Jack's Barn has comfortable accommodation for 10 people in 5 bedrooms. There is plenty of private space outside and private parking. It is the biggest of 3 cottages at Lilycombe Farm, which has a 15 metre indoor heated swimming pool, cinema and games room. There are lovely pub walks within this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The cathedral city of Wells is 10 minutes by car, Bath 30 minutes. Good pubs and restaurants and lots to do.

Wonderful New Year break in the countryside

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.
