While you may never want to leave our lovely log cabins, we are in a perfect location to enjoy some of the wonderful sights, tastes and experiences the west country has to offer. Here are just some of our top tips.
Wonderful west country walks
Our farmland extends to Staple Hill, part of the Forestry Commission’s Neroche Castle. Staple Hill is perfect for a short walk, where views stretch for miles across the Vale of Taunton – on a clear day you can see all the way to Wales. But if you feel in the mood for a more challenging walk, Staple Hill is part of the Staple Fitzpaine Herepath trail, stretching over 13 miles.
If you want to explore further afield, Exmoor National Park, the Quantocks and the World Heritage Jurassic coastline are all within an hour’s drive, where you can enjoy miles of walks and wonderful west country views.
Shop ‘til you drop
If you prefer your walking to include shopping, we are in easy reach of Taunton (15 minute drive) – the county town of Somerset. Here you’ll find a large range of shopping and dining choices. Clarkes Village Designer Retail Outlet, is 40 minutes away. The cities of Exeter and Bristol are within an hour’s drive and well worth a visit.
For groceries, the small market town of Ilminster is a delight, with local butchers, bakers, greengrocers, delis and cafes, plus supermarkets. We also permit supermarket deliveries (strictly between the hours of 10am & 6pm) if you prefer to get your groceries online.
