Country cottage B&B in very quiet rural location in the Blackdown Hills, close to Taunton in Somerset. Ideal for walkers and families. Pets welcome.

Thatched Country Cottage and Garden is situated in the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to Taunton in a beautiful rural corner of Somerset. The B&B is ideally placed for touring the South West and the south coast, with Sidmouth, Seaton and Lyme Regis, is just forty minutes away. The north coast is just an hour away, meaning that resorts such as Minehead, Watchet and Porlock are within easy reach for a day trip. The English Riviera resort of Torbay in Devon is an acceptable drive, as is the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall.

Thatched cottages are cool in summer and cosy in the winter. There is oil fired central heating in all rooms supplemented by a solid fuel stove in the dining room. If you want an out of season holiday or short break you won't be cold or uncomfortable here at Pear Tree Cottage whatever the weather. The cottage has a traditional colourful border garden with croquet lawn and kitchen garden, providing some seasonal vegetables. There is also a large conservatory/garden room and a separate summer house available for relaxation and almost al fresco meals if preferred. The conservatory double glazing produces wonderful reflections for candlelit dinners in the darker months.

Rooms Description

Thatched Country Cottage and Garden offers a family suite and a separate double and single room. We can and do sometimes accommodate two children in the single room, either sharing the single bed or on a folding bed. All rooms have a TV and tea and coffee making facilities.

Specialities

Smaller well behaved dogs are welcomed. Our Yorkies tolerate most providing they know their place. Children are welcomed too and have free run of the grounds subject to parents overseeing safety and as long as they are as well behaved as the dogs usually are! A cot and high chair are available.
