The Long Barn - Set in the heart of the Vale of Taunton Deane
Cottage with 5 Bedrooms, Sleeps 12, Garden, Swimming Pool
Set in the heart of the Vale of Taunton Deane, with views to the Quantock Hills on one side and the Blackdowns on the other, the Long Barn at Pontispool is the ideal holiday retreat for up to 12 people.
You can settle into a slower pace of living, where only the Hillfarrance brook looks like it’s in a hurry. The newly converted barn lies in the middle of a 450 acre estate, where the family indulges its passion for horses. Emerge into the Somerset air and you may believe that you have gone back in time to a more leisurely era. But go through the door and you will be reassured that the house has every 21st century convenience. Gas central heating radiates warmth in winter, whilst in the main living area, a wood burner adds additional ambiance.
Despite its rural location, the Long Barn is close to transport links. It is 15 minutes from Taunton railway station and the same from Junction 26 of the M5 motorway. If you want to do more than relax in the hot tub in the sunny garden, admiring the views, Somerset provides a wealth of possibilities. There are lovely country pubs, Exmoor is nearby, and the barn is situated on a national cycle route. The excellent Oake Manor Golf Club is a couple of miles away. Ideal for a holiday or a short break, the Long Barn is the perfect country retreat for you, your friends and your family.
