“A beautiful cottage in peaceful countryside.”

Our hosts were very welcoming. Fresh flowers, fresh fruit, tea, coffee, and milk there for us. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend this cottage, it's location and the warm welcome to everyone.

“We had a very enjoyable holiday, weather could have been better.”

Karen was most helpful and I even managed to cope with her dog Puzzle. The property was very quiet and peaceful, the lanes can be challenging being single track.

“The cottage and the grounds were faultless and spotless, all so well kept and neatly presented.”

Karen and Campbell were on hand if we needed but not intrusive in any way and Puzzle the dog was a joy to see each morning. We were welcomed by Karen and there was milk, tea, coffee and fresh fruit available as a starter pack along with a vase of flowers hand picked from their own garden. Would recommend to anybody as a lovely peaceful holiday, very therapeutic. Thank you

“Had a great relaxing stay, lovely well equipped and comfortable little barn in beautiful surroundings.”

Made to feel welcome by the owner and puzzle the dog. The milk, tea, coffee and fruit we a nice surprise. Ideally situated for visiting National Trust places and Hayes motor museum.

Julie March 2023

“Little Barn was very comfortable and warm; it was well appointed and had everything I needed.”

It was in a great location with lovely views and a beautiful village to walk up to and close by a number of National Trust properties to visit. I very much enjoyed my stay and would definitely return again.

- Julie, March 2023
Barbara September 2022

“This is a beautiful cottage with everything you need for a home from home comfort.”

Lots of National Trust properties and seaside not too far. I would have liked a pub or restaurant within walking distance, but that’s my only gripe. It’s in a lovely setting and very relaxing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Barbara, September 2022
Marie September 2022

“Little Barn was lovely everything you could possibly wish for a comfortable bed a lovely clean kitchen and a cosy area for relaxing The owners are very friendly and helpful making your stay a very pleasant time.”

- Marie, September 2022
Colin September 2022

“This was the best coattage that we have stayed in and our holiday was cut short by the illness of a relative.”

The only problem for us was the Friday to Friday let as we do not like travelling on days when commercial vehicles use the roads and prefer Saturday to Saturday.

- Colin, September 2022

“An OK place.”

Chair and sofa a bit worn and lacking in body. Excellent heating. A very good space for a couple.

- Ian, October 2021

The Sofa and Chair were not very old but as we never stop to sit down on them when cleaning during changeover we had not realised the sofa was becoming a bit too soft! This has been rectified and a lovely new sofa and matching chair have been bought, are very comfortable and look really nice! Property Owner

“After still getting lost on the way there despite the new directions we arrived at Little Barn.”

Karen and Campbell were welcoming and showed us around the place. Little Barn had all of the facilities and comforts that we have come to expect from Sykes cottages and extra touches like fruit and flowers and a milk to start off our holiday. The setting was lovely with a pond just outside the door where the swallows swooped down and then headed back to their nest in the stables. Each time we came "home" the dogs came to greet us with enthusiasm. From Little Barn we visited the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Wells cathedral, Wilton and Stonehenge.

- Margaret, August 2021
Philip August 2021

“Very quiet location and within easy driving distance of numerous places of interest.”

Our hosts, Karen and Campbell, were very friendly and welcoming (as were their two dogs) - they gave freely of their local knowledge of eating-places and alternative directions to places. Would recommend this location.

- Philip, August 2021
Anthony July 2021

“A lovely holiday cottage with everything you need set among fields and views over beautiful countryside.”

Owners were particularly friendly and helpful and the local community too. It took a while to get used to the narrow lanes and routes to Wincanton and Gillingham but there was plenty of help from local houses if you took a wrong turn. Strongly recommended and we hope to return.

- Anthony, July 2021
Kenneth June 2021

“An ideal location for us to enjoy visiting the surrounding towns and Somerset countryside.”

Perfect hosts and comfortable accommodation in a quiet, relaxing location.

Sally June 2021

“We had a great holiday ,friendly helpful hosts .”

The photos don’t do it justice . Lovely quiet setting with lovely views to the front . My only criticism is that the directions to find the cottage were inaccurate ,Karen the host ,had to come and find us when we got lost ( we don’t use a sat nav ) the lanes mentioned don’t have any signs ! And instructions to leave A303 at wincanton are wrong,you need to leave where it sayes wincanton races . After a long journey this all wasted 30 minutes .

“Michael and myself had a wonderful time, a nice peaceful place away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life .”

“A lovely cottage in delightful surroundings.”

Friendly hosts, for whom nothing was too much trouble to ensure our comfort. Any problems resolved quickly and efficiently. Would highly recommend.

John July 2020

“What a little gem.”

The owners live on site and could not be more helpful. In these strange times with Covid social distancing and cleanliness are very important to everyone. We couldn’t fault the precautions that had been taken. This part of South Somerset had a lot of places to explore. We had a lovely relaxing break

The property

Little Barn is part of a beautifully converted dairy tucked away in the Somerset countryside close to the borders of Dorset and Wiltshire, in a peaceful position on the edge of the lovely little village of Cucklington.

South facing Little Barn sits comfortably next door to Willow Barn and the owners’ farmhouse and stables.

Approached by a sweeping drive alongside horse paddocks, beautifully maintained lawns and a lovely pond, Little Barn provides a wonderfully scenic spot for your stay.

Facing South, all on one level you will enter through the glazed stable door into a light, bright kitchenette and living/dining area.

Cool and comfortable in summer, but cosy and warm in winter with central heating and double glazing throughout.

In the evenings unwind with a drink on the patio and watch the sun set, or catch up on some TV, read, listen to music, or create a tasty meal in the well-equipped kitchen.

The comfortable double bedroom with large wardrobe and spacious en-suite shower room is the perfect place to retire after a long day’s sightseeing or shopping.

A visit to nearby beautiful Stourhead (National Trust) is a must along with so many other places of interest, all offering their own unique history.

Head to the small yet charming town of Wincanton just 3 miles away for all of your essentials.

The local area offers supermarkets, pubs, coffee shops and places to eat to suit all tastes.

For Terry Pratchett fans the Discworld Emporium in Wincanton is a must and why not make the pretty journey to Glastonbury with its ancient Tor and legends of King Arthur.

Little Barn is ideally located for exploring some of Somerset and Dorset’s most iconic locations, with Wincanton in easy reach for all of your local amenities including shops and eateries.

You’ll find everything you need just a scenic car journey away.
