3 Bedroom Lodge in Buckland St. Mary

Nestled amongst 130 acres of wonderful Somerset countryside, with breathtaking views across the border into Devon, this stylish and sophisticated family-friendly Scandinavian log cabin is the ultimate getaway for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Your glorious countryside surroundings never feel far away when you''re in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner; breathtaking views across the valley set the scene for pure relaxation whilst the rustic wood cladding perfectly echoes the local natural heritage. On a fine evening, throw open the floor-to-ceiling patio doors to unwind amongst the soothing sounds of rural life. There are three gorgeous bedrooms on offer, one en-suite king-size, one king-size zip-and-link (can be made up as a twin) and one 3'' bunk bedroom, that all feature natural wood hues that''ll leave you dreaming of your next countryside adventure. Outside, enjoy a glass of something chilled on the covered veranda, and fire up the charcoal BBQ as children and four-legged friends roam the lawn. You can also arrange a guided farm tour with the owner to meet the resident lambs. Families with pets will appreciate access to a handy, shared dog shower on site.
