Princehay Barton - Accommodation
When you stay at Princehay Barton you’ll go home with the happiest memories; this luxury large group holiday house has everything you need and more for holidays, short breaks and weekends away with special friends and family. The location is peaceful, tucked away at the end of a no-through lane in a small Somerset village, backing onto open fields.
When you step in through the door to the hallway you’ll feel any tension slip from your shoulders – let your holiday begin... Go right to the games room, with a pool table, table tennis and a widescreen TV; stairs lead up to the mini cinema, just like the real thing with tiered seating, floor cushions to comfy up on, air con, interval lights, surround sound and a huge screen.
The games room leads through to a snug, somewhere to sit quietly, to curl up with a book and take five. Also off the games room is the spa hall, accessed via a lockable door for peace of mind; this is where the wow factor really kicks in – centre place is the pool, at the end of the room there’s a ground level hot tub and a glass-fronted sauna.
Bedrooms 1-3 are upstairs, each with an ensuite shower room; Bedroom 1 (Purtington) has room for an extra guest bed for a child aged 12 years or under (charged), Bedrooms 2 and 3 (Downclose and Broadstone) sleep 2. The bedrooms at Princehay Barton are named after woodlands, farmsteads, fields and hamlets on the local Coombe Farm Estate. All the beds are zip and link, so they can be arranged as super kings or twins.
To the left of the entrance hall is the large open plan living/entertaining space, filled with light from full height windows, with doors opening onto the garden. Lush velvet sofas invite you to put your feet up, the long dining table to one side sets the scene for holiday or celebration feasts, and right at the end of the room, the swanky contemporary kitchen is fully equipped to take away the stress of catering for your large group stay. If you’re here for a momentous birthday or anniversary, hire one of our recommended private chefs (see Extras) to come and cook for you, make it one to remember.
Off the kitchen there’s a utility room, and a hallway that leads to Bedrooms 4-6 and also opens onto the front courtyard. Bedrooms 4 and 6 (Coombe and Moultons) have bathrooms with a bath, separate shower and TV, Bedroom 5 (Wayford) has an ensuite wet room. Bedrooms 5 and 6 both have the option of an extra guest bed for children aged 12 years and under (charged per person).
Outside, the gardens stretch to 2 acres and are idyllic; a large patio at the back of the house leads onto lawns and pathways that wind around to a mini ‘Stonehenge’ and the stone-built BBQ bothy where you can spend warm summer nights beneath the fairy lights. You can make use of the bothy anytime of year – just close the doors and windows and put the heaters on if it’s chilly.
All around are trees and flowers, and birdsong, it’s so lovely. A gate leads to a stream where you can have a paddle, to the side of the house there’s a walled orchard where another stream slips merrily along, and in the spring, the apple trees are full of blossom. Dream days are waiting at Princehay Barton, take a big fat slice of country living, add a huge helping of luxury and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Book today!
