Dreams of country life become day-to-day reality at this romantic couple’s bolthole. The former stables building features contemporary cottage styling and a charming courtyard garden, while on the doorstep, there is a 33-acre estate to discover. Perfect for a grown-up getaway, the pet-friendly property is ideally placed for exploring Exmoor and the Somerset/Devon border.

Turn off the beaten track and tune into the sounds of the countryside as you settle into this tranquil holiday haven; located within a country estate in the shadow of the Brendon Hills, it offers a total escape from the everyday. Earthy, neutral hues inside complement the colours of the lush surroundings while two sets of patio doors lead effortlessly from the light and bright open-plan living space into the courtyard garden. On one side of this space, the lounge area has a choice of comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner-effect electric heater. Adjacent, the kitchen/dining area has all the essentials for fuss-free home cooking. A pair of pets are welcome to share your holiday here. Once they’re settled for the night, your own king-size bedroom feels sanctuary-like and leads into an en-suite shower room which can also be accessed directly from the hallway. Edged by trees and grass, the courtyard garden is a fine location for al fresco food and refreshments. Explore the wider estate and you’ll discover woodlands, pastures and riverside walks alongside unfenced ponds and a small lake; your dogs will love to let off steam in the exercise fields on-site. There is private parking for two cars.

For a breath of sea air, rocky Doniford Beach is 13 miles away and Kilve Beach – perfect for fossil hunting – is 16 miles away.

Lovely cottage, Welcome pack for us was lovely and bits for our dog were great. The bed was really comfy, which is a must for us, the cottage has everything you need. The enclosed field for your dog to run in was brilliant, our boy Chilli loved it.
