Step into the sleek kitchen, with Combi microwave/oven and a dishwasher for keeping your space tidy, where you can look forward to whipping up lovingly homemade meals for your guests, as they set the table and pop open a bottle of fizz. Gather around the dining table to savour a delicious meal as you toast to a wonderful getaway with your loved ones. After your meal, retire to the generous corner sofa where you can relax in front of your favourite film on the TV as the woodburning stove crackles nearby. If you’re not ready for the evening to end, head out to the private patio with barbecue, where you can continue the fun over evening drinks as you soak up the last of the day’s sunshine. Completing the ground-floor is a utility room with a washing machine, so you don’t have to bring your whole wardrobe and a cloakroom, ideal for quick freshen ups! As the evening grows darker, climb the stairs to the first-floor, where you will discover two well-presented bedrooms to catch your rest in, a king-size with en-suite shower room and a family room with super-king-size and a king-size daybed with en-suite bathroom, ensuring ample sleeping arrangements for all parties. After a restful night wake-up and indulge in a refreshing shower or hot soak and set out for the day, whether you fancy a swim in the lake or heading on a walk, it’s all right on your doorstep. Explore your surroundings and visit Cotford St Luke's amenities, which consist of a chapel conversion that is now a fabulous bar and Thai restaurant, as well as a well-equipped convenience store; the village also rests near two fantastic walking trails/hiking areas, The Whiskey Trail and Ash Priors Common. Take a scenic drive to the lovely town of Taunton, where you can explore the fascinating Museum of Somerset and the Somerset Cricket Museum, before embarking on a stroll around Vivary Park and enjoying a tournament at its nearby golf club. Acquaint yourself with the town at the Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life, which makes for a great fun-filled family day out and even has a vintage steam train inside! Enjoy some quality time together with a scenic walk along the Tiverton Canal, where you can watch the world go by, hire a rowing boat or take a truly unique trip on the horse drawn barge. Be sure to make a stop at the nearby National Trust site of Knightshayes Court, a stunning gothic Victorian mansion with striking interior and formal gardens offering woodland walks. For a day at the beach, pack up the car and head to Weston-super-Mare, where you can make the most of the glorious sands which stretch for miles or explore the wonder of the Grand Pier, with indoor rides, arcades, and traditional fairground snacks. There is plenty more to see in this stunning region, with a range of local attractions resting moments away from the property, including The West Somerset Railway at Bishop's Lydeard, the longest heritage railway in England; Quantock's many walking trails, the coastal village of Dunster and the vast Exmoor National Park.
