About this property
Self-Catering Cottage near Wells/Glastonbury.
Swallow Barn at is a lovely barn conversion that is not too big for couples and just right for families😍.
The sitting room has comfortable seating for 6 people. One of the seats (a single armchair) is on a slightly raised platform to help anyone who has trouble getting up and out of a nice comfy chair! There is a characterful inglenook fireplace with a log burner- it's overhead beam came from an old ship.Your first basket of logs is included but subsequent logs must be purchased.
The dining room has a wheel under table and 6 chairs. Groceries can be delivered on day of arrival but please check I am here to take delivery. If you don't feel like cooking you can book to breakfast with our other guests.The kitchen is multi-functional: two heights of work top, adjustable height sink, cooker, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washer/dryer.
All bedrooms are en-suite. On the first floor the bedrooms have lovely views across to the Mendip Hills. Equipped with touch lighting and flat screen Smart TV (no DVD). Towels and flannels are provided. The twin ground floor bedroom has a huge en-suite (roll in shower, two wash basins at different heights and WC). Shower seating, static and mobile can be provided free of charge, if required. The ground floor area can be adapted to suit most accessible needs without becoming clinical and losing it's homely charm. Flat screen TV/DVD.
Outside Swallow Barn you have a dedicated patio area with table and chairs, a car set down area, and two parking spaces in our main car park.The main garden and Games Room are available to all guests. The village playing field which is only a 5 minute walk away and there are plenty of footpaths in the village for short strolls.
Complimentary local apple juice, orange juice, milk, beverage tray and cream tea/cake on arrival will get you off to a great start. We hope you feel welcome!
Please note, no pets allowed.
🟢WEEKLY RATES AVAILABLE ONLY WHEN BOOKED BY TELEPHONE🟢
Our seasonal licensed Tea Room serves delicious home-baked goodies and beverages. We also offer our BBQ Hut for private hire in the evenings, which would be a memorable experience for guests staying at Double-Gate Farm.
The farmhouse's ground floor areas are wheelchair accessible, and the Master en-suite is on the first floor. Our Riverside Rooms are all located on the ground floor, extra large, and have a patio facing south over the river, ceiling fans, refrigeration, and super big wet rooms. They are ideal for couples, families, and groups with flexible and spacious options.
We have additional cottage-style en-suite rooms located in Swallow Barn, including cosy doubles and an accessible ground-floor twin. Although Swallow Barn is no longer inspected by Visit England Assessment Services for B&B purposes, our other B&B accommodations remain in the scheme. It is still inspected by the AA for B&B and Self-Catering purposes to ensure that it remains at a high standard.
If you plan to holiday with your dog, kindly call us before booking to confirm the availability of our two dog-friendly rooms. We do not allow pets in rooms that are not designated as pet-friendly.

About the host

Hello everyone,
We are a family-owned Bed and Breakfast with seasonal Tea Rooms situated in the heart of the Somerset Levels. Our establishment is small and friendly, and we take pride in ensuring that our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
My husband Steve and I have three young boys who are passionate about cricket. During the summer months, they can often be seen rushing off to training or a match in their cricket whites. I enjoy reading and spending a few moments in our beautiful garden during the summer.
Our family loves meeting new people, and we especially enjoy welcoming other families to stay with us. We guarantee that you will not leave Double-Gate with an empty stomach! Our breakfasts are quite popular, and our home-cooked meals and the Afternoon Tea, which is our speciality and is served in our Tea Rooms, are absolutely delicious.
When you arrive, we'll greet you with a cup of tea and some cake to sample. We kindly ask that you arrive by 6pm if you would like to enjoy this treat.
We can't wait to meet you!
Debbie and Family
