Relaxing stay
My husband and I stayed on Saturday 27th November. We stayed in the four poster bedroom. The room was amazing. My husband had just finished a night shift so it was the relaxing stay that we needed. We were greeted by Liz and the service she offered was impeccable. The breakfast was delicious with such a beautiful view of the countryside! I would definitely recommend!

This is the place to really get away from it all, enjoy great accommodation, and a yummy breakfast watching a woodpecker and other countless birds outside of the window.

A lovely place to stay
It's hard to criticise this place. It's got everything you need and its a nice place to stay. Comfortable, clean, nice location, nice food and friendly atmosphere. Only very minor issue was wifi would not connect.

Beautiful location and lovely owner
We loved our stay at The Old Dairy. The setting is stunning, with expansive country views from the property. Liz is a wonderful host, who serves the best breakfast I've had at a b&b - homemade bread every day, and vegetarian options that actually taste great!! The room was characterful and comfy as well.

Old Dairy
The Old Dairy is run by a woman who was friendly and accommodating but her husband made us feel very unwelcome, both on the evening we arrived and again on the following morning. We felt like we were a nuisance, invading his home. Also our room had no lock on the door and the bathroom was down a public hallway. The room was comfortable and the breakfast good but we wont be returning

Great place
Great find, it's off the beaten track but that's no bad thing... It was a stop on the way back from Cornwall to Cheshire, I'd recommend it to families. The room was comfortable for our family of four inc 4th month old. Our host could not have done more to make us feel welcome and accommodate our every need.

Top notch B&B
Fabulous location and a really comfortable, clean and luxurious B&B. Our first floor suite was stunning - spacious yet cosy with lovely views. Lots of homey touches and attention to detail. Lovely breakfast, friendly owners - everything was spot on. We live fairly close by, but two nights at the Old Dairy really felt like a proper holiday.

1st time visit to The Old Dairy at Bishops Barton
Hopefully I will get a chance to stay again as it's the best b+b I've ever stayed at. A warm welcome was followed by a smooth check-in. Breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked. The view was lovely whilst sitting eating my scrambled eggs. Bed comfy and room very clean. Wish i could have stayed longer.

Dave Thanks so much for your fantastic feedback. We wish you could have stayed longer too and look forward to seeing you and the family again, Liz

Cosy and friendly
We stayed there between Christmas and NY. The village is beautiful and the views are breathtaking. The only downfall is that there is no local pub anymore (was closed down in Nov16) The location of the village is convenient if you fancy doing a bit of exploring of the area, we drove one day around south of Devon and north on the other. Liz and Steve welcomed us warmly, breakfast was delicious and we would definitely recommend the place.

Beautiful location, great hosts
The location is absolutely stunning with views of the Quantocks in every direction. We spent time exploring the beautiful gardens before being shown to our family room in the main house. Our hosts were very welcoming and recommended a very special place for dinner - Pizza in the Woods. A 15 minute walk away and like nowhere else I've ever been to! Highly recommend The Old Dairy for a couple or family - the most relaxing place you will ever stay in.

Pleasant B&B but be aware of card charges
Very pleasant B&B, would happily stay again. Only disappointment was they charge a 3% surcharge for paying by credit card, which is not stated on Hotels website. If I had known that I would have paid online via Hotels website rather than at the B&B.

Relaxation at its best
We stayed at this B&B for 3 nights, they've literally thought about everything for you. From the little things like toiletries in case you've forgotten anything to a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks at very reasonable prices. They have crisps and chocolate if you fancy something once you've got back after a long day, again, at very reasonable prices. There's a massive field out back, which we had family games on, we spent quite a few hours up there playing, it really was lovely. The views are also something else. You can literally see for miles on a good day. The gardens are really well kept, you can see there's a lot of hard work gone into them. Liz & Steve work really hard to make your stay as pleasurable as possible. It's a relaxed place to be and nothing is too much trouble. We would highly recommend this establishment to anyone wanting to stay in the area, we are really pleased we stayed here and hope to again in the future.

Fantastic B&B
A lovely night away, which I booked to break up the long drive to Cornwall for me and my family. It ended up feeling like part of the holiday. I booked the junior suite, which had an impressive en suite. The room had a luxury feel and was very spacious despite the extra beds. Liz goes above and beyond, even lending us the cash for our meal reservation 'cos we forgot to go to a cashpoint. She made my young children very welcome too, which is always reassuring. Would definitely recommend.

Thanks for your lovely review Kate. We do make a great stopover for those long journeys to Cornwall. You're little ones were a delight and we look forward to welcoming back for another sleepover!

Great B & B!
We were visiting the area for a wedding and struck lucky with choosing the Old Dairy to stay at. The room is large with all the mod cons of a 4 star hotel, a separate sitting area and a bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. Liz and Steve were the most welcoming of hosts and Liz's breakfasts were a highlight! They also provided great tips for places to eat in the area and we had a splendid evening at the Culm Valley Inn :)

Thanks Mark for your very kind comments and being the first to review us at Hotels.com - we've now got our premises licence so next time you come you'll be able to enjoy a G&T in the afternoon or a cool beer when you're back from the Culm Valley !. We look forward to seeing you again
