Walks and wildlife! A peaceful rural place that hasn't changed much in centuries, you will soon forget the stress of everyday life and unwind to the sound of birdsong. We have a small flock of rare breed sheep and a little nature reserve; we try to farm in a regenerative way, protecting the soil and the environment. Paddle in the beautiful River Culm by day or gaze at the stars in the unpolluted sky at night - our air is clean and so is our water, which comes from one of the many springs in this place that time forgot. If you're (very) lucky you might spot an otter or a barn owl, an orchid or a glowworm - just some of the wildlife and plant life that we are lucky to live among. Ours is a friendly local farming community. It's probably not the holiday for you if you're looking for all the mod cons, although we do have super-fast broadband! You won't be able to get food delivered and Uber won't find you here, but you will be able to get away from everything, snuggle up in front of a fire or watch the world go by. There are lots of beautiful walks in our quiet lanes, lovely local pubs, and plenty of day trips locally. You won't want to leave! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a river ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Composting - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Towels (changed on request) ## Similar properties ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104560000/104559200/104559142/68ed8c52.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 bedroom accommodation in Churchstanton, near Taunton Churchstanton, near Taunton - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space £517 includes taxes & fees 30 Jan - 31 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-30&endDate=2026-01-31&selected=104559142&PinnedHotelID=104559142&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106390000/106389400/106389309/6fdfcd3e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peaceful location 5 minutes from Taunton town Centre Trull - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=106389309&PinnedHotelID=106389309&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/124000000/123570000/123560500/123560429/269ba4f6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 Bed in Trull (oc-s30958) Trull - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=123560429&PinnedHotelID=123560429&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93220000/93215200/93215116/1f147679.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Grade II Listed Cottage in Central Taunton Somerset - Kitchen - Washing machine - Outdoor space - Fireplace [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=93215116&PinnedHotelID=93215116&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95930000/95922000/95921970/3f1f3878.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 bedroom accommodation in Bishopswood, near Chard Bishopswood, near Chard - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 3 reviews £196 includes taxes & fees 31 Jan - 1 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-31&endDate=2026-02-01&selected=95921970&PinnedHotelID=95921970&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87670000/87667000/87666904/823900e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sarah’s Cottage Centre of Taunton Georgian Cottage Taunton - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=87666904&PinnedHotelID=87666904&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=115040949&PinnedHotelID=115040949&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=115040949,104559142,106389309,123560429,93215116) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:30 AM Contactless check-out ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules Children must be supervised at all times outside: we have livestock and electric fencing, and also a river at the bottom of our fields.
