“Review for Basswood Barn - A Perfect Home Away from Home Our 7-night stay at Basswood Barn was nothing short of exceptional.”

Fred, the owner, who had clearly put immense thought into ensuring that every detail was taken care of. The cleanliness of the barn was outstanding—everything was spotless, making us feel immediately comfortable and at ease. It truly felt like a home away from home. The cozy ambiance, combined with the well-equipped amenities, meant we had everything we could possibly need during our stay. Farmer Fred had thought of everything. From the fully stocked kitchen to the plush linens and the little personal touches scattered throughout the barn, it was evident that our comfort and satisfaction were top priority. We particularly appreciated the local tips and recommendations that made exploring the surrounding area a breeze. Overall, Basswood Barn provided a peaceful and relaxing retreat, with the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. We would highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a serene getaway, and we look forward to returning in the future!

Nigel July 2024

“We arrived to a beautifully furnished and prepared house.”

It was such a relaxing stay and we loved having the fields around us. Supermarket within a couple of miles and a petrol station right on main road out. This has been one of our favourite properties and we definitely would stay again. First class.

- Nigel, July 2024
Linda July 2024

“A clean and well-maintained cottage.”

We found it very comfortable and fully equipped with every item one could reasonably wish to find in a holiday cottage. The owner, Fred, made us most welcome and allowed the children together with me and my daughter to "visit" his cows. He also allowed the children to have use of the (toy) dumper truck and trailer whilst we were there. My partner and I will certainly visit again, as will my daughter, since its location is so convenient for Stourhead and The Newt.

- Linda, July 2024
Julie June 2024

“Basswood was a delight to stay in.”

We had the best time. It provided us with the perfect base so we could explore and visit so many great places from only 14mins to 1hour away there was so much choice. The property had everything and more included very clean and modern. We will be back.

- Julie, June 2024
Graham June 2024

“We have just returned home from a fabulous week at Basswood barn, a fabulous minimalist/Scandi conversion that has everything you could need whilst on holiday.”

A lovely approach to the cottages through two fields of the most magnificent cows, no seriously! Located in Wincanton it is the perfect location for travelling around the many local historical sights. couldn't recommend it highly enough.

- Graham, June 2024
Paul June 2024

“The property is very well equipped is modern light and airy, any queries were dealt with promptly.”

The property is ideally located for exploring the area in any direction with plenty to do without going too far. I personally would have preferred to look out onto the hedge not the fence.

- Paul, June 2024
Raymond May 2024

“We have stayed in a lot of Sykes rentals over the years an this is easily the best we have stayed in.”

The facilities are 5* + very modern well equipped with excellent quality bedding towels ect. Lovely seating area outside in a lovely patio area and lawns maintained by Rodney lol the robot. Even though this is situated on a working farm there is absolutely no noise or sense of work going on. Will definitely return and recommend Basswood Barn to all Kyra & Raymond and of coarse Heidi woof woof

- Raymond, May 2024

Thank you Raymond for that amazing feeback. Pleasure to meet you and we are thilled you all enjoyed your stay. Rodney (his new name) does a fantatic job and keeping the lawns tidy. We very much looking forward to welcoming you back to Basswood Barn. Property Owner
Frances May 2024

“We had a really lovely 3 night break at Basswood Barn.”

We couldn’t fault anything about it. An ideal base from which to explore the local area. We visited Stourhead House and Gardens, Lytes Carey Manor, Tintinhull Gardens, and Wells. All very lovely. Basswood is a beautiful barn conversion done very tastefully and to a very high standard. The mattress in the downstairs bedroom was the most comfortable I have slept in; so much so that I’ve asked the owners where I can buy one! We were incredibly lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy time relaxing in the garden, which is an absolute sun trap. 5* all round.

- Frances, May 2024
Mark April 2024

“Basswood Barn is an exceptional property.”

Spotlessly clean, spacious and fitted out with everything you could possibly need. Fixtures and fittings were also of the highest quality. The location is perfectly central for visiting many historic properties and gardens. Welcome basket with local produce, including cheese made at the farm was much appreciated. Thank you.

- Mark, April 2024

Thank you Mark for you fantastic feedback. We are very fortunate to be located in such a wonderful area. We are pleased you enjoyed your welcome pack and found everything you could need within Basswood Barn. Property Owner

Sue April 2024

“Immaculate accommodation.”

Spacious, light and beautifully presented. Fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality. Every detail has been thought about. Fred was always helpful and friendly making himself available even when he was busy on the farm. All requests and queries prior to our stay were quickly answered and in place for our arrival. One of the best self catering places we’ve stayed in.

