Excellent host was very accommodating
Had a lovely time host was charming would recommend location, Daisy’s tea room almost opposite is a must especially if you like cakes & cream teas.

Lovely Stay at a Beautiful Property
This is a jewel of a property tucked behind the main street of a very pretty village so close to the Quantocks and Exmoor, yet is quiet and secluded. The garden is a joy - with table and chairs to sit out in good weather. The bed is huge and very comfortable, kitchen well equipped, and the hostess is next door and very friendly and helpful. Close to a 7 day a week late opening shop too!

The Barn review
Very comfortable, pleasant garden to sit in, helpful hosts. A tight squeeze into and out of the parking area but straightforward after doing it once!

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Smeaton

Host profile image
I live in Bishops Lydeard with my husband. Our two children graduated from university recently and are now forging their own careers away from home, one in Dubai and one in London. We enjoy gardening and walking our pet poodle on the nearby Quantock Hills.

Why they chose this property

Bishops Lydeard is a delightful, unspoilt Somerset village with stunning scenery and all the necessary facilities on the doorstep to make life comfortable and easily managed. The Quantock Hills behind the village, teem with wildlife and support herds of deer and Exmoor ponies. The walks are delightful. The peace and quiet of the countryside makes it hard to believe we are only 20 minutes from the town of Taunton, with its mainline railway station and motorway junction.
A perfect place to live or to visit.

What makes this property unique

For those who enjoy an active holiday, there are good golf courses within easy reach. The coast and beaches are within a 20 minute drive and the open vistas of Exmoor and the Quantock and Brendon hills are all around us with miles of open moorland to explore on foot. There is pony trekking available nearby.
It is a haven for naturalists and bird watchers, lepidopterists and photographers.
