About this property
Located inside the Exmoor National Park, the principal part of this stunning converted Georgian coach house is perfect for a family retreat to the Somerset coastline. Explore Exmoor and the ancient parish of Nettlecombe from the doorstep, hunt for fossils along Somerset’s Jurassic coast or take a steam-train ride on the West Somerset Railway. Visit Cleeve Abbey, an ancient English Heritage monastery, the enchanting Dunster Castle, a National Trust gem, or the picturesque harbour town of Watchet, home to a marina, museums and thriving street markets. Or relax in the secluded and enclosed garden with a traditional open fronted barn. A south-facing outdoor sofa area is a real sun-trap. Enjoy an evening stroll to the nearby Notley Arms gastro-pub, for a drink in the beer garden or an award-winning meal. Or spend evenings cooking up a storm in the amply-equipped kitchen/diner before gathering round the dining table or enjoying a spot of alfresco dining on the patio. A magnificent first floor sitting room awaits upstairs, bursting with original features and local art, exposed oak beams, and a polished wooden floor. The ground floor houses a twin bedroom with doors out onto the garden and a double bedroom with en suite shower room, as well as a separate cloakroom with basin and WC.

Great country cottage vibe. Everything worked as it should. Information provided was comprehensive and clear. The beds and pillows, however, were a bit uncomfortable.

We were 6 adults and 2 babies under 1. The house is spacious, with a nice big living room and a good-sized kitchen with steps leading down to a lovely garden. Somerset is beautiful, we had some great trips out and would definitely like to come back to see more. Thanks for a great stay and would highly recommend!
