Nestled in the heart of Exmoor National Park in the quaint village of Wheddon Cross, rests this white-washed cottage, Barn Owl Cottage. Surrounded by rolling countryside and just a short drive away from a welcoming pub, this delightsome, two-bedroom property is idyllic for a small family or four friends. Be greeted by off-road parking and admire the peaceful location before heading through the gate to reach the wide lawn, enveloping your holiday home. Step inside to the entrance hallway and kick off your walking boots, ready for a ramble in Somerset. Discover the cream, contemporary kitchen/diner, here the chef of the group can whip up culinary delights, courtesy of the electric oven and hob and there is also a handy dishwasher to do the cleaning. Relax and unwind in the sitting room besides the crackling woodburning stove, as you snuggle up for a film night. Adjacent, you will find the snug room, the ideal space for some alone time; curl up with a good book and a cup of tea to relish the tranquil setting. After a day exploring Somerset's dramatic landscape, climb upstairs to indulge in a bubble bath or use the hand-held shower for a refreshing rinse. The first-floor hosts two lovely bedrooms rest your head in a king-size or a twin bedroom, both offering views of the unspoilt countryside. The thriving village of Wheddon cross is great for a self-catered stay, with its village store to stock up on the essentials, as well as a rustic pub for a warming meal and a cold pint. Lace up your walking boots and enjoy a stroll around Dunkery & Horner Wood National Nature Reserve, tour the deep woods of Nutcombe Bottom, Tall Trees Trail or visit Alpacas of Hall Farm to get up close to the mammals. Avid walkers may wish to explore Exford, home to lush hills and River Barle valleys, so pack a picnic and take advantage of its outstanding scenery, where you can grab refreshments at a traditional inn afterwards. Jump in the car and venture to the coastal town of Minehead, here you can soak in the sights from a long, sandy beach, travel on the historical West Somerset Railway and relax at Blenheim Gardens. For a much-needed rural escape, choose Barn Owl Cottage.
