Situated in open countryside on the edge of the historic stone village of Beckington, close to Longleat House & Safari Park and the splendid city of Bath, By The Byre Holidays is a collection of charming self-catering accommodation including three three-bedroom cedar lodges.
Farleigh Lodge (named after Farleigh Hungerford Castle) is the middle lodge on our site and is the one closest to our cottages. This spacious lodge features a large open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, designed for comfort and socialising.
The modern, well-equipped kitchen has everything you need—right down to cooking Christmas dinner. Guests can enjoy contemporary entertainment facilities including flat-screen SMART TVs, wireless Bluetooth speakers, and upgraded broadband access. With three bedrooms, there is plenty of space for family and friends.
We pride ourselves on being child-friendly and understand the importance of thoughtful extras that help make your stay feel like a home from home. Wooden cots with proper mattresses are available for babies up to 18 months (with travel cots for older babies), along with bed guards and highchairs. We have a good supply of equipment, so please let us know your requirements before arrival. A selection of outdoor ride-on toys is also available, and guests are welcome to explore the grounds and say hello to our chickens.
Less than three miles away is the vibrant town of Frome, known for its historic buildings, independent shops, and thriving contemporary arts scene. It has been named one of The Times’ “Best Places to Live in Britain.” Frome is also the original Somerset market town, with regular weekly markets and The Frome Independent—a lively monthly summer festival of artisan food, drink, art, design, local produce, plants, homewares, and street entertainment.
A ten-minute drive takes you to the famous Longleat House and Safari Park, where guests of By The Byre can enjoy a 20% discount on one-day tickets. The elegant Georgian city of Bath, with its Roman Baths, museums, cafés, and boutiques, is just 12 miles away. Also within easy reach are attractions such as Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge, and Stonehenge, along with the historic towns of Bradford-on-Avon, Glastonbury, and Wells.
