Get all of your favourite people together at this picture-perfect two-storey cottage in the picturesque village of Holcombe Rogus. Sleeping six people across three bedrooms, it’s ideal for families or groups of friends who are searching for a tranquil rural hideaway to call home while they explore Somerset together. Spend happy days exploring the trails and bridleways of the Blackdown Hills National Landscape, and in the evening, come home to enjoy a cheerful BBQ on the cottage’s rear patio.

Park in your private parking area (there’s room for 2 cars), and step inside. You’ll be greeted by an inviting space where soft, characterful furnishings blend with calming hues and tasteful design touches. Make your way to the cosy lounge and relax by the roaring wood burner before you head to the open-plan kitchen/dining area – which has a striking ornamental wood burner - to cook up a storm. Get everyone together to eat at the stylish dining table, or head out into the rear garden to dine alfresco. Afterwards, lose yourself in a good book in the sunroom, or pour yourself a glass of wine and take a seat on the garden bench by the fish pond. At the end of the day, you’ll find three lovely bedrooms upstairs - two doubles and a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout.

Make your way into the tranquil market town of Wellington (6 miles) to take a stroll through the beautiful Edwardian garden at Wellington Park. Alternatively, head into Taunton (12.5 miles) to visit the Museum of Somerset, take a trip through the gently rolling Quantock Hills on the heritage West Somerset Railway, and sample a traditional cider or two.

Fantastic cottage. It is a real home from home. 3 large bedrooms and plenty of space for everyone. Lovely welcome pack for humans and dog alike! Safe, secure garden for the dog. Cottage was lovely and clean throughout. Useful things such as rechargable fans available - it was during a heatwave so very welcomed. Real suntrap and beautiful view from Read morethe back garden to watch the sun set. Enjoyed feeding and watching the fish in the pond. Kristina was in contact by text before and during the holiday. Very enjoyable stay. Hide

The property was so well equipped and spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable with good pillows and bedding. The gardens are lovely, especially the rear patio area. The welcome basket was a nice surprise. The only issue was the distance to any shops or facilities and the local pub was a disappointment!
