The House
Feel all your worries drift away as you step in through the door at Ham Bottom; this is a house for luxury togetherness, big on features, with elegant modern interiors. Straight ahead is the games room with a pool table and table football, right next to it is the kitchen/dining room and bar - one huge and very sociable space where you can gather together for the good times.
Off the dining area a lobby leads to a utility room and WC, and to the pool hall; centre place is the pool, to one end there’s a sauna and shower. When it’s hot out push back the full height doors, let the sunshine roll in for a relaxed holiday vibe.
Left of the games room are Bedrooms 1 and 2, both access friendly with ensuite wet rooms.
Upstairs is the living room, with a balcony and glorious views across the valley. To the left are Bedrooms 3 and 4 and to the right, Bedrooms 5 and 6, all with ensuite bathrooms or wet rooms. Bedrooms 3 and 5 have room for an extra guest (extra charge – see Extras), all beds are zip and link (super king or twins).
The enormous garden is yours to enjoy; gather on the patio for laid-back barbecues, play family games on the lawn, soak in the hot tub watching the little clouds drift by, if it starts to rain, pull the cover over. The kids will love the play area and trampoline, for cosy nights head to the BBQ lodge, sit beneath the twinkly lights, toast marshmallows, swap stories.
Local Area
On the doorsteps are walks that take you deep into the glorious Somerset countryside; stroll across the fields to The Globe at Appley Cross, or up the hill to the White Post Cafe for coffee in the garden.
Browse the independent shops in Wellington, fill your baskets with local goodies at the regular Farmer’s Market. Go to Tiverton for a ride along the Grand Western Canal on a horse-drawn barges, or hire Canadian canoes and take to the water under your own steam. Round it off with a drink on Duck’s Ditty Floating Café Bar or scones in the canal side tea gardens.
Spend a day exploring The Quantock Hills or Exmoor National Park - the heathery heaths where wild ponies graze, the lush river valleys, dramatic clifftops and picturesque villages. Stroll around Selworthy with its picture-postcard cottages, see tiny Culbone Church tucked in the woods on the clifftop, cross the famous clapper bridge at Tarr Steps, visit the spooky dungeons at Dunster Castle.
For days by the sea ride the steam train with the West Somerset Railway to Blue Anchor, or about an hour away is the Jurassic Coast where Lyme Regis, Beer and Branscombe are good. For surfers, it’s further afield but Woolacombe or Croyde on the North Devon coast are superb.
There is so much to see and do round here – historic houses, watersports, trampoline parks, award-winning attractions and heaps more! Make your stay just how you want it, love each moment, treasure the memories.
