A lovely, tasteful barn conversion, with everything we needed for our stay. Hosts were next door if we needed anything. The location was very quiet and peaceful, but it didnt take long to drive anywhere, and plenty of footpaths around to explore. Nice outdoor seating area to view the surrounding hills and wildlife.

Brendon Barn is a top quality barn conversation that has been sympathetically restored to provide every comfort you could possibly need for a memorable holiday. Very well equipped kitchen, super comfortable bed and excellent bathroom. However, our favourite part of the property was the lovely upstairs lounge, comfortable sofas, wood burner for whenRead more the days are short and the nights chilly, smart TV and good lighting for reading. The outside area is lovely for relaxing and completely private with a BBQ for those warm summer evenings. Brendon is a delightful village, tucked away from the busy world but with easy access to Lynton and Lynmouth and just 25 minutes from Minehead. We had a lovely stay here and we really hope to be able to return to see more of this lovely part of England. Hide
