A peaceful spot set in 100 acres of scenic Somerset countryside. A delightful oasis with 10 bedrooms for a large group of up to 20 guests. Set around a charming courtyard, perfect for dining alfresco and sharing good times with your loved ones.
Stylishy designed by the owner, this holiday home has a wide range of facilities, including an indoor pool and tennis court and magnificent views. If you do venture from the house, perfect villages and cosy pubs await.
Social spaces
The large and light filled open plan living/entertainment space is perfect for enjoying good times together. The long dining table looks out to the garden and countryside beyond – slide back the bi-folds and enjoy a summer breeze.
The cooks within you group won’t feel left out either in this extremely social space. The well designed kitchen is a chefs delight and opens out to the pool room through a large internal door, keeping all your guests included in the fun.
Bedrooms
The bedrooms form a quiet zone on one side of the barn. 4 on the ground floor, 5 above and the Hayloft bedroom tucked away by itself, with access from a secret door in the hallway. All the bedrooms can be either twin or super king, giving tremendous flexibility for your group. The beautiful interiors will make it hard to choose your favourite. The bathrooms have smart contemporary fittings with a mixture of baths and walk in showers – in total 4 ensuite and 3 shared bathrooms.
Fun spaces
The cinema and games room has a mid size snooker table and a 2m projection wall – great for an immersive movie experience, plug in your own device too (HDMI cable supplied)
When the weather is mild make the most of the elegant outdoor dining area, covered in case of any British weather! There’s comfy outdoor sofa seating too – we’re thinking curled up with your favourite book perhaps? (chatting with a freshly brewed coffee)
Pool, tennis court & gardens
The 15m spring fed indoor pool is heated to 29°c – just perfect for some pre-breakfast lengths or watching the children splash about to their hearts content. Get a bit more active on the all weather tennis court and then take it easy on the gorgeous courtyard terrace. There are 100 acres for you to explore through shady woodlands and open countryside to enjoy the fabulous views.
Out and About
Tucked close to the Devon border, the village of Stawley offers you the charm of rural countryside living with easy access to both Wellington and Wiveliscombe. From here, the dramatic Quantock Hills and the wild beauty of Exmoor National Park are just a short drive away, making it an ideal base for adventures in nature, culture, and local food and drink.
If you’re keen to get outdoors, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Exmoor National Park beckons with its sweeping moorland, wooded valleys, and endless walking routes, with highlights such as Dunkery Beacon – the highest point on Exmoor – and the nearby Quantock Hills, England’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Closer to home, the Grand Western Canal Country Park provides a peaceful spot for walking, cycling, or boating, while Culmstock Beacon rewards you with panoramic views over the rolling countryside. For something more tranquil, you might enjoy casting a line at West Pitt Farm Fishery or sipping local vintages at Wellhayes Vineyard, where visitors are welcome for tastings.
The area is also rich in history and heritage. Just outside Wellington, you’ll find Cothay Manor, a medieval gem surrounded by magical gardens, while Exmoor’s Tarr Steps offers the chance to walk across an ancient stone clapper bridge steeped in legend. Dunster Castle, perched high on a wooded hill, brings over 600 years of history to life with dramatic views and enchanting interiors. For a nostalgic day out, hop aboard the West Somerset Railway at Bishops Lydeard and journey through the countryside by steam train. Or head into nearby Taunton to discover the Museum of Somerset, a fascinating showcase of the region’s past.
Families will find plenty to keep everyone entertained. At Sheppy’s House of Cider in Taunton, one of Somerset’s oldest cider makers, you can take a tour, enjoy a farm walk, or simply relax over a hearty meal. Wimbleball Lake offers a wide range of watersports and outdoor activities, perfect for an active day out with children. Closer still, the Wellington Monument provides both a scenic walk and a chance to explore a landmark honouring the Duke of Wellington’s victory at Waterloo. And for a relaxed evening, The Globe Inn at nearby Appley is a welcoming country pub where you can enjoy local food and a friendly atmosphere.
