Our 2 traditional Barn
cottages & Scandinavian Lodge are situated in 17 acres of quiet, unspoilt countryside where our visitors are
free to roam and enjoy a gentler pace of life. There is a feeling of
seclusion, yet the cottages are central for all kinds of activities in Devon
and Somerset.
The Barns have been
sympathetically converted from a 17th century barn into two
independent, well equipped cottages furnished to a very high standard
throughout, equipped with LCD TV and DVDs, electric cooker, fridge and
dishwasher and full oil-fired central heating, with ample off-road
parking. Each Barn has 2 separate
bedrooms (1 twin and 1double) comfortably sleeping 4 persons per Barn.
Fresh linen and towels are provided on arrival.
The New Lodge sits secluded in
its own orchard, where you can dine on the veranda whilst enjoying the
sunset. The Lodge has 4 bedrooms (2 double and 2 single) and can
accommodate up to 6 people. It has a ground floor WC and shower room, and
an upstairs bathroom and WC. It is furnished to an extremely high standard
and has oil-fired central heating making it an ideal winter retreat as well
as the perfect summer get-away. The fitted kitchen includes a dishwasher
and washing machine.
See the photo galleries above for a full tour of each of the
three properties.

views from most windows, from which you can spot birds and other wildlife, or while playing tennis on the all-weather outdoor court.
Situated above the cottages is
“Chimney Down”, a beautiful open stretch of common land, ideal for dog
walking, with spectacular panoramic views across Exmoor
to the north and Dartmoor to the west.
Within a mile
is the Staple Cross Inn, a 17th Century pub serving excellent
food. Locally, there are many
attractions including National Trust properties such as Knightshayes Court and Killerton House, as well as trout fishing and sailing which can be enjoyed on Wimbleball Reservoir. If you are looking for a great days' fishing however, we would reccomend Nearby Clatworthy Reservoir as a better destination for Trout.
How about a trip on the historic West
Somerset Railway? It's the
country’s longest steam preservation railway line and is only 12 miles away.
If you prefer to be a little more active while on holiday, there are some great Golf courses nearby, such as Tiverton Golf Club, Taunton Vale Golf Club and the fantastic Oake Manor Golf Club.
Our cottages are secluded yet
conveniently located about 5 miles north of Junction 27 of the M5 close to the
Devon/Somerset border, making this a superb central location to explore the
beauty of the South West. Exmoor is
less than 10 miles away, and Dartmoor and the beautiful South Devon & Dorset coasts containing the picturesque harbour
of Lyme Regis can all be reached in under an hour. The cottages are
also convenient for major family attractions such as Diggerland and Crealy Adventure Park.
