Welcome to The Barn – A Rural Retreat with Heart

Nestled at the northern edge of Draycot Cerne, a charming hamlet just five minutes from Junction 17 of the M4, The Barn is more than just a place to stay—it’s a place to belong. For over 20 years, this beautifully restored farmstead has been a cherished family home, offering an idyllic countryside escape where multi-generational families, friends, and reunions can come together in a truly special setting.

Surrounded by rolling fields, The Barn is part of a working farm home to two flocks of pedigree sheep and a host of friendly farmyard animals, making it the perfect blend of peace, nature, and rural charm. Whether you’re seeking a countryside getaway, a base for exploring the Cotswolds, or a space to reconnect with loved ones, The Barn welcomes you with open arms.

A Thriving Hub for Local Businesses

Over the years, The Barn has evolved, embracing a diverse range of artisan businesses, sustainable farming, and bespoke accommodation. More than just a farm, it’s a bustling rural hub, where creativity and tradition meet. Whether it’s handcrafted goods, farm-fresh produce, or rural enterprises, The Barn is a place where local businesses thrive.
