The beauty of a large holiday home with an indoor pool and games room is that you don’t have to give a single thought to what the weather’s up to.

Let’s talk about the location. It’s stunning and it feels so remote, even though it’s easily reached from the A303, the A358 and the M5. Slip off the main road and wind your way through the lanes, slow as you go, glorious views all around. These are the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty/Natural Landscape of gentle rolling slopes, wide open fields and huge skies; people live and work peacefully in these hills, as they have for centuries and that timeless charm is gorgeous. The pace slows down, life is good.
And what a house! Cricklehaze has been so lovingly, so thoughtfully converted from an old milking parlour on a former dairy farm. There are nods to its past throughout the house – milk churns and jars have been repurposed as stools and lights, copper piping used as curtain poles, original oak timbers restored. It’s a big house, this; all on one floor, access friendly, family friendly, dog friendly - with a big focus on sustainability. 7 bedrooms sleep 14 (with room for another 4 guests, charged per person), there’s a massive open plan living/entertaining space with heaps of room for happy gatherings, and across the lawn, dream of dreams, an astonishing spa hall with a pool, stainless steel hot tub and sauna. Next to it is a games room/movie room, so there’s no reason why your stay shouldn’t be Relaxing with a big fat capital R from start to finish. That spa hall, that games room – like everything at Cricklehaze, it’s entirely yours for the whole time you’re here.
Interiors at this luxury large group holiday house are well worth a mention – it’s fun and it’s quirky. A funkier dining table you’d be hard pushed to find, and original artworks created by the owners’ fair hands adorn the walls, bringing an upbeat vibe to the house. It’s a cool place to be, it’s well-equipped, it’s so quiet and it feels a million miles away from the frenetic pace of life these days.
Days out on your holiday in the West Country? Well, you might not feel the need, but if you do, there’s plenty about in this neck of the woods – family attractions, country pubs, historic houses with gorgeous gardens, and the beaches of the Jurassic Coast little over half an hour away (check out Lyme Regis, Branscombe and Beer).
There are so many reasons to come and stay at Cricklehaze, one being that you’re going to have such an incredible time, another that you’ll make irreplaceable memories. This is one to shout about, for sure – book your stay today!
