Red Tiles Barn, Stoney Stratton, Evercreech, Somerset

Red Tiles Barn is a homely holiday cottage situated in the picturesque Somerset countryside, just a mile from Evercreech on the outskirts of the farming hamlet of Stoney Stratton. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush pastures, this getaway offers a peaceful escape with easy access to local footpaths and scenic walks starting right from the doorstep.

Originally built at the end of the 19th century as a milking barn, Red Tiles Barn has been thoughtfully converted to provide comfortable self-catering accommodation for up to four people while retaining much of its original character and rustic charm. Its unique features and modern amenities create a welcoming space for a relaxing countryside break.

On the ground floor, the cottage features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area designed for comfort and convenience. The kitchen is well-equipped with essential appliances, including a microwave, freezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher, radio/CD microsystem, and iPod docking station. The living area includes a TV and DVD player, perfect for relaxing evenings indoors. The ground floor also includes a fully tiled bathroom with a bath, an overhead power shower, and underfloor heating for added comfort.

Upstairs, the two beautifully furnished bedrooms showcase the barn’s original beams and a separate wardrobe area. The main bedroom features a double bed, while the second bedroom is set up as a twin, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for families or friends.

Red Tiles Barn is equipped with a range of thoughtful extras to enhance the guest experience. These include a selection of books, maps, fictional reads, DVDs, toys, table games, and puzzles. Families with young children will appreciate the availability of a folding cot, high chair, booster seat, potty, and a safety gate for the stairs, as well as indoor and outdoor toys. A lockable shed is also provided for bicycle storage, making the barn an excellent base for cycling enthusiasts.

Outside, guests can enjoy the peaceful countryside setting with a BBQ for al fresco dining during warmer months. The area’s rural charm and tranquillity provide a perfect backdrop for relaxation and outdoor adventures.

Stoney Stratton’s location near the southern edge of the Mendip Hills makes it a convenient base for exploring Somerset’s many attractions.
