We recently stayed at Jacks Barn for a special birthday celebration and would highly recommend. Every detail throughout the property has been carefully considered. The pool is lovely and warm, the children enjoyed having it to themselves! A special thank you to the hosts for including us in their fireworks party!

Excellent comfortable accommodation in a beautiful setting. Central location for exploring Bath, Wells, Cheddar and Wookey Hole.

Swimming pool is well kept, warm and clean and was well used by all as was table tennis and table football. We did not use the cinema room but it is well stocked with dvds for a movie night.

All in all a most enjoyable, relaxing break and will definitely be back.

We all enjoyed a fantastic stay at Lilycombe Farm. We are a party of 16 people and a dog. We are three generations of one family spread between Jack’s Barn and The Garden House.
The host was exemplary and we felt very welcome, we felt that we were able to ask if we required anything and we were left to enjoy the holiday without interruption. Our experience was phenomenal.
The accommodation was beautiful. Jack’s Barn and The Garden House are both beautifully decorated and the attention to detail was extraordinary. The grounds are established areas of sculptured natural beauty. Our experience of the houses and grounds were a cultural artistic delight. My daughter, who uses a wheelchair found her room and wet-room-en-suite in The Garden House to be perfect for her needs and the accommodation gave her the ability to holiday with her family in comfort. The pool was fantastic and used twice daily. The swimming pool booking system worked very well and enabled us to enjoy privacy as a family. The location enabled us to access excellent restaurants, horse riding, cycling, a trip to Glastonbury, a trip to the coast, to take photographs at Wells Cathedral and an extraordinary visit to a novel Mendip Hospital Cemetery (a most unusual choice but a unique experience). There are so many interesting activities within minutes of Lilycombe Farm. The beds were perfect, we are fussy about our “home-comforts” and the size and comfort of the beds and bed linen was beyond excellent! There are sheep to have mutual staring competitions with in an adjacent field on site. Our hosts were happy for us to have food deliveries and the providers were very helpful in carrying the baskets into the house. Lilycombe Farm holiday homes are Five Star Plus and the communication with our hosts was very good indeed. Arabella was tireless in answering my questions by email and her response time was excellent. We had a fantastic week. The three properties, Jack’s Barn, The Garden House and Deer Leap afford privacy from the other houses but are also easily accessible if you are a big group. We are not easily-pleased people and we have high expectations. Our previous family holidays have been very good but speckled with comments about “uncomfortable sleep or insufficient glasses or poor showers and so on” …… I am delighted to report that everyone was fully satisfied by every aspect of our experience at Lilycombe Farm and the overwhelming critique was that this was a perfect holiday venue. Many many thanks to our hosts ! A truly fantastic week.

We decided to book Lilycombe as we were looking for something that was child-friendly, with lots of entertainment, and Lilycombe didn’t disappoint! There was something for everyone; our ages ranged from 70+ to age 2 and so the swimming pool, cinema room and games room were a big hit with the whole family. Especially being able to play music whilst swimming! Jacks Barn and The Garden House were beautiful and spacious. The rooms were clean and the kitchens were stocked with lots of basic essentials such as dishwasher tablets and coffee! It’s really felt like home-away-from-home. There were cute welcome baskets waiting for us when we arrived. Annabel was so lovely to deal with and an added bonus was a hello from Richard on our first morning. There’s clearly been a lot of thought and attention in setting up these properties for families and children, so thank you very much. You made our holiday perfect. We had relatives from New York with us, and they were also blown away. Thanks again and we look forward to visiting you again soon ❤️

We had a wonderful time at Jack’s Barn and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We didn’t want to leave! The grounds are beautiful and the barn so clean and comfortable. The pool is brilliant and was a huge hit with everyone. Lilycombe is a very special place and we highly recommend it.

The owners were also very helpful in answering queries before our stay and ensuring that everything was right for us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lilycombe Farm. Jack's Barn was perfect for 3 families. The kitchen was well equipped. The house was spotless and the facilities were amazing. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the booking system was very efficient. We would definitely recommend the cottage to others and would rebook again.

Wonderful family break in beautiful surroundings. The house was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The pool offered a great activity that was as much fun for the adults as the children, especially as they are young. Lots of things to do in the surrounding area. This is the perfect break destination.

Would recommend a visit to Wells Cathedral and Evensong.

Jack's Barn provided a superb base for a winter break with young children. A huge well equipped kitchen was a lovely hub. The house is configured well, so we enjoyed grown up evenings in front of the fire, while the children were tucked up quietly. The surroundings are wonderful for a mix of outdoor play and indoor splash/swim time. Very relaxing. Would love to return in summer too.

