Head to the snug/study, where you can dive into a good book or play some board games. As you climb the stairs, you will find three wonderfully-presented bedrooms.

In the village of North Curry, just a short stroll away, you will find a coffee shop and post office and can indulge in a slice of British history with a visit to the gorgeous medieval church of St.

Peter and St. Paul. Perhaps catch one of the community events or simply enjoy a leisurely walk around the beautiful village. A short drive will take you to the bustling market town of Taunton; here, browse a variety of local shops, taste locally sourced fare in quaint tea rooms and restaurants, or perhaps take a relaxing boat trip along the River Tone. Taunton is also home to the Somerset County Museum, Vivary Park, and Taunton Castle, all well worth a visit. From country pursuits to historical attractions, Curlew Cottage offers the perfect base for a truly unforgettable Somerset experience.

The county town of Somerset, Taunton is the perfect cottage holiday destination. The town has excellent buildings with charming stone and Tudor architecture, and there is also fascinating history in the town stretching back over 1000 years including a 10th century monastery. Taunton boasts a choice of museums and parks, one of which has held the Taunton Flower Show for over 150 years.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the Quantock and Blackdown Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are easily accessible, as well as the Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks slightly further afield, plus Swell Wood, Ham Wall and Greylake nature reserves. If a day by the sea is what you're after, the coast is around 20.4 miles away and home to Blue Anchor Bay and St Audries Bay near Watchet; Burnham-on-Sea beach; Kilve beach near Minehead and, of course, the popular seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare, 32.7 miles away but well worth the journey with its great range of activities.
