Oak Tree Barn is one of several beautiful romantic barn conversions on an organic farm in rural Somerset, 30 minutes from the Jurassic Coast. With use of a hillside hot tub and woodland sauna, and miles of footpaths to explore from your doorstep, this is a fabulous and romantic rural retreat.
There’s an onsite hillside hot tub, woodland sauna and walking trails which take you straight to the door of an award winning gastro pub. There are a few other cottages on the farm, and a collection of yurts and shepherd's huts. The farm has its very own medieval castle site - Castle Hill - which has 360 degree views across the Somerset countryside. Castle Hill was featured in Time Team 2011 - the dig revealed the footing for the tower, as well as pots, tools and trinkets from everyday life in the 1200s.
If you can drag yourself away from your ultimate relaxation at the cottage, there are lots of things to do and see in the surrounding area. Archery (2 mins), Horseriding Stables (4 mins), Coarse Fishing, (5 mins), Polo (10 mins), Electric bike tours, rib rides, dolphin watching and fishing trips at West Bay (30 mins) , golf (5 mins), paintballing (30 mins), spa at Corscombe (15 mins), cookery classes at Abbots Hill (25 mins). The town of Crewkerne is 2 miles from the cottage and has a good range of shops and supermarkets, as well as a train station with a direct link to London Waterloo. The pretty village of Hinton St George is 1.5 miles away and has an excellent village shop and an award winning gasto pub, as well as a tearoom. The cottage is just 30 minutes from the town of Lyme Regis, where you can go fossil hunting, visit the microbrewery, or browse the many boutiques and second hand shops.