This is the second time we have enjoyed our stay at Lillicombe Farm . We love the property with the heated indoor pool and the cinema. We have a wide age range from 4years to 77years and it suits us all. The children are so excited to go and it provides space for us all to enjoy the weekend. Our hosts could not be more helpful and the property is well positioned for days out. We certainly hope to go again next year if not before. A big Thank you to our hosts!

We are a 3 generation family from 4 to 70+ and stayed at Jack's Barn for a week this Christmas. On arrival the Barn was set up with decorations and a welcome hamper. The accommodation was beautiful with a fully equipped large kitchen and adjoining lounge area complete with wood burning stove, as well as 5 lovely bedrooms with large comfortable beds. The location is rural with fabulous views and only 30 minutes drive to Bath & Frome with beautiful Wells only 15 minutes away. The property has a large indoor swimming pool which the children used each day and there is also a cinema room and games to keep them occupied. The rather damp weather meant we did not fully explore local walks and other outdoor attractions nearby (Cheddar Gorge & Wookey Hole). The owner (Richard) was on site for any queries which he dealt with promptly.
We would thoroughly reccomend Lilycombe Farm and hope to return in the summertime.

We stayed as a group of 3 families with 5 children under 7, and very much enjoyed Jack's Barn and the facilities, with the pool being the most popular, especially on rainy days. The cinema room was also very fun for the kids, and adults. The Barn is very comfortable and much larger than we had expected, particularly the kitchen where the whole group could gather during mealtimes.
The kids also enjoyed discovering the delights of the combe. All in all, a wonderful holiday.

Thank you Jane, Richard and Arabella for making our stay so enjoyable.

18 of us stayed at Jacks Barn and The Garden House for a HenDo weekend which these properties were perfect for. Jacks Barn was stunning and the open space kitchen and living room was great for us all to eat and socialise. The rooms are stunning and beds comfy. We had every room as a twin which was no hassle at all as well as being able to check in slightly early. The location is perfect distance for Bath and just gorgeous scenery surrounding each property. Then the swimming pool, breath taking. Really clear on how to book and operate and made our Sunday incredible. Thanks to Arabella for being so attentive in the lead up to our stay. None of us can stop talking about Lilycombe farm!

We stayed at Lilycombe several years ago for a special family celebration and returned this year for another. It did not disappoint, thus the scores. Small requests on arrival were dealt with promptly and the family were able to fully relax and enjoy our time together. The pool was a big hit as always with the family and we all wished we could have stayed longer!

What a lovely place! Jack's Barn was perfect. From the large table, 2 dishwashers, snuggly sofas and log burner to the swimming pool, everything was as perfect as could be. The cottage was really warm and clean. The pool was outstanding, very private and everything had been thought about (swim nappies in a basket, coloured pins to identify your towel etc). We all had a great time, from the 7 year old to the 80 year old! I hope we'll be back xxx

We recently stayed in Jack's Barn Lilycombe Farm Mon to Fri for our residents annual holiday.
It was chosen because it could accommodate the residents and staff that were supporting, also because it looked so nice and the residents chose it from the ones we had short listed.

When we arrived we were met by Richard who happily gave me a quick tour of the grounds and of Jack's Barn, he explained how to get the heating on if needed etc...

There are 3 on suite bedrooms which were ideal for our residents (two of which are located on the ground floor) the other two bedrooms share a family bathroom.

All the rooms are tastefully decorated with the little touches that make Jack's Barn feel really homely. The kitchen is fully equipped, (if its not there you don't need it).
The grounds are wonderful and very well kept, it was so beautiful to be among nature, everyone found it very relaxing.

Our residents had a fantastic holiday, they want to stay for a week next time, staff enjoyed it too.

Thank you so much Lilycombe Farm, for a holiday to remember, Oak House Residents and Staff.

Jack's Barn offers spacious and luxurious accommodation with very interesting internal and external architectural detailing and exquisite interior decor.
Richard and Jane Clayton are charming hosts. For my family the highlight of the holiday was the use of the large swimming pool.
The extensive grounds are beautifully landscaped with wild woodland walks within a hundred metres. We had a lovely holiday at Jack's Barn.

A party of 10 lads who went for a weekend getaway. Located in the middle of nowhere it can be a little hard to get too. Google maps did the trick for us but the owners sent a quote anyway. At night, it's so dark, you can see the stars in all their glory. If your looking for an isolated getaway, this is your spot. We went into Bath and Bristol for activities during the day each was about 40-45mins drive, which suited us fine. There are shops nearby but we just did a snack run before we arrived.

We arrived quite late on check in, the owners were very accommodating in getting us housed and settled. Jack's barn comprises of 5 double beds (maybe king size beds) in their own bedrooms. Some bedrooms were ensuite too. Their is a spacious living area with a log burner and TV connected to the internet so we could cast YouTube and Netflix media. The sofas are comfortable and stylish.
The kitchen has a massive table that can seat upto 22 (additional chairs stored away) and has everything you would need for a getaway from a gas hob, fridge freezer, grill, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. The finishing and quality of the barn were superb and I would say in a traditional style.

