On Exmoor National Park and nestling on the slopes of the Brendon Hills, the farm is in a small hamlet at the head of probably the most beautiful "combe" in the area, known as the hidden valley. You can relax in the tranquillity and privacy of the accommodation, yet benefit from the proximity of Taunton and Minehead. The farm is approximately 20 minutes from the M5, J25. A short drive from the Somerset coast with its beaches at Dunster, Minehead and Blue Anchor, it is also close to the Devon border giving access to much of North Devon in addition to the enormous number and range of amenities in Somerset itself. There is a wealth of local attractions for adults and children alike, including the marina and wildlife park with its huge pirate ships at Watchet, the Norman castle at Dunster, windsurfing and sailing on Wimbleball reservoir, visit the West Somerset Steam Railway, cider farms, as well as the spectacular scenery and wildlife on Exmoor itself, best seen by taking a short safari. Among popular attractions within easy reach are Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves, numerous adventure and animal parks, Clarks Village and Diggerland.

This detached former barn probably dates to the 17th century. Before major alteration, it was used for storing the farm's cider apples and housed its own cider press - now separately sited nearby.

French windows lead to the garden and small patio providing privacy. The cottage offers TWO bedrooms: 1 double and 1 twin. Lounge/kitchen/diner with TV and DVD and coal-effect gas stove (heating). Kitchen area with electric cooker, microwave and fridge. Bathroom with bath, separate shower cubicle and WC. Utility with tumble dryer and washing machine (sole use).
