Woodlands is situated on the site of a small holding/garden nursery within the lovely Vale of Taunton Deane on the Somerset/Devon border. Adjoining the nature reserve and with the use of a HOT TUB, this is the perfect place to relax and unwind!
Located just outside the village of Langford Budville in open countryside and within walking distance of the pub, this delightful holiday cottage benefits from panoramic views to the Blackdown Hills and Wellington Monument.
The cottage provides a good base for exploring the many attractions that Somerset and Devon have to offer and it is an excellent location for a relaxing holiday. There are walks/cycle rides directly from the front door out onto a one hundred and eighty acre nature reserve which is a mixture of heathland and mature deciduous woodlands, crisscrossed with rambling paths and country lanes. Alternatively, explore the Quantocks and Exmoor by horse back.
Open all year, this is a great place to relax and chill out with the cottage providing warm comfortable accommodation of a high standard where you can escape from crowds, noise and the general chaos of modern life.
Only five miles from the M5 (junction 26) and midway between the north and south coasts, Woodlands offers the best of both worlds - it provides you with a peaceful environment where you can unwind and relax, with the added benefit of being within easy access to the many tourist attractions the area has to offer. It is only nine miles from Taunton, three miles from Wellington and twenty six miles from Exeter.
The village pub in Langford Budville is within walking distance and offers good food and lovely open fires and there are other good eating pubs nearby.
Children are made very welcome and there is plenty to keep them occupied with toys and a play area with swings, games, slides, climbing frame, see-saw and plenty of space to play. A cot and high chair can be provided if required.
For the adults you can relax on the sun loungers, enjoy a BBQ and alfresco dining or relax in the six person hot tub which is located in its own summer house near to the cottage and has shared use with one other holiday cottage all year around.

Visitors comments:
Our favourite - "We have escaped the "madding crowd" and found a small corner of Heaven".
"If you are looking for the Wow factor, then this cottage has it in bundles. The place is stunning, has everthing you could ever need. We have been to many cottages both in UK and France and this one is the best by miles. Such a high standard and very clean." Mr G. Wigan
"The best holiday house we've stayed in. Loved the conservatory. The perfect sanctuary from modern life." Mr E
"Perfect! Our first visit to 'Woodlands', but surely not our last. Thoroughly enjoyable week in an idyllic setting. Enjoyed exploring the local area then returning to relax in luxury while the kids played in the garden." Mr & Mrs D Southampton.
"I know there's such a place called heaven but I didn't think I'd be visiting it until I was much older. The hot tub, the house, the garden was lovely. There's no other way to describe it other than fantastic." - Mr & Mrs I. Barnsley
"Fantastic value for money - we loved everything. The beds are so comfy, we didn't want to go home. Everything you could wish for and more. Thankyou. Hope to come back same time next year. We were very impressed. Oh and the kids loved the video selection - thankyou." Mr & Mrs D Northampton
"The week has flown by. It's been such a great place to stay - to coin a phrase, it has the "real wow factor". The kids loved it very much, the hot tub and whirlpool bath were fantastic. Thankyou very much for all you've done to make the place so lovely." Mr L
"Thought before we came that if "Woodlands" was half as good as portrayed in brochure we would have a wonderful time. In reality it was everything we hoped for and so much more. At one point I was determined to find something missing but I failed!! Everything thought of. We usually like to get out and about on holiday but this time we were loath to stray far from such a perfect base. Kids have webbed feet after so much time in pool. Thank you for such a fabulous holiday." Mrs M, Swansea.
Relax in peaceful surroundings by fields and a woodland nature reserve. Log fire. Play area. Soak in the HOT Tub and forget about every day stresses. Pure bliss!
