Description from owner
Description
Turn right by the evergreen oak and follow the leafy lane to The Mill Barn. Here on the banks of a gently flowing stream is a secluded retreat. A natural stone barn surrounded by a neat flagstone patio with seatings and green lawn. A lavender-fringed path winds down to a stone bench at the edge of the garden jutting out into the stream where you can sit and dangle toes in the water and spot fish. You may even catch the iridescent blue flashes of the kingfisher darting down the stream. Ideal for viewing the sunset and to relax quietly.
You enter through a vintage oak door into a stunning living/kitchen area that reaches up to the apex. The walls are white and the floors oak. Fresh yellow bar stools at the kitchen island, a medieval chair with stage lighting, a porthole window on the landing and a large wood burner in the corner. The beautiful kitchen at the far end sits under a chunky horizontal wood beam.
The double room downstairs has a cast iron bedstead. Open the Velux in the twin room upstairs for a view over the fields.
A peaceful hideaway where the sound of chirruping birds and babbling water break the silence.
The open plan kitchen-dining–living space is full of light and height. It is tastefully decorated with comfortable furnishings, a large wood burner and lots of original charm. A well equipped kitchen with cooker, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and microwave is conveniently positioned around a centre island. From the living area there are lovely outlooks onto the garden through the large double doors opening up onto the flagstone patio.
The barn accommodates 4 people with a double bedroom on the ground level opposite the bathroom which comprises of a bath and a walk in shower. The beds are topped with down duvets wrapped in pure cotton linen. There is a small utility room next to the bathroom with a washer/dryer and ironing facilities. Upstairs is a twin bedroom with views. The twin beds can be made into a king size double bed.
On the patio there is a seating area for out door dining, BBQ, sun loungers and lovely views over the surrounding countryside.
The village of Keinton Mandeville has a well stocked village shop and one pub all in walking distance. Two farm shops 5 min drive away. There are plenty of pubs serving good food close to The Mill Barn. The old market towns of Castle Cary, Somerton, Glastonbury and City of Wells are near by plus many lovely walks and bike rides to enjoy in the area.
Wild swimming at West Lydford Weir a 15 minutes walk form The Mill Barn. It is a pretty 100m stretch of river running alongside the church lawns between the old bridge and the weir.
Fishing on a small stretch of The Mill Stream by arrangement if the stream is accessible.
Canadian canoe to use on a small stretch of The Mill Stream by arrangement
The Mill Barn is in close proximity to most attraction in central Somerset such as Glastonbury Abbey & Tor, Wells Cathedral, Cheddar Gorge and The National Trust properties Montecute House, Lytes Cary Manor and Stourhead. Fleet Air Arm Museum, Haynes Motor museum and Clarks Village factory outlet are great options for rainy days.

“Relaxing, comfortable and excellent”
What a fantastic place to stay - probably the best equipped rental we’ve ever stayed in. Well equipped kitchen for all of those fantastically relaxing meals in, a marvellous seating area kept toasty by a massive wood burner, then to bed in one of the lovely spacious bedrooms, before a relaxing breakfast on the seats overlooking the mill stream. It may sound like we did nothing but eat and sleep, but that’s not absolutely true. Not really. There are also lots of places to explore locally, and the only real issue is that we didn’t book enough time. The hosts are friendly, close, and nothing is too much trouble. We will be booking another stay sometime soon, and cannot wait to return. Thank you Ann and Tony! We look forward to seeing you again soon
