The property
The Barn at Rapps Cottage” is a stunning barn conversion within the curtilage of a genuine 15th Century Grade II listed Somerset Long House. Full of character and Somerset charm, this thatched holiday home is a perfect place to start exploring the many attractions of the South West.
Easily accessible from the A303 and M5, yet surrounded by the splendour of the Blackdown Hills, Somerset Flats and the Dorset Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this all-ground-floor haven is perfect for a pair seeking a rural escape, with the highlights of Somerset on your door step.
With reserved parking and gardens to relax in, the Barn itself boasts original beams and a genuine thatched roof and garden view. It makes a wonderful choice for a traditional English countryside escape.
Beautifully fitted out with oak furniture, comfy sofa and intimate dining area, the Barn at Rapps Cottage is the perfect place to unwind after a day full of Somerset adventure.
The kitchen area is equipped with everything you could need if you decide to forego the many excellent cafes, pubs and restaurants in the area. With a combi microwave/oven, electric hob, fridge and freezer, it has all you need to prepare a romantic meal or hearty breakfast which can be enjoyed on your own private patio or simply in front of the smart TV with DVD player and sound bar for a quiet night in.
No expense has been spared on a 6000 spring, hypo-allergenic super king size bed with genuine Egyptian cotton sheets for a perfect night’s sleep. Or request for the bed to be made into two singles if you're travelling with a friend!
A large country garden is available for you to enjoy, with a picnic hamper should you wish to dine, or just wine, by the pond.
The nearest pub is just a walk through the countryside and offers everything you might want from a country inn. Many others offer variety and quality dining within a few short miles.
Pretty Ilminster is on your doorstep for all of your local amenities such as ingredients for your homemade meals and boasts pubs, cafes and excellent delicatessens as well as a rich history worth exploring through its stunning Minster, art gallery and concert hall.
A perfect base to explore Somerset, Devon and Dorset, there are many characterful towns, national trust sites (such as Barrington Court) and fascinating itineraries to fill your days. Pop down to the coast for breakfast in Lyme Regis before moseying eastwards to the Jurassic coast, West Bay (setting of “Broadchurch”) and Bridport. The next day, head north to Glastonbury, Cheddar Gorge and the beautiful Quantock Hills or maybe take in the pretty towns of Langport and Somerton. If you want to shop, Taunton, Yeovil and Exeter are within easy reach. There really is so much to do here, you’ll need to come back…
At the heart of the South West’s cycling network and with secure cycle storage provided, there are so many wonderful cycling opportunities within the area and in all directions. The Chard to Ilminster route is particularly popular for a gentle cycle ending at Chard Reservoir, or for the more hardcore the route continues to the coast.
The Barn at Rapps Cottage makes a marvellous choice for an escape to the Somerset countryside.
