Upper Barn Cottage is a charming detached cottage situated near the village of Wheddon Cross in Somerset, offering a cozy retreat for up to four guests across its two bedrooms. This reverse-level accommodation is ideally located close to Exmoor National Park and the scenic coastal town of Minehead. The property features a king-size double bedroom and a twin bedroom on the ground floor, along with a ground floor bathroom and a shower room. The first floor hosts a well-equipped kitchen/diner, a utility area, and a comfortable sitting room complete with a woodburning stove, making it perfect for family gatherings or a getaway with friends.
The cottage is designed to provide a relaxing experience, with amenities that include oil central heating, an electric oven, a microwave, a fridge, a dishwasher, and WiFi, ensuring guests have all the conveniences of home. Outside, visitors can enjoy an enclosed garden area with seating, as well as a paddock ideal for dog walking, welcoming up to two well-behaved pets. The property also offers off-road parking for two cars and provides bed linen and towels included in the rental. However, it’s important to note the layout, which features two sets of stairs to access the bedrooms, making it potentially unsuitable for toddlers.
Located in the heart of Exmoor National Park, Wheddon Cross is a small village that boasts an all-weather court for various sports, including tennis and netball, open to the public. The nearby village of Exford is a picturesque riverside community known for its village green and traditional inns serving delightful food and drink. The surrounding area features stunning landscapes, including the Exe and River Barle valleys, and is home to Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor, offering breathtaking views across 17 counties, making it a paradise for hiking enthusiasts.
The region of Somerset is rich in natural beauty, with three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: the Quantock, Mendip, and Blackdown Hills.

In addition to the natural attractions, cultural highlights such as the Dunster Dolls Museum and the Exmoor Owl & Hawk Centre provide unique experiences. With opportunities for fishing, hiking, and cycling nearby, Upper Barn Cottage serves as an excellent base for exploring the diverse offerings of this beautiful region.
