The Potting Shed is a quirky charming holiday cottage that is located in the beautiful Quantock Hills. The cottage sleeps up to four guests and is equally ideal for both couples and small families.
Converted from a redundant outbuilding, The Potting Shed is one of four cottages set within approximately five acres of woodland garden, surrounded by fields. The grounds back on to a valley of mature forestry commission woodland and are located on the lower slopes of the Quantocks, deep within beautiful Somerset countryside.
The Quantocks are one of Somerset's best kept secrets and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The beautiful rolling hills are a haven for wildlife and provide plenty of fantastic walking opportunities amongst beautiful countryside. Other local activities include fishing, golf and cycling.
Positioned near to the small Somerset village of Goathurst with its ancient church, The Potting Shed is a great place to enjoy a relaxing holiday and also makes an excellent base from which to explore the whole of Somerset and its many attractions. These include: Durleigh Reservoir where you can enjoy windsurfing, sailing and fishing; West Somerset Steam Railway where you can take a nostalgic trip back in time through the wonderful countryside; Fyne Court National Trust Nature Reserve and Hestercombe House with its wonderful formal gardens.
