This is Barrowmead Cottage.
It's one of four cottages here on our farm in Winscombe. It used to be a stone barn. It’s on a quiet lane in the Mendips. It’s peaceful and you get a lot of birds and wildlife about.
It sleeps six people. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms. It's got a 3 Star rating, so it’s comfortable and everything works, but it’s not a show home. You’ve got your own garden and patio area outside.
Inside, there’s a woodburning stove for cooler evenings, which is nice. The stairs are fairly typical for a cottage conversion, so they’re a bit steep and turn a corner. We’ve put a stairgate at the top if you need it.
You get parking right by the cottage. There’s a washing machine and a dishwasher. Bedding is included. We’ve also got a cot and highchair if you’re bringing little ones. Sorry, but we can't take pets.
There’s a shared games room in another barn with a pool table and table tennis, which is handy if the weather turns.
The nearest shop and pub are about two miles away in the village. You’re about seven miles from Weston-super-Mare if you want a proper beach day.
For getting out, Cheddar Gorge is really close. Blagdon Lake is good for a walk and some fishing. You can get to Wells or Bath in under half an hour by car. Bristol Airport is about fifteen minutes away if you’re picking someone up.
