Set on a working 120-acre farm within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this single-storey cottage sleeps six guests, making it suitable for friends and families of all ages. For a relaxing meal away from the kitchen, there are two village pubs within 2.5 miles of the property, which is also surrounded by beautiful walks. Play a round of golf at Cricket St Thomas (9 miles) or head to the market towns of Taunton and Ilminster, both less than 10 miles away, for shops and a choice of places to eat. The National Trust’s Barrington Court and Montacute House are 8 miles and 15.5 miles, respectively. Ideally situated for exploring Somerset, Devon and Dorset, it’s an excellent base for memorable days out.

This thoughtfully renovated barn has been impeccably decorated to blend its former glory with modern touches, making use of attractive colours, timeless parquet floors and vaulted ceilings with original beams. From the entrance hall, enter the elegant living space, where you’ll find a choice of comfortable seating and a Smart TV – ideal for relaxing evenings streaming a favourite movie. Adjacent is a dining table for six, which flows into the pretty kitchen, where painted cupboards blend with a wooden worktop and ceramic sink for a modern/rustic look. The chef of the holiday will find everything they need here to whip up delicious meals, including a handy dishwasher for a quick tidy-up. There are three charming bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, plus a refreshing family shower room.

Outside, enjoy a sundowner or an al fresco dinner in the enclosed garden, which is equipped with outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ. Younger members of the group will enjoy the garden while your hounds can race around in the site’s fully enclosed 4-acre dog park with an agility area, mature trees for shade, a water bowser for thirsty dogs and picnic benches to sit back and enjoy the heavenly views over the Vale of Taunton to the rolling hills of the Quantocks beyond. There’s also a handy dog wash for cleaning mucky pups after country walks. Guests are invited to book a guided tour of the farm, where the owner will show you the animals, including sheep, goats and horses. This property offers ample private parking.
