Exclusive Horseshoe barn venue with accommodation

The Horseshoe Barns are 17th Century Grade II listed cow sheds in a semi-circular design now refurbished into a unique venue for a variety of uses. They have been beautifully restored and modernised to accommodate and these Eco Barns are furnished with rustic charm. Utilising reclaimed timbers, wood from the farm, wool insulation and coir matting there is a wholesome blend of natural materials to create a homely space for your group to escape the rigours of everyday life.

Under-floor heating throughout

Professional-standard, fully kitted-out catering kitchen

Private bar area to use as you wish fitted with fridges, filter coffee machine, urn and dishwasher

The Horseshoe barns are all one building with connected rooms. The layout of the barns, from left to right, starts with Wren Cottage (see below) leading through a hallway with washroom into Hive Hall which is normally the main function space. Another hall with washroom lets out to the bar, which leads through to the dining area and adjoining catering kitchen. All rooms have direct access to the courtyard outside with a large fire pit area.

Under sheets, pillows, and pillowcases are provided, you will need to bring your own duvet/sleeping bag & towel (towels stipulated online are referring to hand towels).

Located on the top of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, at the heart of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) we can be found on the main road (B3134) that links Burrington Coombe with the small city of Wells. Just over 5 miles from Cheddar, 20 miles from Bath and Bristol, and 7 miles from Bristol International airport we offer real hilltop countryside within easy reach. Re-established as an eco-farm we manage this site holistically with livestock and visitors throughout the farming and event calendar year.

The farm is 160 acres comprising mainly grasslands with 10 acres of woodland, orchard and kitchen garden. 3000 ewes, 40 cattle, together with woodland pigs are our means to sell quality produce commercially to specialist and local market outlets and offer our visitors zero food and fibre miles with complete transparency and traceability.

Eco Venue with Accommodation: All the original stone building are Grade II Listed and our Horseshoe Barns are currently the main social space here offering a complete versatile venue with accommodation. Converted from the original cow sheds in the authentic horseshoe footprint, this stone barn has been in operation since 2008 and provides a year round safe space, perfect for gatherings whatever the weather.

Using reclaimed building materials, wool insulation, wood cladding and wooden floors, our central heating system is designed to use home-grown logs and capture solar thermal rays whilst incorporating rain water harvesting to flush toilets that feeds our WET System. Throughout the years we have added solar electricity, additional accommodation units, Saloon and Loft facilities and in 2020 we are excited to be able to expand our eco venue offerings.
