Owner profile
About the owner
We live in the heart of somerset. My husband farms a 550 acre award winning farm and we have three daughters. We have a busy and fun way of life and enjoy our surroundings. We have alot of horses which our daughters compete, doing Eventing and Showjumping. We have numerous dogs, chickens, cows and ducks. Our cottage is on the edge of our stableyard with its own private south facing courtyard. We enjoy having guests there and we have found that our guests really enjoy the cottage, they find it well equipped, comfortable and uncluttered. We get very good feedback and many say that they would like to return.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Ellis Barn was converted from a barn in 2006. We have lived in Somerset since our marriage in 1985 and my husbands family for many years prior to that. Our home is in easy reach of A303 and about 1/2hour from the M5. Accessibility to many tourist attractions in the southwest is easy. Yet we are quite remote and generally very peaceful.
Unique benefits of the property
Ellis Barn is well furnished and well equipped and conveniently located not far from the A303. There are many attractions locally and great day trips. Some guests want to relax and spend the day at 'home' and there is plenty of walking straight from the door on private farmland. We have alot of wildlife on the Farm - Deer, Fox, Hare, Rabbit, Badger, and many birds including Buzzards, woodpeckers and owls. We have a hard tennis court which is generally available for use.
