Overview
Property code: OC-B31901

Escape to the peaceful countryside of North Curry, where you can enjoy the fun of staying on a farm with plenty of family-friendly things to do nearby. A short drive will take you to the bustling town of Taunton (7 miles), to wander through independent shops, pick up unique gifts and souvenirs, or enjoy a bite at one of the many restaurants. For families who love the outdoors, there’s no shortage of walking and cycling options. Head to the Quantock Hills National Landscape, where you can enjoy a variety of scenic trails. Be sure to explore Cheddar Gorge (25 miles), a stunning natural landmark that offers the chance to visit fascinating caves. History lovers will enjoy a visit to the famous town of Glastonbury (15 miles), known for its mystical atmosphere and the iconic Glastonbury Tor, or head to Barrington Court (9 miles), a National Trust site with beautiful gardens.

Nestled on a historic farm dating back over 350 years, this single-level property was once a water-driven corn mill powered by the River Fivehead that still gently flows through the land today. This charming cottage, located adjacent to the farmhouse, has been thoughtfully converted, retaining its unique character and showcasing traditional decor and modern comforts. Upon arrival, unpack your bags in one of the two delightful bedrooms – a twin and a king-size – both offering ample storage and stylish furnishings. The open-plan living area is a true highlight, featuring toasty underfloor heating, high ceilings, exposed beams, and characterful sloped eaves that add rustic charm to the space. The well-equipped kitchen comes with everything you need, including a breakfast bar for preparing a hearty breakfast before heading out to explore the farm or the stunning countryside that surrounds you. The bathroom, complete with a bath and separate shower, offers a relaxing space to refresh after a day of adventure.

Outside, enjoy a peaceful seating area where you can unwind and soak up the natural beauty of the farm. A BBQ is available upon request for al fresco dining, and with ample off-road parking, your stay is both comfortable and convenient. Please note smoking or vaping is not tolerated within the property or anywhere on the wider property grounds.

Whilst we have suggested a few changes at this property, it by no means is a complaint, it is a working farm situation after all. We were made very welcome and we were fortunate to be there when newborns were coming into the world. The booklet in the stables that tell you details of the farm and its history was very helpful however some prices do nRead moreeed changing to bring it up to date ie: fleeces and skins etc prices must fluctuate over time and could be said in a way for people to understand. The family that live and work here are really friendly and accommodating we certainly learned a lot about all the sheep and their personalities. Hide

We had a lovely weekend at the Stables. Rose and Tom were so friendly and accommodating and the Cottage is warm, comfortable, practical and has loads of space. The kids got to feed lambs and meet the chickens and horses and Tom gave us directions to go on a nice walk right from the front door. We thoroughly recommend a stay at the Stables

We had a lovely long weekend stay at The Stables. The cottage itself is well equipped, very comfortable and spacious. The owners (Rose and Tom) are extremely helpful and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. The location is lovely with walks on and near the farm, and plenty of attractions within easy driving distance. We used The StRead moreables as a Base and visited surrounding attractions such as Barrington House, Fyne Court, Glastonbury Tor, Hestercombe House and gardens and Brean Sands. It was lovely to return to the cottage each evening after our visits and relax in such lovely surroundings. Hide
