About this property

Rural Retreat - Superb Barn Conversion in a Beautiful Garden

The Beanacre Barn offers award winning self-catering holiday accommodation. Set in the beautiful Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), in Somerset, England, the Beanacre Barn is an exceptionally spacious, open beamed barn which has been imaginatively converted and beautifully furnished by the present owners. Designed for 2 persons, with the added flexibility of the quality sofa-bed for your short stay visitors, the Barn combines modern facilities and great comfort with a traditional style in a peaceful setting. Equipment and furnishings are of the best quality. The Barn has full central heating and free internet access is available.

# # Please note: As well as Weeks we offer WEEKEND (3 nights) and MID-WEEK (4 nights) Breaks, however due to the limitations of this Owners Direct website we are unable to show the prices for these breaks here. Please contact us directly or see our own website ( for best rates and full details. # #

The Barn's walled cottage-style garden, which is for your exclusive use, is a particularly outstanding feature, providing a secluded and peaceful place in which to relax. There is ample car parking space directly outside the Barn.

The Barn is located on the edge of the village of Binegar on top of the Mendip Hills, 4 miles north of the remarkable cathedral city of Wells. Historic Bath and Bristol are both only 13 miles away and there is a wealth of places of interest to visit nearby. Places such as mystical Glastonbury Tor and its ancient Abbey amid the Somerset Levels and the towering Cheddar Gorge with its caves. There are many stunning National Trust properties all within 30-40 minutes drive.

We are unable to accommodate children under 12 years old.
We do not accept pets.

Beanacre Barn
Warm welcome from gracious hosts who offered us tea on arrival and an interesting chat about places to visit. The barn is spotlessly clean, lovely setting, private garden - very cosy. We loved the peace and were happy to come back to the barn after days out. Highly recommended - would definitely return.

Perfect rural retreat
The property was spotlessly clean on arrival and is equipped with everything you will need including a TV in the lounge and bedroom. The hosts Susan and Tony were terrific. They took time to advise on the best places to eat and nice places to visit - all over a welcome cup of tea during the meet and greet. A great find for a great holiday.

From the towering Cheddar Gorge, the ancient pathways of the Quantock and Mendip Hills, the Georgian city of Bath with its Roman Baths, to mystical Glastonbury Tor and it's Abbey amid the wildlife haven of the Somerset Levels, numerous National Trust properties, and the fine cathedral city of Wells (our local town), Somerset offers a wealth of spectacular natural, archeological, cultural and historical attractions for all tastes and ages.
Can you wonder that we encourage you to take a break in the Beanacre Barn and to explore this "Jewel of the South-West".
