Orchard View - Somerset

Tucked away on a working farm on the Somerset Levels, Orchard View was built on the footprint of an old Dutch Barn and retains the same shape and charm as the original building, yet inside it’s modern, spacious and well-equipped. It feels like a home, a place to relax and unwind, somewhere to come and enjoy a family holiday, a get together with friends, or a special celebration. 6 bedrooms sleep 12 guests, with room for one more at an extra charge. There’s a big kitchen-diner, a large bright and airy sitting room, and at the back, a garden where you can sit on the patio or in the hot tub and look out on the orchard where sheep graze beneath the trees.

The Levels are a unique wetland landscape with several nature reserves that are a haven for wildlife; amble along the old drover’s paths and wind up at a country pub for lunch, or go and sample the local brew at one of the cider farms nearby. Langport is only a 5 minute drive away, with a supermarket and shops; from here you can stroll along the River Parrett to Muchelney to see the Abbey ruins and the Priest’s House (NT).

Spend an afternoon in Glastonbury and climb the Tor for panoramic views out over the landscape; go shopping at Clark’s Village or in Taunton where you’ll find good shops, plenty of places to eat, a cinema, bowling alley, golf course and high-ropes centre. Within easy reach are some gorgeous historic houses - Montacute House, Barrington Court and Forde Abbey, or you could head over to the Jurassic Coast to hunt for fossils and go out on a fishing boat at Lyme Regis. You’ll find heaps to do, or just stay and relax at Orchard View. Check your dates and book today.
