is not occupied by sheep at the time. Please note children must be
supervised around the nearby pond. Indoor Description As you step into
this characterful barn conversion, you’ll notice original features like

hills. A selection of outdoor games and a BBQ are available on request.

on the southern edge of the Exmoor hills, set among rolling Somerset
countryside between the Brendon Hills and the Quantock Hills.
The town has a long and proud history as a centre for agriculture and
brewing. Its handsome Georgian and Victorian buildings line The Square
and Silver Street, and there is a strong community spirit with a weekly
market, independent shops, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it an
excellent base for a quieter Exmoor holiday.
