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.

There is a separate Games room where Table Tennis and Darts can be enjoyed.  Because of the idyllic rural situation, there are country 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.
