An ideal retreat for any nature lovers, walkers or mountain bikers Hobbs Cottage is a charming 400 year old holiday cottage at the top of a remote valley in the Quantock Hills. The house is furnished and decorated throughout in a rustic English Country Cottage style and is very confortable and relaxed. On the edge of the Quantock Moors with native red deer visiting the garden daily and wild ponies all around. The Quantocks was the UK's first designated area of outstanding natural beauty and is a paradise for walkers and cyclists. The nearest street lights are over 5 miles away so the night sky is free from any light polution - a rarething in the UK!

The kitchen is simple with an electric range, farmhouse dining table, fridge and freezer. The floor is tiled and hardwearing and suitable for walking boots and dogs! Downstairs there is a bedroom with 2 single beds and a modern ensuite shower room. The sitting room is large with a woodburning stove, very relaxed sofas and armchairs and lots of books and boardgames.
We added an oak frame sunroom the house which has marvelous views and can be used winter and summer.
Upstairs there is a large famnily bathroom, a ouble bedroom and a single bedroom.
There is parking for 2 cars on the driveway and large gardens to the front and back.

The Quantock Hills was the UK's first designated area of outstanding natural beauty. It is an upland maritime area of moors with a large population of red deer and wild ponies. The coast is a half an hours drive from the cottage with beaches better suited to walking, rock pooling and foraging rather than swimming. Minehead (45 mins) has one of the UK's best indoor water parks.
The cities of Taunton, Bristol and Bath are all within 40 miles and have excellent shopping etc.
