1 / 17The Apple Orchard In Somerset
Washford, Somerset
A three bedroom cottage at Washford with an enclosed garden over fields and wildlife ponds, one dog welcome, and Cleeve Abbey four tenths of a mile away.
Cleeve Abbey stands four tenths of a mile from this door and holds the most complete set of monastic cloister buildings left in England. The Apple Orchard is a three bedroom cottage at Washford sleeping five, with an enclosed garden looking out over fields, a stream and wildlife ponds. One dog.
Ponds and a stream on the far side of the fence are worth knowing about, and the garden itself is enclosed, which is the point of mentioning both. Watchet is two and two tenths of a mile with a working harbour and a beach, Blue Anchor Bay three and two tenths and rated seven by us, Dunster four and four tenths. This is the quiet end of the Somerset coast where the Quantocks meet the water, and a dog can have most of it to itself.
One dog, twenty seven guest ratings, and a position that puts an abbey, a harbour town, a beach and a medieval village all inside five miles. Five hundred and thirty seven pounds for five people is good value for a house whose garden looks at something rather than at the next property along.
