Make memories to last a lifetime at this luxurious country retreat on the outskirts of Exmoor National Park. Set within 60 acres, you’ll be free to roam the grounds and explore the woodlands, fields, and stream. There’s also a pitch and putt golf course and a lake which is perfect for wild-water swimming.

Nestled in the valley, the detached property benefits from a peaceful and private location. The property is packed with luxurious touches to make your stay feel extra special and has a number of quirky design features and eclectic accessories to create a truly unique backdrop to your holiday. At the heart of the home is the spectacular kitchen/diner. The huge space is designed with entertaining in mind, with plenty of room to prepare food and ample seating for everyone. On a warm day, throw open the bi-fold doors to make the garden feel like an extension of the house.

In contrast, Minehead is bright and vibrant, with a bustling seafront and a colourful collection of seaside attractions. It is, however, equally charming and is particularly enchanting for children.
