Comfortably furnished, this inviting base is an excellent choice for families and friends looking to reside in the natural beauty of South West England, with easy access to Dartmoor, Exmoor and the North Somerset coastline. Step into the entrance hall, where you can remove and store you coats and boots, before moving into the sitting room, which offers two sofas, an alluring woodburning stove set within a feature brick place and a flatscreen TV for entertainment. Allow the chef amongst the group to whip up a tasty feast from the fitted kitchen, equipped with a useful set of appliances including a Range cooker and dishwasher, while the dining table offers the ideal spot to gather for special mealtimes together. Completing the ground floor of The Granary is a spacious king-size double bedroom which can be arranged as a twin on request and caters to a variety of guests.
