Property code: OLDOR

Set on a charming smallholding, this delightful barn conversion is located in one of the most picturesque pockets of Somerset. Two and four-legged guests alike will enjoy exploring nearby Exmoor National Park, the Quantock Hills and Wimbleball Reservoir before returning to the cottage for a cosy evening in front of the wood burner or a delicious BBQ in the evening sunshine. During your stay, you are welcome to explore the owners’ surrounding 6 acres of farmland, home to chickens, cows and sheep.

Approached by external stone steps, this beautifully-converted single-storey barn retains plenty of original charm, from its exposed beams to its original barn windows and doors. With an open-plan layout, there is plenty of space for you and your canine companions to relax and unwind after a long day on foot. Prepare and enjoy delicious meals in the light and airy kitchen/diner before lighting the wood burner, settling down on the L-shaped leather sofa and indulging in a relaxing evening in front of the TV. In warmer weather, take to the enclosed patio for BBQs and outdoor games or explore the surrounding 6 acres of land.

With the beautiful Brendon Hills and the spectacular Exmoor National Park on the doorstep and the stunning Quantock Hills within easy reach, you and your furry friends need never do the same walk twice. Take to the coast to stroll along sandy beaches and explore pretty seaside towns of Brean and Burnham-on-Sea or visit the popular towns and cities of Tiverton, Taunton, Bridgwater and Wells.

Lovely cottage and in a great location. Everything you need is in the cottage, very comfortable beds and brilliant shower. The one thing that let it down was being able to hear people in the cottage above moving around and even snoring.

We had a really wonderful stay at Old Holcombe in its utterly stunning surroundings. The cottage had everything we needed and was a great base for exploring Exmoor. Were definitely planning to return in future and can see it would be a great location for a larger group across the multiple cottages.

This cottage is very comfortable & in peaceful surroundings. The pond area is lovely to sit by & enjoy the countryside views. We enjoyed our stay in Orchard cottage & although its attached to 3 other holiday properties it was private & not overlooked by the other properties. The log burner & basket of logs was a nice feature. The only downside whicRead moreh obviously cant be changed is that we had to drive long distances to get to anywhere including shops so a car is essential. Hide
