Award-Winning 17th-Century Barn B&B in Somerset Countryside
Amenities & Ambiance
The Old Stables Bed & Breakfast occupies a Grade II Listed 17th-century barn that has been restored to offer an award-winning ambiance. The property sits on a quiet lane with free private parking and offers free Wi-Fi throughout. Guests have access to a large, secure grass paddock for dogs to run freely and a communal lounge with board games and puzzles.
Rooms
Each en-suite room is individually designed with luxury linens and high-quality toiletries provided. Rooms include a flat-screen TV, a fridge with fresh milk, and homemade shortbread replenished daily. The Granary room offers a super king-size bed and a roll-top bath, while the Garden Room provides direct garden access.
Dining
Breakfast is served à la carte or continental, featuring fresh pastries, pancakes, fruits, and homemade granola. Cooked options include locally sourced sausages and bacon cured by host Simon, along with perfectly scrambled eggs. Guests pre-order their breakfast the night before and dine in a historic setting with homemade marmalade.
Pet-Friendly Facilities
Dogs receive a welcome pack with toys and biscuits, and a designated grass paddock offers a safe space to run off-lead. Pet bowls, dog treats, and even dog sausages at breakfast are provided. The Garden Room is particularly pet-friendly, opening directly onto the garden and paddock area.
Location & Local Attractions
The B&B is set in the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath and Cheddar Gorge for hiking. The Poacher's Pocket pub is a five-minute walk down the lane and serves evening meals. Hosts Alyson and Simon provide comprehensive local recommendations and can offer cycle storage for touring cyclists.
Highlights
Award: Grade II Listed barn with award-winning ambiance
Breakfast: Locally sourced full English with homemade granola & cured bacon

“This restored barn is a truly tranquil escape, where the quiet surroundings and thoughtfully appointed rooms create an immediate sense of calm. The breakfast spread is exceptionally varied and delicious, and the genuine warmth of the hosts makes one feel entirely at ease. It's the kind of place that rewards a visit with a deeply restful experience and a desire to return.”
