Description Garden's View: Ruggin

This charming cottage is perfect for a rural retreat. It’s on the lower slopes of the Blackdown Hills, close to the Somerset town of Wellington, and within easy reach of the Quantock Hills – it’s a great spot for hiking, with countryside walks from the front door. The picture-perfect thatched cottage is Grade II listed, so you can look forward to plenty of period features, including beamed ceilings. Outside, you’ll have a pretty garden to chill out in, with a hot tub and outdoor furniture. It's worth pointing out that the owner's accommodation is upstairs.

Home truths:
*One well-behaved dog is welcome to join you. Your host is also happy to accept horses as they have stabling and turnout facilities.
*There’s off-road parking for two cars here.
*The king-size bed in bedroom one can be split into twins if preferred – just let your host know when you book.
*This home is connected to the owner’s accommodation upstairs, but it’s completely soundproofed.
*The ceilings are low – this is a 16th-century home.
