Lovely place. The pictures say a thousand words. Really nice visit and the staff are really helpful. Only negative was that it looked a little run down but this could have been due to the extremely hot weather over the past month and things dying back.

Some beautiful gardens and an interesting story behind the houses. Some nice artisan craft shops and a second hand book shop. The cafe was a little disappointing, not a great selection of food. When we were there there was no hot food at all apart from one sausage roll. Coffee was good and we settled for a sandwich.

On arrival there were lots of spaces to park and a lovely man taking people to the entrance if needed! I opted to walk and it wasn't too far. Greeted by a lovely lady who explained where to go. Unfortunately the main house is closed for renovations but it was a great visit nonetheless. Lots to see and lovely little activities for the children. Served very quickly in the cafe and it was their lunch time rush. Lovely coffee. The NT shop is hidden away around the back but again it's a good sized shop. Definitely be back when the main house opens.

Yesterday visited National Trust Barrington, even though the main manor house is closed due to repairs to roof. It was still lovely to see it. Stone house was a more updated home. The grounds was lovely. But would have loved to see inside the main home. Member of staff who gave us a lift down on the buggy was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Barrington court is made of two houses set in an idyllic area of Somerset. There is ample parking just a short walk from the entrance as well as Disable parking which is closer to the gardens and houses. I listened to the history of the houses with a lady at 11:30. she knew a lot about the buildings, their history and showed us the famous staircase from #wolfhall. The gardens are beautiful. I especially liked the White garden. You will also discover what a ha ha is. I enjoyed tea at the…. Most of the young people working there say #SconeAsInGone but not Marcus, though he was nice enough to carry my cream tea outside for me. There are also several local craftsmen that produce the most wonderful artisanal crafts. I left with a ring by Georgetge Silversmith, a bowl by Paul Jessop the potter and some beautiful wood carved cheese block doorstops by Josef. I have to also mention the lovely Claire, at the shop. If the shoe fits the face I remembered the right name! A lovely place for a picnic, or a walk with the dog. I went 4 times in a week and got to explore something different each visit.
