Hurstone House is a spacious country home on the edge of Waterrow near Taunton, half a mile from The Rock Inn pub/eatery, with gorgeous views in all directions. Big groups of family and friends deserve a big holiday home with oodles of space inside and out. Hurstone delivers on every level, from its seven comfortable bedrooms for 14 guests to beautifully maintained grounds with an outdoor hot tub. The house is dog-friendly, and if your group is a little larger, or you would like an extra room instead of sharing, there's a separate annexe available to increase accommodation to 16. The setting is as ideal for fun and adventure as inspiration and relaxation.
Waterrow is an idyllic village close to Somerset's border with Devon. Once a farmhouse, Hurstone has been part of the landscape for over 600 years, joining other centuries-old cottages and farmsteads. It only takes 10 minutes to walk from the cottage to the River Tone and the village pub, though take your time to enjoy the quintessentially English village scenery with stone walls, abundant hedgerows, and ancient holloways, or green lanes, worn smooth by generations of footsteps. Shops, tea rooms and other amenities are nearby in Wiveliscombe, Wellington, Bampton and Dulverton, and there are half a dozen excellent farm shops and markets within half an hour, including Ruxstons, Wiveliscombe and Rumwell.
A pool table and lawn croquet provide plenty of entertainment at the house. Step outside, and you're close to a Nature Reserve only a short drive from Exmoor National Park. Days out can include Sheppey's Cider, where you can tour the factory, buy their cider and other local goodies from the farm shop, admire the apple blossom, and tire the kids out at the petting farm and play area. If gorgeous interiors and beautiful gardens are your thing, you'll love Kinghtshayes and Dunster Castle, while Cleve Abbey allows you to admire 15th-century carvings in a serene setting. Diggerland is a must for any age - keep an eye out for their adults-only events where you can let your inner child loose! Other local attractions are Tropiquaria Zoo, the Tiverton Castle and Tiverton Canal, the West Somerset Railway, Killerton House and the Exmoor Pony Centre. A day at the beach is also possible as you're only half an hour from the Somerset coast.
Whether you're planning a relaxed holiday with friends, arranging a family celebration, or need the perfect space to host a retreat, Hurstone House is the ideal large holiday cottage in Somerset.

A little note to let you know that discounted rates apply on smaller groups: From time to time we receive enquiries from smaller groups who love how Hurstone looks but it's just a bit above their price cap or a guest who has enjoyed their stay at Hurstone and is considering coming back with a small group. There is good news, we now offer a reduced rate for groups of 10 or less. So that's all of Hurstone for 5% less. If you are interested, contact Chrys (owner) for further details .
