trampoline park are perfect for some family-friendly entertainment. The town is also home to great shops and cafés, ideal for grabbing a bite after a day of exploring. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the Quantock Hills, just a short drive from the town, provide beautiful walking and cycling routes with stunning views across the countryside.
Somerset, with its rich variety of attractions, is full of options for day trips that families will love. The famous Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole Caves offer unforgettable experiences, with cave tours and plenty of interactive fun for kids. If you’re keen to explore more of the coastline, a trip to the Jurassic Coast to visit Lyme Regis and Charmouth is a must, where you can hunt for fossils or enjoy a walk along its dramatic cliffs. Animal lovers should visit Exmoor Zoo or the Somerset Rural Life Museum, where children can meet farm animals and learn about rural life. For a more relaxed day, the National Trust’s Barrington Court or Hestercombe Gardens are both lovely places to explore, with beautiful grounds and plenty of space for kids to run around. With all these attractions within about an hour’s drive, there’s never a dull moment for families holidaying in Somerset.
