near Cheddar, Wells, Somerset. |

Set in a secluded
position high in the Mendips above Cheddar Gorge
(and just 3 miles from Cheddar), these three
attractive barn conversions make an excellent base
for walkers and nature lovers. This Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty is rich in bird and
wildlife, including badgers and deer (which visit
the farm). Animals on the farm include calves, pygmy
goats, alpacas, rabbits and guinea pigs. Nature
trails criss-cross the surrounding hills, easily
accessible from the farm, and the whole area is one
of immense historical and geological interest.
Among the many
places of interest to visit are Wells cathedral in
England's smallest city, Glastonbury Tor, the caves
at Cheddar and Wookey, Longleat and several NT
properties including Montacute House and Stourhead
and King John's Hunting Lodge in pretty Axbridge.
Excellent beaches and seaside entertainment can be
enjoyed at Weston Super Mare and Brean, and there
are many charming villages to be explored, along
with the rugged landscape of Exmoor National Park,
famous for the native ponies. The Georgian Heritage
city of Bath is easily reached with its beautiful
architecture, Roman Baths, Abbey and fine selection
of shops and restaurants. Several golf clubs are
available locally together with horse riding,
coarse fishing and trout fishing at Chew Valley and
Blagdon Lakes. Very good local inns and
places to eat.

Orchard House
- sleeps
12 - 14
Fairy Cross, Bideford,
North Devon. |
|
Stone-built, this stunning, 18th-century
converted barn has been beautifully
furnished throughout and offers spacious,
detached holiday accommodation. Retaining
many original features - including exposed
timber roof trusses, vaulted ceilings, and
natural stone - it also benefits from modern
design details such as underfloor heating,
and plasma TVs. A large central wood-burning
stove divides the dining-room from the
spacious living room - which is complemented
by contemporary lighting, leather sofas, and
original modern art.
A perfect property for the larger family
gathering, holiday or celebration, Orchard
House boasts a wonderful kitchen (ideal for
the task of cooking for a large party) which
has a large range cooker, granite worktops
and American fridge/freezer. The four
spacious bedrooms (all en-suite) have plasma
TVs and are sumptuously furnished with
designer fabrics, each one themed:
French-style, chunky rustic Mexican-style,
rich mahogany, and one with contemporary
with nickel bedstead. There are also two
twin-bedded rooms (each with plasma TV).
Thoughtful added details to pamper guests
include complimentary toiletries (even down
to handmade soaps), and large fluffy towels
- all of which give a stay that special
feel.
To the front of Orchard House is an
unoverlooked garden and patio, with
uninterrupted country views across the
fields and valley. The long stone patio area
extends the entire length of the barn, with
huge teak patio table and chairs seating 12,
with large parasol and barbecue at the
kitchen end. Trout from the
well-stocked large pond along the drive can
even be caught fresh and baked in the open
air on the barbecue! At the other
end of the patio are 8 large comfortable
teak sunloungers/steamer chairs, and from
here, the patio leads to a large lawned
garden, overlooking the valley below, where
there is a children's climbing frame and
swings.
The owners' surrounding farmland is mainly
laid to pasture, and a 25-minute walk across
the fields leads to a little known sandy
beach - Portledge beach - which is a
wonderful sun trap and well off the tourist
map, making it usually very quiet even on
the busiest summer day.

This superb conversion of an 18th-century
stables and coach house has been designed
with the living rooms on the first floor, to
take full advantage of stunning
long-distance views of the North Devon
coastline out to Lundy Island and beyond to
the Atlantic Ocean. A large balcony opens
from the spacious kitchen/dining-room ,
where visitors can relax and enjoy some
magnificent sunsets.
Completed to a very high specification, the
house is very comfortable, with beamed
ceilings and wood-burning stove. Providing
amusement for the whole family, there is a
games room for visitors' use, and a large,
secluded garden, complete with children's
play area.
Visitors are free to try their hand

and sand beach, and the spectacular south
west coastal path, where a chain of
magnificent cliffs stretches along the
Heritage Coast to Hartland Point.
The charming village of Clovelly, just 6
miles away, is one of Britain's showpieces,
with whitewashed houses tumbling down to a
little harbour. The Milky Way and North
Devon Bird of Prey Centre can be found here.
Other local attractions iclude RHS Rosemoor
Gardens, Dartington crystal and The Big
Sheep. Westward Ho! (4 miles) has a sandy
surfing beach, and there is sailing,
water-skiing, golf and riding locally. Pub
