It was very comfortable, extremely clean and we had everything that we needed. The cream tea, tissues, cereals and milk and tea were a thoughtful and much appreciated addition. We would definitely stay here again.

Very clean, good facilities & a generous welcome pack. Shippon Barn is in a great location being only 2 miles from Yeovil & near to other towns such as Sherborne & Dorchester & National Trust/ English Heritage places of interest. The coastal towns of Weymouth & Lyme Regis are also less than an hour away. I would recommend Shippon Barn as a place to stay when visiting Somerset & Dorset.
