This lovingly renovated barn rests beneath Crook Peak in the Mendip Hills on the edge of the Somerset village of Compton Bishop. There are countryside walks from the doorstep, a river where guests can try their hand at fishing and llamas and pygmy goats to meet. The historic towns and cities of Axbridge (2.5 miles), Cheddar (4.5 miles), Wells (12.5 miles), Glastonbury (15 miles), Bath (28 miles) and Bristol (20 miles) are all accessible by car. The seaside towns of Burnham-on-Sea (9.5 miles) and Weston-super-Mare (8 miles) are within a short drive, with their golden sandy beaches and family entertainment, or head for the quieter beach at Uphill (7 miles). The first two weeks in November is carnival season with the renowned Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea and Weston-super-Mare carnivals all within a short drive.

Enter this stylishly decorated single-storey barn conversion into a light and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a comfortable seating area with Smart TV, a dining table and large bi-fold doors, beyond which far reaching countryside views can be enjoyed. The immaculate, well-equipped kitchen has a large island complete with bar stools and all the facilities you could need to cook a lazy breakfast, or a delicious family meal. There are two bedrooms, both beautifully decorated and with Smart TVs: a master king-size bedroom and a twin zip-and-link (which can be made into a king-size) on request. Completing the attractive accommodation is a contemporary bathroom with indulgent slipper bath.

Heading outside to the enclosed garden, find a patio complete with comfortable furniture, BBQ and a sail to shelter from the heat of the day. It is an ideal space to relax in good weather, with views over the surrounding countryside. Onsite activities include fishing on the riverbank and a one-of-a-kind adventure – the opportunity to book a guided llama walk direct from the property.
