Details
of the accommodation |
|
There are various rooms available to let. We do a pretty mean breakfast
with sausages from our own pigs and on a good day eggs from our hens . If you
want to self cater then the little house has a microwave/oven combi cooker
and gas hobs, fridge etc. There is also a woodburning stove should you need
it. |
|
The swimming pool is outdoor and is just below the house. It is heated and you have a good
view across the valley when you are swimming in it. The animals pictured in
the gallery are kept in a couple of fields further on down. |

The
Blackdown Hills is a good area for
walking and cycling. There are plenty of good pubs nearby serving excellent
food and beer. Local sites of interest include the Culmstock Beacon which was
used as part of the warning system for the arrival of the Spanish Armada. The
nearby Hembury Fort was an iron age hill fort and now a tranquil haven, it’s
violent past now long forgotten. (
See Times Online).
The Old Kennels offers classes
throughout the year in all sorts of arts and crafts. A little further afield
The West Somerset Railway run a steam train
from near Taunton up to Minehead in the north of Devon running through some
beautiful countryside. There are various Natural trust sites, such as
Knightshayes Court, a short drive
away and the coast is about a 40 minute drive. The nearest village is
Hemyock, roughly a mile away, for basic amenities, and Wellington and Taunton
are within easy reach for more varied shops. |
