About
The Cyder Barn is a care home in West Pennard, a village just east of Glastonbury in Somerset, set on the A361 among green fields and orchards. The home was recently extended and can provide care for up to 40 residents. Most bedrooms have en-suite facilities, and many overlook the surrounding countryside. Residents can relax in a quiet lounge in the old forge or a newly built conservatory, and the home encourages a friendly, communal atmosphere that supports privacy, independence and dignity.
The Care Quality Commission rates the home Requires Improvement overall, in a report published in 2025. Its key questions are rated Good for effective, caring and responsive care, and Requires Improvement for safe care and well-led management.
