Property code: 78353

A luxury annexe in the historic town of Ilminster which is within easy reach of the Quantock Hills. Decorated in a contemporary and stylish manner. This property is perfect for celebrating, relaxing or exploring.

Lap up the luxury and treat yourself to a stay in this charming lodge, based within the medieval town of Ilminster. Elegant, stylish and packed with thoughtful extra touches, this property is an ideal setting for couples seeking the ultimate staycation with their waggy-tailed companion. After a busy day of exploring, you’ll be able to hose off muddy paws with the handy dog shower and settle down for an evening of delicious food and good wine in comfort.

 

Soothing neutral decor, lavish furnishings and tasteful accessories complement this contemporary retreat, which is warmed throughout by a flame-effect fire. The shaker-style kitchen is perfect for preparing meals, and there is even a coffee machine and boiling water tap for hot drinks on the go. Let sleeping dogs lie in the lounge as you treat yourself to an invigorating shower, or you can really spoil yourself with a long soak in the upstairs en-suite bathroom; tucked within the eaves of the house, it has mood lighting and electric candles to create the perfect ambience. Suitably relaxed, you’ll want to curl up under the crisp sheets of the king-size bed and dream the night away – so it’s just as well the lighting is controlled by Amazon Alexa. Outside, the garden is a morning suntrap for al fresco breakfasts and fresh coffee.

 

Access a plethora of exciting walks a short drive away, sniffing out adventures amongst the romantic wilderness of the Quantock Hills. The Jurassic Coast is easily reached within 18 miles, where Fido can frolic in the waves of Lyme Regis beaches such as East Cliff Beach, Church Cliff Beach and Monmouth Beach all year round. No stay would be complete without sampling some of Somerset’s finest local fare, so be sure to browse the thriving markets and farm shops of Ilminster.
