We have just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable stay at ‘The Barn’ and would recommend it to anyone wishing to visit this beautiful area. ‘The Barn’ , a spacious property, sits on the edge of Exmoor and the view from the house is stunning! There are three sitting arias; a kitchen/lounge, a conservatory/dining room and a patio, all with ample seating, and there is also a garden area. The whole house is beautifully maintained, and Luke has supplied everything you might need. Also he is easily contactable if the need arises. The quaint village of Monksilver has ‘The Notley Arms’ pub and restaurant, an easy five minute walk away. We cannot praise ‘The Barn’ highly enough.—-We will be back!
We found the barn with no problem and entered the property using a handy and easy to use key safe. The house was warm and inviting and there was a lovely gift from our hosts in the kitchen. The property was extremely clean and comfortable with all that we needed - including a pint of milk which came in really handy as ours was forgotten. Our sons loved the games and the books and the TVs in each room were a real treat. The garden was a great safe space for our boys and our dog allowing us to enjoy a glass of wine as they had a run around. We had a lovely meal in the pub and a brilliant day at Dunster Castle. We will definitely be staying again and would highly recommend to others.

Monksilver is a pretty village on the eastern fringe of the Brendon Hills, between Watchet and Wiveliscombe. The village is so small that it has the distinction of the smallest parish council in Somerset.
HISTORY
The village name has nothing to do with silver; it comes from the Latin 'silva', meaning woodland, so the name really means 'Monk's Wood'. The monks in question came from the Priory at Goldcliff in Monmouthshire, founded in the early 12th century by Robert and Isabella de Chandos.
Henry I persuaded Robert de Chandos to grant his new priory to the powerful Abbey of Bec in Normandy, and it is possible that masons from Bec were responsible for some of the stonework of Monkslver's 12th-century parish church.
The church, dedicated to All Saints, stands on a rise over Front Street in the centre of the village. The historical highlight inside the church is a set of outstanding medieval bench ends carved with figures of animals, birds, foliage designs, and a pagan Green Man symbol.
The church also boasts one of just 21 wooden eagle lectern is England. Near the altar is a richly carved stone altar table that may have been used as an Easter Sepulchre.
The village has a history as a centre for cloth-making, and that heritage survives in local field names.
Near the church is the Notley Arms Inn, a historic pub. The pub as we see it today is a result of a 19th-century restoration but the building itself is much older.
There are 2 parking spaces available next to the Barn.
