Full Description

In 2010, Juston Barn was a traditional, listed 17th-century stone and brick cob barn, built for one of the prosperous farms on this side of Wellington in Somerset. Today it has been lovingly turned into a luxurious holiday house that sleeps 12, retaining charming original features. At the end of its own lane which runs into a gravel drive, the first building you see is the wooden pool house. This houses an 10-metre swimming pool. Beyond it is Jurston Barn itself. There are local pubs within walking distance. The Half Moon in Clayhidon, the Merry Harriers on the Blackdown Hills, The Martlett at Langford Budville and the Globe at Appley are all within a short drive. Jurston Barn is also within walking distance of the pretty market town of Wellington, with its shops including proper butcher, baker, grocer, award-winning fishmonger, and even Waitrose.

The Accommodation

Huge double doors, which used to allow in whole hayricks, are now glassed and help form a superb glass-fronted entrance. Inside, the glass roofed dining area has a table that seats up to 14. Kitchen units house dishwashers, microwave, larder and large kitchen range cooker. The kitchen is handmade by Mike Taylor Designers of Knightsbridge. A staircase from the dining area leads upstairs to three bedrooms all with en-suites, 2 showers and 1 with a bath and over head shower. All have zip and link beds so can be doubles or twins. A large living area comes off the dining area and leads through to the 3 downstairs en-suite bedrooms, with 2 wet rooms and 1 with a bath and overhead shower. You also have the large games room where another staircase leads to a snug area on a mezzanine floor. This games room includes a pool table and table football at one end and snuggly sofas around the stylish woodburner at the other.

Further Details

Jurston Barn may be nearly 400 years old but to stay here is to take advantage of every comfort the modern world can offer. The accommodation itself is large, attractive, well-equipped and spacious with stone floors and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, with central heating upstairs. There are televisions in all bedrooms with larger screens in the living room and the games room. The house has Sky, WiFi, and an iDock.

Amazing house! Catered for our every need. With the jacuzzi and pool it felt more like a spa! Thank you so much.
Dan Thompson and Friends - London

Thank you. Had a lovely time. Beautiful house and swimming pool. Will definitely come back again.
Mrs Davis - Weymouth

Jurston Barn is the most exceptional we have seen since we booked Sleeps12 properties back in 2008. I cannot see how they can better such a property in terms of sheer luxury and space. We thank the owners for their kindness.

About Somerset

The county of Somerset is situated in South West England and is a county associated with the Arthurian legend and in particular the legend of the Holy Grail. It is also a largely rural county and many traditional crafts can still be found in evidence such as basketry, cheese making and the production of strong apple cider! Somerset's county town is Taunton and the county has two cities; the Georgian splendour and Roman baths at Bath and England's smallest cathedral city in Wells. Other major towns include Bridgewater, Yeovil, Frome and the seaside resorts of Minehead & Weston-super-Mare.

Somerset is a county of contrast, with the flat expanses of the Somerset Levels interspersed with ranges of hills such as the Mendips and the Quantocks, valleys and gorges such as the Chew Valley and Cheddar Gorge respectively, and vast moorlands such as Exmoor. At its northern edge the Bristol Channel coast can be found while the River Severn passes its western side.

Places to visit include Glastonbury with its spectacular abbey ruins and the town's mystical associations, the caves of Wookey Hole and Cheddar and the stately splendour of the Tyntesfield estate or Barrington Court. Take a leisurely ride on the West Somerset Railway or a trip to the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton to view its vast range of aircraft on show.
