Each cottage boasts oil central heating and characterful woodburning stoves, providing plenty of warmth for those visiting during the winter months, as well as one king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room and a twin bedroom with separate shower room. The Old Bakery is a 17th century property, which enjoys a sense of tradition and character throughout, whilst Flora’s Barn boasts a more contemporary feel, and has breath-taking views to enjoy from the open-plan living room. You can gather together as a group within the private gardens for a spot of alfresco dining during the summer months, or alternatively gather within the large games barn with pool table, table tennis, darts and table football.

To keep you busy whilst here, head to the Quantock Hills, which is great for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders, whilst admiring the smallest range of hills in the country and wander through the diverse landscape of the heather-clad moors, deep valleys, and sparkling brooks. If you are willing to travel slightly further afield, be sure to spend some time within the Exmoor National Park or head to the coastline and enjoy a traditional day out by the sea at Kilve Beach, perfect for fossil hunting, or within 5 miles of the cottages there are some lovely dog friendly beaches such as Blue Anchor and the pretty Marina at Watchet.
