Scrumpy Cottage - Somerset

Scrumpy Cottage is a two-bedroom cottage for four in Dowlish Ford, a village near Ilminster. Shops and pubs are within walking distance, and the beach is 16 miles away.

A porch for muddy boots opens into a lounge with exposed beams, flagstone flooring and a fireplace holding a wood burner, with the first basket of logs included. There is a Smart TV with a DVD player. The flagstones carry on into the kitchen/diner, which has an electric range-style oven, a gas hob, a microwave, a fridge, a freezer, a dishwasher and a washing machine. Wi-Fi, electricity and central heating are included.

Upstairs, the king-size bedroom has a TV, countryside views and a feature fireplace. The second bedroom has a single with an additional single bed, which can be made up as a single or a twin on request. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, a sink and a WC, along with heritage fixtures and a fireplace of its own.

Outside is an enclosed courtyard with seating, an outhouse for storing bikes and off-road parking for two cars at the front. No dogs are allowed. Check-in is from 3pm and departure is before 10am. It suits two couples or a small family who want a village base with a wood burner.
