  • A delightful barn conversion nestling in an idyllic Somerset location within a mile of the beautiful Kilve beach
  • Ideal for visiting seaside towns including Minehead, Watchet and Burnham-on-Sea
  • Perfect for exploring the Brendon and Quantock Hills and just a short drive from Exmoor National Park
Property code: THECR

This pretty barn conversion is situated in Kilve, which lies within the Quantock Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Perfect for a family of four, including your loyal canine, there are two comfortable and welcoming bedrooms for you to retire to after exploring the local area. Kilve Beach, a Site of Special Scientific Interest is just a mile away by car and has plenty of rock pools to discover with your hound by your side. If you’d rather stay inside, relax in the bright and fresh living area, admiring the superb exposed wooden beams.

The single-level property is cosy and comfortable with little homely touches that make it a welcoming place to come back to after a day out. Calming and neutral colours with dark wooden beams dotted around the home promote a feeling of peace and tranquillity, and remind you that you’re in the heart of the Somerset countryside. The compact open-plan living area has everything you need, so whether you’re snoozing on the sofa with your pup by your feet or cooking up a storm in the kitchen, you’ll be in your element here.

When it’s time to head out, make sure you take a stroll around the grounds of Dunster Castle (12 miles). It sits on a wooded hill and has existed since at least Norman times, with spectacular views from the castle toward the Bristol Channel, the Quantocks and Exmoor. If you’d prefer to walk through Exmoor, the nearest tourist centre is only 12 miles away, or you could head on further to the Brendon Hills (17 miles). If it’s the sea that you and your furry pal desire, pop to St. Audrie’s Bay (5 miles) to admire the two stunning waterfalls that cascade down the cliffs.

A lovely little cottage in a beautiful village, perfectly located. Went with my mum who was not very mobile, there were plenty of places to go and visit. Just a shame about the weather, but what else can you expect in March. It was perfect. Cottage itself was lovely and comfortable, very well equipped and spotless!

We have no complaints at all. The owners were great, helped us with places to visit with our dog. The cottage garden was secluded so Isla was able to go outside without worry. Within easy reach of Minehead, Dunster, Porlock and a Deer Park.

We stayed at The Creamery for a week and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The accommodation was very clean and well-equipped. It was great having the gated garden- as we had a dog- which was a sun spot. The lovely owners live next door and were happy to tell us about local walks. A great holiday- thank you!

Lovely little cottage. Clean and comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. Heather, our host, was very welcoming and helpful. Enclosed garden was great for our dog. Plenty of walks from the door - about a mile down quiet road to Kilve Beach or an energetic yomp up to Quantock Common. The Hood Arms is excellent and dog friendly and is only 100 yardRead mores away next to the village shop which sells most things you could want. Hide

A lovely couple who own it. A small but well designed cottage. Our dog had a nasty tummy upset and the owners could not have done more to help us. Road noisy as close to A39.
