Treat your loved ones to a beautiful break at this converted barn in a complex of holiday homes sitting on the edge of the little village of North Curry. Sleeping three people across two bedrooms and welcoming one canine companion, it's perfect for a small family or group of friends who are searching for a characterful barn with a fully enclosed courtyard and its own hot tub to call home while they discover Somerset with their pup by their side. Spend easy mornings ambling into North Curry for a coffee, or make your way into Hestercombe, where pups on leads are welcome right in formal gardens, woodlands and by the lakes. Alternatively, head for the Quantock Hills National Landscape to take in the views to the Bristol Channel. In the evening, come home to sink into your bubbling hot tub while your pup potters around the enclosed courtyard.
Pull into your private parking spot (there's room for two cars), and step inside your beautiful stone barn. Inside you'll find a home that's overflowing traditional character, where rustic exposed beams, apex ceilings and stone walls sit alongside plenty of modern comforts. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a bright and airy space where you can whip up some dinner and share a relaxed meal at the table, before you pop open a bottle of something fizzy to enjoy in front of a film goes on the Smart TV. Alternatively, when the sun's out, carry head out into the pretty courtyard garden and dine alfresco while your pup enjoys the enclosed space. Afterwards, slip into the bubbling hot tub in the corner and soak away the evening. At the end of the day, two bedrooms are waiting for you upstairs - a double with a Juliet balcony, and a smart twin – both with spectacular views. Please note that the ceilings slope low. A family shower room completes the layout. In the morning, wander out beyond the barn into the surrounding land, or book yourself a game on the on-site tennis court.
Watch your faithful friend's tail wag among the formal terraces, woodlands and lakes of the dog-friendly garden at Hestercombe (8 miles). Or head up onto the Quantock Hills National Landscape (9.5 miles), the first stretch of country in England to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to stroll along heather ridges and take in the views across the Bristol Channel.
