Pet friendly Family House in the country with views and wood fired hot tub

Merry Oaks provides a comfortable relaxed home from which to enjoy the beauty of Exmoor National Park and the West Somerset Coast. The house easily accommodates 9 guests in four bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower, plus a family bathroom with an electric shower over a whirlpool bath. A sofa bed in the sitting room provides for an extra two people. Please note as with most put u ups, the bed is a small double. The large open plan kitchen diner with views of the Quantock and Brendon Hills opens onto a private south facing patio area with outdoor furniture and bbq. There is a pond by the patio, and an outdoor ping pong table in the back yard. Please note the pond is not fenced, and the ping pong table is a bit of fun but not of true competition standard! Behind the house is a secluded wood fired hot tub, which comfortably seats 6. Logs are provided and we are happy to light it before you arrive, as it takes around 4 hours to warm. The back yard and back garden are fenced providing a secure space for dogs. There is an open fire with logs provided in the sitting room for colder nights. There is a large smart TV with Netflix. An upstairs seating area has a dvd and video player with lots of children's classics, books for children, a lego box and a selection of jigsaws. There is an extensive collection of books and board games available.
Footpaths near the property provide access to lovely walks with views across the Bristol Channel to Wales or the local Washford River. Within a mile there is a choice of two local pubs, both serving good food, with nice outdoor areas in good weather. Washford Station on the West Somerset Steam Railway is close by as is Torre Cider Farm, and Tropiquaria. Visit medieval Dunster with it's National Trust castle nearby. For those wanting to explore further afield, Glastonbury, Bristol, the Roman city of Bath and Exeter are all reachable in a day as are Cheddar Gorge, Wooky Hole Caves, Forde Abbey Gardens and manor or the surfing beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde in North Devon. Watersports are available on the nearby Wimbleball Lake, and fly fishing at Clatworthy Reservoir. The quiet rural location is ideal for spotting wildlife; deer, foxes, woodpeckers, owls and bats are freqently seen from the garden.
