This charming cottage is perfect for a rural retreat. It’s on the lower slopes of the Blackdown Hills, close to the Somerset town of Wellington, and within easy reach of the Quantock Hills – it’s a great spot for hiking, with countryside walks from the front door. The picture-perfect thatched cottage is Grade II listed, so you can look forward to plenty of period features, including beamed ceilings. Outside, you’ll have a pretty garden to chill out in, with a hot tub and outdoor furniture. It's worth pointing out that the owner's accommodation is upstairs.
