A few days spent tucked away in the country with your favourite people is always a wonderful idea; Overbrooks is a large holiday house near Bruton with a hot tub that’s perfect in every way for exactly that. Time to chill, time to just be; you and yours, a beautiful house and a larch-clad annexe, and at your disposal, over 5 acres of private grounds with formal gardens, babbling brooks, a pond and paddock, and a trampoline. One for the family, one for friends.
Overbrooks is not just any old large holiday house near Bruton with a hot tub; this one is special in so many ways. You’ll see that from the minute you arrive. It’s gorgeous country house living surrounded by open fields and woodlands in rural Somerset, like a world of your own that you probably won’t want to leave.
This luxury large group accommodation comprises a beautifully renovated Victorian farmhouse with 5 bedrooms, a large open plan dining room and well-equipped kitchen, a sitting room and a long, light and airy drawing room. A few strides from the door is the timber-clad annexe with 2 more bedrooms and an open plan living space where the dining table effortlessly doubles up for a game of pool or table tennis.
Pray for sunshine and it will be the icing on the cake because you get to spend time outdoors in the glorious grounds. There’s a formal garden inspired by the Piet Oudolf Gardens at Hauser & Wirth just down the road in Bruton, two brooks slip merrily along by the house, there are lawns to play on, large, decked terraces and just outside the annexe, a cedar-clad hot tub. While away the hours, contented as can be with people you love; watch the little ones happily bouncing on the trampoline, head to the paddock for a game of rounders followed by a leisurely picnic… little sandwiches, sausage rolls, hard-boiled eggs and of course, lashings of fizzy pop.
You may not feel the need to leave Overbrooks at all during your stay, but if you do there’s so much to see and do within just a few miles. Have a stroll around Bruton, with its eclectic independent shops and amazing places to eat, like Matt’s Kitchen and At The Chapel; go and see the latest art exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, climb up to the dovecote on the hill. Take a family trip to Stourhead, to Longleat or Haynes Motor Museum, get dressed up to the nines for a race day at Wincanton Racecourse.
Most of all, love every single minute of your time at Overbrooks. Whether you’re here for a family holiday, a few days away with friends and their children, a birthday celebration or an elegant hen weekend, these are days for making memories – the kind that will stay with you forever.
