About this property

The Old Bakery (Sleeps 4. 2 Bedrooms)

Awarded the prestigious EnjoyEngland 4 Star Gold Award 2011-2017 for quality accommodation and customer service, Town End Farm and its adjoining cottages are situated on the edge of the ancient village of Crowcombe in the heart of the Quantock Hills, the first area in Britain designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a footpath directly opposite the farm entrance which leads right up to the top of the hills and across the surrounding countryside which has changed very little from the days when it inspired the romantic poets Coleridge and Wordsworth. Just a few minutes walk will take you into the heart of the village, where you will find the village church, shop with Post Office and also the excellent pub, The Carew Arms. The cottages are tastefully decorated throughout. Each has a separate garden and guests also have access to the owners large gardens and paddocks. We have tame miniature ponies and sheep grazing in our paddocks.

Everything you need

The pretty little cottage was one of the best equiped properties we have stayed in and the hosts very helpful but unobtrusive. Visiting the ponies and the games barn added to the expereince. There is loads to do in the area for families with teens - although with covid increasing visitor numbers and decreasing capacity many things needed to be booked in advance. We went cycling, sea kayaking, horseback riding , canoeing, caving and climbing which kept both teens happy. A great place to stay for a holiday.

beautiful, cosy and very well equipped cottage in perfect location between Quantocks and Exmoor! !

we enjoyed our week in your beautiful & cosy old bakery very much! The cottage is very nicely decorated and very well equipped, and we felt very welcome on arrival - after a very long journey all through the night from Germany - with a bouquet of flowers and scones with cream, thank you:-) We had sunny spring weather and could enjoy as well the wonderful smell of the flower-filled garden with leasurely breakfasts . And we enjoyed the hiking trails in the Quantocks and Exmoor, Dunster Castle, Glastonbury..all near by. Thank you for your hospitality:-)
