Lots and lots of things to do

Located 2miles from the A303, 15mins from the M5 and just 25mins from both the South Coast (Lyme Regis, Jurassic Coast etc) and the Bristol Channel, we are in the best place to base your exploration of this beautiful part of the country.

Barrington Court Historic village and Tudor Manor house are worth a visit and the town of Ilminster is just 3 miles away with pubs, cafes, great local shops and of course, the Minster.

North, South, East or West, there are great days out and places to see within 30minutes of the Barn.

Head south for a day to breakfast at beautiful Lyme Regis before heading east to West Bay and Bridport. The next, head north to Glastonbury, before taking in Cheddar Gorge and the Quantock Hills. West to Exmoor or east to the shops of Yeovil or deeper into Dorset.

All within easy reach.

The Somerset Flats are a renowned area for cyclists from all over the country. With several SUSTRANS routes passing nearby and secure cycle storage provided, the Barn at Rapps Cottage is a great base to explore Somerset by bike.

Or, if you prefer to go by foot, there are many great walking routes in the area. We provide printouts that you can take with you should you wish.