There is a private pool on site, roughly 15mx5mx1.2m, it is in its own building. It has two shower changing rooms, a treatment room if you order external spa treatments and a projector that connects to certain apps to play as you swim (we didn't try - we used the dab radio instead so it played throughout the complex as we swam).

There is also a cinema room. 5.1 Surround sound. It uses an iPad to control the content. You can use DVDs (they have a decent variety) or you can use internet streaming sites. Apply TV is the main host but I managed to use YouTube movies (as my movies are on there) the quality of video and sound was amazing.

All in all, an absolutely brilliant holiday getaway and I can't recommend it enough.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay which was booked for a family celebration of my wife and my 70th birthdays. Sadly Covid intervened and finally at the third attempt got there a year late! We were delighted with our choice.

The property is very comfortable with large bedrooms and allowed our 3 generations (8 adults and 4 small children) to congregate in the spacious lounge (with a wood burning stove) or around the huge farmhouse kitchen table.

Our plan was to spend time together as a family, without feeling that we had to be sightseeing every day. Everyone enjoyed the use of the swimming pool, games room and cinema , all bookable via a very effective online system. The garden area also offered space for the children to play safely. There are documented walks of varying lengths to suit all tastes and abilities.
On those days when we did venture further afield, Wookey Hole, Wells, Clark's Shopping Village at Street and the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton were all within easy access and there are lots of other attractions to visit.

We had a superb holiday and would recommend this property and its excellent hosts Richard and Jane.

Stayed in Jack's Barn and the Garden House for a family celebration (14 of us). Accommodation was very good and both properties very clean and well equipped. The pool was the highlight for the children. We took the owners' advice and booked a chef for the adults one evening which was a real treat. Being in 2 properties we decided to take main meals together in Jack's Barn but breakfast in the properties in which we slept. The properties are in fact some 50 yards apart and we sometimes found what was wanted in one place (such as milk) was in the other, so spent a bit of time walking between the the two. Not a problem but if you book more than one property spend a bit of time planning what you want where! Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Our stay at Jacks Barn ticked most boxes and we were especially fortunate that we saw no rain and enjoyed a succession of warm sunny days.
Our party had four infants and the facilities provided worked very well to cater for them in terms of accommodation, with a great response to cots and high chair requests.
Slight negatives concerned the poor washing facilities insofar as two dishwashers was marginally useful, where specifically for our party, a combination washer dryer was pretty inadequate and slow to cater for our needs. Similarly, the cooking equipment was enormous and might work for twenty people, but left us struggling with our six adults. The induction hob looks amazing but is very underpowered and as a self-catering facility, the equipment lets it down somewhat. Although everything is there, it falls well short of the quality of the rest of the property - the combi-microwave defeated us all.
The pool redeemed everything and was excellent and the local pub, the Litton was a real resource, friendly and welcoming with great food.
Overall, an excellent week

Jack's Barn is a beautiful barn conversion which is really easy to enjoy as a large family group. The interior design is even more refined and imaginative that the photographs suggest. The living spaces and bedrooms are super comfortable and the huge kitchen is fantastic to cook in. We also spent a lot of time in the outside dining and seating area which opens up from the living space in front of the barn and has a great well kept private garden area. The pool is a real highlight - huge, light, perfect temperature, and AV system. The cinema and games room is another well-thought out bonus. Lilycombe is in a beautiful part of Somerset with lots to do on the door step and further afield.

After months of lockdown and unable to see our eldest daughter and youngest son over the Christmas period we decided to treat ourselves instead of gifts to a break away when we where allowed to be together again.
Jacks barn provided us with the space , tranquillity and precious family time to be together again
The barn is beautiful as was the pool and all the thought that had gone into the family games and cinema room was brilliant
We had no problems with booking and using the pool and because we were blessed with amazing weather we played croquet and outside games together as a family . We did have a game of table tennis in the games room and would have happily spent a day using the games room had the weather not been kind
The quietness and beauty of the area was a tonic and we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone abs infact we have since returning home to a number of friends .

Just had a wonderful few days at Jack’s Barn. The barn was well presented and clean with ample towels, seating and crockery. We used the pool several times and the booking system worked well - did not get round to using the cinema room but it looked very nice. Grounds are beautiful. Lots to do locally and good location for many attractions the website gives you lots of ideas. Hosts very helpful beforehand and on site. Would highly recommend a stay here.

