Quantock Barns - Somerset

Quantock Barns were once part of a busy dairy farm set amidst rolling hills and open pastures in Somerset, but they’ve since been converted and now offer luxurious self-catering holiday accommodation for large groups, with a hot tub and a games room. 7 en suite bedrooms sleep 14 guests, with 4 more self-contained suites offering space for up to 10 more guests (charged extra); the barns are centred around an attractive courtyard with outdoor seating and a barbecue area, a fantastic set up for big family holidays, hen weekends, celebrations and corporate breaks.

On the doorstep are the beautiful Quantock Hills where you can explore on foot, by bike or on horseback. This is fantastic walking country, with steep wooded combes to climb, vast open heath tops and rolling fields where red deer feed; you’ll find plenty of charming country inns and tea shops where you can stop for refreshments. Just over the road is Nether Stowey where you can visit Coleridge Cottage (NT) where the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge lived in the 18^th century. Nearby is Oatley Vineyard and the Walled Gardens of Cannington, and it’s not far to the coast where you can hunt for fossils at Kilve, or play on the sands at Blue Anchor or Minehead. Go there by steam train with The West Somerset Railway; alight at Watchet, see St Decuman’s Holy Well and soak up the charm of the harbour, or get off at Dunster and visit the medieval castle (NT).

Take a day trip to Exmoor, a landscape of heather-topped moors, vast woodlands, lush river valleys and dramatic clifftops. Hit the surf at Croyde or Ilfracombe, explore the beautiful Doone Valley, take the kids to Exmoor Zoo, stroll along the river at Tarr Steps or Watersmeet. Feel the pace of life slow down, savour it, make memories to last a lifetime. Check availability and book Quantock Barns today.
