Merry Oaks, situated in the picturesque town of Watchet, Somerset, offers a delightful retreat for families and groups seeking to experience the stunning landscapes of Exmoor National Park and the West Somerset Coast. This spacious vacation home comfortably accommodates up to 11 guests across four well-appointed bedrooms, including one with an en-suite shower. The property features a family bathroom equipped with an electric shower over a luxurious whirlpool bath, and a sofa bed in the sitting room provides additional sleeping arrangements, albeit as a small double bed. The home is pet-friendly, allowing guests to bring their furry companions along for the adventure.
The heart of Merry Oaks is its expansive open-plan kitchen diner, which boasts breathtaking views of the Quantock and Brendon Hills. This inviting space leads out to a secluded south-facing patio, complete with outdoor furniture, a barbecue, and a patio heater, making it perfect for al fresco dining. Guests can enjoy leisurely afternoons by the pond, although caution is advised as it is unfenced. For entertainment, there is an outdoor ping pong table, designed more for casual fun than competitive play. A newly added wood-fired hot tub, which seats six, provides a relaxing escape, and logs are supplied for convenience. The sitting room features an open fire, ideal for cozy evenings, alongside a large smart TV with Netflix and a collection of DVDs, books, and board games for all ages.
The location of Merry Oaks is a nature lover's dream, with nearby footpaths offering access to scenic walks that provide stunning views across the Bristol Channel to Wales and along the local Washford River. Within a mile, guests can find two local pubs serving delicious food and featuring pleasant outdoor seating. The property is also conveniently located near attractions like Washford Station on the West Somerset Steam Railway, Torre Cider Farm, and Tropiquaria. For those interested in history, the medieval village of Dunster and its National Trust castle are a short distance away.
For those wishing to explore further, Merry Oaks serves as an excellent base for day trips to notable destinations such as Glastonbury, Bristol, the Roman city of Bath, and Exeter. Outdoor enthusiasts can venture to Cheddar Gorge, Wooky Hole Caves, and Forde Abbey Gardens, or enjoy the surfing beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde in North Devon. Watersports are available at nearby Wimbleball Lake, and fly fishing can be enjoyed at Clatworthy Reservoir. The tranquil rural setting of Merry Oaks is not only perfect for relaxation but also for wildlife spotting, with deer, foxes, woodpeckers, owls, and bats frequently visible from the garden, enhancing the overall experience of this charming holiday home.
