“We spent a fabulous week here in early October.”

It’s a spotlessly clean, comfortable little bungalow. Set in wonderful countryside it was very peaceful and quiet, just what we wanted. It was lovely to see Herbie the horse being looked after in the stables close by and frolicking in the paddock. The visits from little Puzzle the dog each day were a joy. Many thanks to owners Karen and Campbell for their hospitality. They are lovely people and very informative.

“Willow Barn - Cucklington, Wincanton.”

A very comfortable, immaculate and well equipped accommodation with every home comfort. Peace and tranquility, ideal for us, while searching potential areas for future retirement relocation in Somerset or Dorset. Chris J Hayling Island.

“My Wife, Son and I really enjoyed our stay at Willow Barn.”

A perfect base for us to enjoy all that the West Country has to offer. The property was spacious and equipped with everything needed to enjoy both short breaks and anything longer. I wouldn’t hesitate in returning ourselves or recommending Willow Barn to others.

“Stayed for 3 weeks whilst between house moves, absolutely lovely.”

Great quiet location, stunning views, and a joy to watch Herbie in the paddock opposite enjoying his retirement from international eventing. Cottage was all we could have asked for, well equipped, very comfortable and cosy. Short drive to Wincanton or Gillingham for supermarket shopping, close to Longleat and National Trust properties. Easy day trips to the Jurassic Coast. Karen and Campbell were perfect hosts, and we made friends with their little dog Puzzle. Would highly recommend a stay here.

“Lovely cottage in a tramquil setting.”

The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything you need. The information pack had some great ideas for days out, lots of National Trust properties nearby and near enough to the coast for a day out. Would definately recommend a stay at Willow Barn.

David July 2022

“Karen & Campbell made us most welcome, the proprty was superb in all respects.”

Anything that we wished to know, whether it be about the property or places to visit, they were a font of knowledge. Though we were primarily visiting friends and family this is a very good location for visiting National Trust propertys, or the seaside with Weymouth and Durdle Door all a reasonable distance away. Also plenty of places to have walks and to eat out. We will be going back!

Thank you! We loved meeting you. Property Owner

Friendly and knowledgeable owners provided lots of information on things to do in the area. So much to see as located on the Dorset/Somerset border, conveniently located to explore both counties.

We found the cottage to be one of the best we have stayed in (this comment is not restricted to Sykes), so warm and cosy, the grounds and surrounding areas had some amazing views, enjoyable, despite the weather. Would definitely recommend and we will hopefully return in the future

The property

Tucked away in the Somerset countryside close to the borders of Dorset and Wiltshire, Willow Barn is the larger part of a delightfully converted dairy, peacefully located on the outskirts of the village of Cucklington.

Approached by a sweeping drive past lawns and paddocks, the owners’ stables and a lovely pond with tinkling waterfall teeming with fish.

This semi-detached dairy conversion offers delightful accommodation for up to four guests, benefiting from open-plan living and south-facing views of the surrounding countryside.

Enter via the glazed stable door into a well-equipped country-style kitchen with all you need for a self-catered stay.

Serve a delicious meal at the dining table or enjoy a morning feast at the breakfast bar whilst discussing plans for the day ahead.

Relax on the patio with a refreshing drink and watch the sun set whilst listening to the peaceful sounds of the countryside.

Two big comfy sofas are the perfect place to curl up with a book, listen to music or catch your favourite TV show.

The comfortable, pretty double bedroom with built in wardrobe and the cosy twin room are the perfect place for a restful night’s sleep.

Visit Stourhead, north of Willow Barn, and discover the majestic palladian mansion and beautiful world famous landscape gardens run by the National Trust.

The magnificent lake is central to the design at Stourhead, with the lakes edge being adorned with classical temples, enchanting grottos and rare and exotic trees.

Why not make the pretty journey to Glastonbury with its ancient Tor and legends of King Arthur or head into the small yet charming town of Wincanton, only 3 miles away, for all of your local amenities including shops and eateries.

Longleat Safari Park and The Cheddar Gorge & Wookey Hole are all within a 1 hour drive making Willow Barn the perfect base to which explore this unique area.
