The Long Barn

Dorset & Somerset

National Quality Awards

Pontispool Farm, Taunton, Somerset

Set in the heart of the Vale of Taunton Deane, with views to the Quantock Hills on one side and the Blackdowns on the other, the Long Barn at Pontispool is the ideal holiday retreat for up to 12 people.

The newly converted barn lies in the middle of a 450 acre estate, where the family indulges its passion for horses.

The house has every 21st century convenience. Gas central heating radiates warmth in winter, whilst in the main living area, a wood burner adds additional ambiance.

The Long Barn has the highest standards of furnishings, fixtures and fittings. There are 6 large bedrooms, all en-suite which can accommodate up to 12 people comfortably. All the bedrooms can have double or twin beds depending on your preference. The large kitchen is well equipped, but you don’t feel you have to use it: caterers can be supplied if required.

Despite its rural location, the Long Barn is close to transport links. It is 15 minutes from Taunton railway station and the same from Junction 25 of the M5 motorway. If you want to do more than relax in the hot tub in the sunny garden, admiring the views, Somerset provides a wealth of possibilities. There are lovely country pubs, Exmoor is nearby, and the barn is situated on a national cycle route. The excellent Oake Manor Golf Club is a couple of miles away and the North Devon Coast is less than an hour away. Ideal for a holiday or a short break, the Long Barn is the perfect country retreat for you, your friends and your family.
