  • A stunning barn conversion with fabulous views and shared swimming pool
  • Wander through the countryside to the delightful village of Trull
  • Ideal base for keen walkers and cyclists to explore Exmoor and the stunning Quantock and Blackdown Hills
Property code: KIBOR

Retreat to this attractive Somerset barn conversion, where you and your favourite furry friend will have a memorable break. Welcoming six guests and up to one happy hound, the three-bedroom home is one of four properties on the site, close to the village of Trull, that share children’s play equipment. From here, explore your picturesque surroundings on foot, with days out in the magnificent Blackdown Hills and Quantock Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

Enter this beautifully converted barn which has underfloor heating at ground-floor level, to find a bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a high vaulted ceiling. Let Rover explore, while you unpack, then prepare dinner in your stylish kitchen area. Serve up at the table, while your hungry hound enjoys his in the kitchen, before heading to the comfortable seating space to watch TV while he dozes. Two of your inviting bedrooms and a shower room are on the ground floor while the master bedroom and its en-suite shower room are upstairs. Tuck into breakfast out on your private patio. 

Pull on your hiking boots, pick up the lead and head straight out from home on long country walks. Make your way just over 2 miles to the edge of Devon’s Blackdown Hills or drive about 6 miles to the Quantock Hills in Somerset. Find an array of footpaths through rolling countryside to follow with your faithful friend. Drive 16 miles to the edge of Exmoor National Park to find more scenic trails through moorland, woodland and valleys.

We booked for Christmas and New Year, so we could spend half with one daughter and family and the other half with our other daughter and family. It rained nearly every day and it didn't matter, our accommodation was so comfortable and warm, the swimming pool was an added bonus! Lots of walks for the family and dog and Taunton was amazing for shops Read moreand Miles Tearooms is an absolute must as is the village pub, the Winchester Arms. The owners were easy to contact if there was an issue. Hide

Modern and spacious 3 bedroom cottage which was easy to find and close to the village of Trull. Plenty of room to park cars close to cottage. Cottage was very warm with underfloor heating downstairs and radiators upstairs. Large open plan kitchen/dining/living room which was ideal for our 2 year old grandson to play on the tiled floor. Swimming pooRead morel just round the corner from the cottage. Warm water and good changing/shower facilities . Cottage is very close to M5 thus road noise was a problem Hide

Although you can hear the motorway it us not intrusive. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. For future visits I would book a unit with personal outdoor space if taking the dog. Swimming pool was a real bonus and we really enjoyed a relaxing break close to points if interest. Hosts and staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful.
