A cosy cottage with great countryside views, nestled in the foothills of the Quantock Hills. Sitting to one side of the owners’ own home at the end of a sweeping driveway, this delightful property is accessed through electric gates. It’s fully self-contained and privacy is assured, making it an ideal spot for couples, walkers and small families. The rural location is just a 30 minute walk to the village of Bishops Lydeard - home of the West Somerset Railway and a newly renovated Water-Mill with a museum and café. The village has a Co-op supermarket. There is also a tea room, farm shop, Chinese takeaway and 2 pubs serving local ales and good food. The sandy beaches of West Somerset are just a short drive - perfect for a day relaxing out. Also great for exploring are the rugged splendour of Exmoor and The Blackdown Hills. The county town of Taunton with its extensive shopping and leisure facilities is just 5 miles away and home to the racecourse and County Cricket Ground. In the area are several golf courses. The Cathedral cities of Bath and Wells are only an hour away by car and is in the same area as the enchanting town of Glastonbury and Street where Clarke's Outlet Shopping Village is located on the old shoe factory site. To the south is the famous Jurassic Coast with the coastal towns of Sidmouth, Beer and Lyme Regis for a seaside day out.

The cottage is spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you need. The lounge area has plenty of comfy seating for you to curl up in while watching the TV or a DVD. There’s also a large dining table for family meals. The spacious kitchen is well-equipped with a gas oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer, as well as a dishwasher. You’ll also find a washing machine and an outdoor clothes line. There are two comfortable bedrooms for you to enjoy a good night’s sleep - one king size and one single, both with breath-taking countryside views. The bathroom has a shower over the bath and WC.

Stoneage Cottage is a delightful place to spend a week away. As a family of 3 - 2 adults and a teen - we wanted for nothing during our stay: everything we needed was present and the accommodation itself supremely comfortable, well-appointed, spotless and a pleasure in which to spend a relaxing time. The views from the cottage across the surroundingRead more countryside were exquisite & the sense of isolation wonderful. Add in Tim - a most friendly & personable host - & you have a superb holiday base. Hide
