Idyllisk, Relaxing Country Cottage Dog Friendly fri användning av pool och gym

Gary and Heather have known each other since ours school days. We moved here to beautiful Criston/Loxton in 2003 with our family from our `small` 1930`s semi to this vast space and we love it! We (Gary and Heather) have been slowly and physically bringing it all up to a higher standard having recently, re-roofed it along with many other renovation and maintenance projects in between our full time jobs.

Our house, Hamwood Park was converted around 1985 from a Barn with its surrounding buildings.

We enjoy the views of fantastic countryside, love the peace and quiet and the fact that we can enjoy the fantastic clear skies at night, no street lights, people returning noisily from the pub or passing traffic keeping you awake. If you want peace and quiet, then this is the place for you along with the very clean pure air blown across the Atlantic from the Gulf of Mexico which will give you a very good deep sleep.

Also we are lucky enough to rent out a Victorian property called Polperro House, overlooking the harbour and sea, based in the Historic harbour of Polperro, Cornwall. The photo above was taken recently in Polperro

Crook Peak Cottage was originally used for breeding of horses by our previous owner. As we are not `horsey` we decided to convert from a prefabricated building. It is now a comfortable holiday accommodation enabling other people to come and share the fantastic scenery and local sights that we see each day.

Walk out of the back or front door and you are within about twenty steps of eighty plus acres of fields and on wards with views of the rolling hills of the Mendips.

LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE PER PERSON OF BUTLINS AND FAR SUPERIOR

You will come across many forms of wildlife (apart from our animals) that wander around freely. These being many forms of Deer, Badgers, Rabbits, Fox`s etc which are all overseen by many forms of birds only found in rural places - all on your door step!

We were so impressed with our builders that converted our other holiday let-Mendips View, that we got them to re build Crook Peak cottage. Built at the edge of our land, you have total privacy but we are on hand if you wish to ask for any help or advise on how to spend your time in Somerset. The property is built to a high standard, better insul;ated than building regulation requirements, cosy and all one level with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

If you like street lights, cars driving past and noisy passers by, then this not the place for you. You will be surrounded by all the things you`d expect in the open countryside plus peace and quiet from urban noise pollution. The air was tested by our solicitors upon purchase, to be told that it is extremely pure which means you will have good quality sleep. The reason being that the air has travelled across the Atlantic from the Gulf Stream being cleansed along the way which is then funnelled up the Bristol Channel bringing its warmth also.

Parking? Space for at least twelve, plus more in front of the barn.
