The Cottage

The Cottage is a delightful character cottage tucked away in the village of Holford in the Quantock Hills National Landscape, offering attractive interiors and easy access to local amenities, the North Somerset coastline, and the landscapes of Exmoor National Park.

Dating back to medieval times with original beams and other features relating to its age, it's perfect for couples seeking a romantic Somerset escape.

Be welcomed into a little cottage filled with ample amenities to cater to your stay, beginning in a charming kitchen space with a dining room for romantic meals enjoyed with a glass of fizz.

From here, discover the pretty courtyard garden, accessible through French windows, and an idyllic spot for morning coffee as you plan the day ahead of you.

The sitting room features original beams and houses an electric fire effect red brick fireplace, so why not curl up with a good book in this ambient space?

When sleep calls, freshen up in the ground-floor shower room, before retiring to the delightful double bedroom which has beautiful views of the thatched cottage opposite and up to the woods.

The Cottage is actually in a Quantock combe with direct access to the hills.  This makes it an ideal place for walking, birdwatching and enjoying nature in general with pretty streams, deer, wild ponies and spectacular views over land and sea.

Holford is on the edge of the Quantocks with the Plough Inn and the Combe House Hotel a short walk, away allowing guests to enjoy a hearty meal out whilst nearby Kilve also offers The Hood Arms as an alternative option.

Holford Silk Mill famously acted as the backdrop to Bryan Adams' iconic video to his hit single '(Everything I Do), I Do It For You' and locally there are plenty of walks, as well as the Exmoor National Park within reach.

Proximity to the sea allows for coastal walks and fascinating, beautiful beaches to explore.

The village of Holford itself has links with both Coleridge and Wordsworth - the latter lived at Alfoxton House in Holford with his sister Dorothy. Other close by attractions include Tropiquaria Zoo, the historic Cleeve Abbey and Dunster Castle.
