Watchet 2.5 miles. Situated in the charming village of Washford in West Somerset is this lovely cottage, boasting a spacious interior and offering fabulous accommodation for a southern getaway. The Old Byres provides the perfect spot to host a family celebration or special occasion with all the family surrounded by style and luxury. Combining character features with modern décor, as well as underfloor heating and two woodburning stoves, this wonderful cottage feels welcoming and special. The hub of the home is no doubt the large kitchen/diner with a handmade refectory table positioned close to the patio doors so that everyone can spill out onto the lawn for alfresco breakfasts and summery evening barbecues. On cooler evenings, retreat back into this hub where a woodburning stove and sofas provide a snug spot for relaxing in front of the chef as they whip up some delicious food for all. The delightful sitting room has a high vaulted ceiling with plenty of exposed oak beams, with a collection of deep sofas and a woodburning stove resting beneath them, creating the best place to toast your toes after a day of walking in the countryside. Relax together here for a film night, or for a quieter moment there is a piano for the musical member of the family to entertain you. The cottage boasts a mixture of ground-floor and first-floor bedrooms, most with en-suite bathroom, and some even enjoying private TVs, and with a combination of bed sizes that ensure the whole family has a superb sleeping spot. The master bedroom hosts a marvellous super-king-size bed with an en-suite bathroom, with the added feature of an ethanol fire built between the bedroom and bathroom for a romantic and luxury touch. To keep the whole family amused between meals and outings, there is a warm games room which has an electric stove-effect fire and sofas, perfect for the spectators of the pool game to perch on. Why not further relax in the sauna, or have a dip in the swimming pool for some refreshing lengths, or wind down in the hot tub beneath stars. For the little ones and your pets, the enclosed courtyard garden which has a Wendy house and lawned area is a fantastic space for them to run around, with some seats for the adults to sit peacefully. The location affords easy access to the coast, being just around two-miles away, visit the ancient port of Watchet and Blue Anchor Beach for fun days in the sun and sand, the children can enjoy a paddle in the waves while the adults have an epic sandcastle competition. Hop onto the West Somerset Railway to experience some of the lovely scenery found in these parts, or head to the Tropiquaria Wildlife Park to get up close to exotic reptiles, birds and tropical fish in the aquarium providing a great day out for all ages. As well as plenty of walking and cycling routes and trails scattered around and historic houses and gardens waiting to be visited, The Old Byres makes for a wonderful choice for a family holiday to Somerset.