- Sue, April 2024

Wendy March 2024

“Basswood Barn is wonderful!”

It is extremely clean and well-maintained. The kitchen has everything you could need for preparing meals. There was a small issue with the blinds, but Fred sorted it very quickly, and checked that everything was working well. The outside area is welcoming, however the weather did prevent us from utilising it. Our teenage son mentioned the WiFi is extremely good, better than we have at home apparently! The location is great too. Easy to travel to Stonehenge, Longleat, Weymouth. Shops and fast food outlets are about one mile away, so easy to shop and have a takeaway. We would definitely recommend Basswood Barn.

- Wendy, March 2024

Thank you Wendy for you kind and useful feeback. Im pleased you reached out to myself to help you with your blind. This has now been resolved, it was due to a faulty motor. The fibre broadband supplied by Wessex Interenet is a huge bonus to holiday let accomotions. Thank you again for recommending Basswood Barn Property Owner
Sonya March 2024

“Cottage was absolutely gorgeous.”

Even bigger and better than the photos. Back fence has a large gap at the bottom I assume for the robot mower so I messaged the owners asking if they had any chicken wire or netting to stop the dog getting out and the next day they had put a temporary fence up. Would definitely recommend.

- Sonya, March 2024

Thank you very much for your positive comments. Its no bother at all to help with any problem. You'll be pleased to know, both Basswood and Linden can now be fully dog proofed with tempory boarding which can easily be erected and dismantled to allow the mower to do his job, whilst creating a safe place for your dog to roam. Property Owner
Kim March 2024

“Another perfect stay from Sykes!”

Property was superb in every way, clean, comfortable, well equipped. All round high quality accommodation and great location for exploring the area.

- Kim, March 2024

Thank you very much for you positive review. We are so pleased you had the perfect break away. We are glad you were able to enjoy Somerset and surround areas from Basswood Barn. Property Owner
Adam December 2023

“Just superb!”

It was a privilege to stay in Basswood. The attention to detail is incredible. This is, without a doubt, the best property I've ever stayed in. The kitchen contained every utensil you could possibly think of. The living room was even more spacious than it appears in the photos. The bathrooms were immaculate. The welcome hamper was filled with local treats, including cheese made using milk from the farm.

- Adam, December 2023

Thank you so much Adam for your amazing review, it makes all the work myself and the team put in, worth it if we can create such a wonderful stay for you and your family. You're welcome back to Basswood any time. Property Owner
Leigh October 2023

“Absolutely fantastic barn conversion.”

Everything we could want/think of was supplied, even things we'd never had in a holiday let before (the 'boot box' was brilliant!). Can't recommend Lime Tree Barn highly enough, definitely would return.

- Leigh, October 2023

Thank you so much for your positive review. My wife insisted on the boot boxes and they are an excellent and useful addition. We very much look forward seeing you here at Lime Tree Barn again in the future. Property Owner

“An amazing property, no expense spared.”

Everything you need in the kitchen and more. Bathrooms were gorgeous and the beds very comfortable. Spotlessly clean. Lovely welcome pack. Great base to visit local attractions and NT houses. We have used Sykes 25+ times and this has to be in the top 3 for quality and price. Brilliant.

“Absolutely beautiful property, and so well equipped.”

I was so impressed. There was cutlery, cups and plates for my young children. Beautiful finish to everything. I would definitely come back. My youngest daughter wanted to move in and to to be honest I wouldn't be against the idea. Thank you for a great stay

Iain David August 2023

“This was a luxurious let, one of three in Limetree Barn.”

It was extremely well appointed and the master bedroom has a very comfortable en suite. The open plan living space was larger than we expected; airy, light and calm. The kitchen was well equipped. We drive an EV and we were reassured to find that each of the lets had its own charger which you pay for separately using the Energy Park app.

- Iain David, August 2023

Thank you Iain for you kind feeback. We are pleased you had all you needed for your stay at Basswood barn. Energy Park have been fantastic in setting up EV charge points for each property. Property Owner

“What an absolutely luxurious stay we had at Basswood.”

Everything we could possibly need was there. The kitchen was so well equipped, the beds were super comfortable upstairs and down, the living area was stunning. The air con in the bedroom was amazing and we loved the cheese and biscuits that were left as a welcome gift. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

- Danny, July 2023

Thank you so much for kind review. We are very much pleased you enjoyed the cheese, made from the cows milk produced on the farm. Property Owner