As a large family we rented both Jacks Barn and The Garden House to celebrate our Golden Wedding anniversary.
Jacks Barn is stunning with beautiful and very comfortable accommodation.
It is very well equipped with everything we required for the whole family to eat together every day both indoor and outdoor . The large swimming pool was very well used and thoroughly enjoyed as was the cinema room .The children were able to safely play and roam in the large gardens and watch out for the wildlife .
No one wanted to leave at the end of our week ,we will return again and we have already recommended the properties to friends

After lockdown my friends and I were keen to have a weekend away together and Jack's Barn was the perfect venue to host our gathering, we could party or chill, and the pool is exceptional. We hope to have the opportunity to return together or with our families sometime.
Thank you.

Loved our time at Jacks Barn. The location is great - just a few miles from Wells and although restrictions had an impact on local sights we still enjoyed Somerset.

The Barn, cinema and pool were perfect. Four days whizzed by as we enjoyed watching movies, swimming, a warm log fire and local pub food.

Hope to be back soon.

We had a lovely stay at the very comfortable and beautifully designed Jacks barn. A great deal of attention to detail in terms of the quality of the beds and linen made it feel very luxurious. The elevated location was stunning with walks a plenty right out of the door. The annotated OS maps were great, providing local insight and walks we would not otherwise have found. The pool/cinema and games room are brilliant, especially with children and for rainy days.

We really enjoyed our time at Lilycombe, the accommodation is attractive and comfortable, and the pool outstanding. The booking system works really well and enables families to enjoy the pool on their own at convenient times. Jane looked after us well, despite the limitations of COVID we had a relaxing and enjoyable time.

What a fantastic week we had at Jack’s Barn in Chewton Mendip. The house itself was perfect for our family and the 2 bedrooms on the ground floor we’re ideal so our carer could be next door to our daughter’s bedroom without them having to share. The other bedrooms were a great size too. The view and the location are very special. The pool and cinema room on site are great and the owners’ attention to detail is very apparent. If anything needed doing, Jane was really helpful and offered plenty of advice for what to do in the area, although she was never obtrusive and let us get on and enjoy our holiday.

With ten adults and six children aged five and under this was the most magical place to spend Christmas. The pool and games room provided entertainment and exercise, combined with lovely walks and visits to Wells and Glastonbury Tor, and Jacks Barn and Deerleap combined to provide the perfect holiday home for the whole family.

We spent a birthday celebration weekend at the wonderful Jack's Barn, receiving a very warm welcome from the owner. The house is absolutely incredible and as for the pool, well it's even better than in the pictures! The location is great, close to lovely Wells and not too far from Bath, we are looking for our next celebration to give us an excuse to return.

A splendid property. Well managed and very well kept. Superb attention to detail throughout. The owners are interior designers, and the attention to detail is very good indeed. We had a very comfortable stay (family event). The heated pool is just awesome. We also watched a movie in the cinema. Jack's Barn and the facilities is a great venue for families.

Lovely accommodation, very comfortable with plenty of room for all of us. We loved the pool area, especially as we were able to book private time with the family and especially our 2 year old who absolutely loved it. My husband used it every morning! The games and cinema rooms were a hit too. The owners are very friendly. We had a wonderful week looking around, went to Bath, Wells and western super mare all in easy driving distance. We would thoroughly recommend this place to stay.

First time we have stayed at Lilycombe and we will definitely be returning! Jacks Barn was stunning and spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. The pool was beautifully done and very warm so our 2 small children didn’t get cold at all. The play room with all the toys, table football and table tennis was an added bonus when we needed to fill a couple of hours in the rain (for the grown ups too!). There was something for every generation of our family to do, grandparents included as the location is idyllic.
Thank you very much Richard for a wonderful family holiday.

Our extended family of 10 (+ baby) stayed at Jack’s barn to celebrate my father’s 70th - we loved that the interiors were stunning and well thought out, barn was well equipped and surrounded by a beautiful and peaceful landscape.

The birthday man thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the convenience of a number of places to visit nearby (he even suggested extending the stay for another week!)

No expense was spared with the facilities with 2 dishwashers, power showers in all bathrooms and beds that were so comfortable - a few of us had commented how soundly we had slept in spite of being in a new environment.

The pièce de résistance was the large indoor pool - lovely to have a dip in and always set at a nice temperature, with 2 nicely sized shower rooms and plenty of pool seating around to lounge in - we were in the pool nearly everyday with the kids!

Last but not least, we were especially fond of Flora, the new puppy on the block and the affectionate cat, both of whom came to visit and play with the children.

The hosts, Jane and Richard, were very approachable and always happy to help or give advice on places to visit or eat.

Thanks for a brilliant stay and for helping us to make such special memories!

Lilycombe farm is a beautiful place, great for families with kids. The owners are very friendly and warm. Well decorated home, with everything one needs. The only tiny "but"is the cleanliness of the pool side (some dead flies, spider etc on the ground), but than again; it is a farm, so I suppose that's part of the deal. It would be even more perfect if the place had a sauna as well.
All and all it's a place to go back to, to relax and enjoy life. It's impossible not to when you're there.
