Soak up a spa-like ambience

Close by Somerset’s Bridgwater, home to Europe’s largest illuminated street carnival and barges that glide majestically along the canal, Perrymoor Retreat is tranquil, stylish, cosy and big. Very big. Eight en-suite bedrooms sleep 16 family, friends, hens and stags, plus up to four dogs.

Muddy your boots over the Quantock Hills, then come home to a lovingly renovated, 140-acre arable farm. Converted from cattle sheds and milking parlours, the buildings are all exposed wooden roof timbers and stone walls. Those less mobile will appreciate the fully accessible bedroom, step-free access, mobility lift and shower grab handles.

Perrymoor Retreat is just that – a retreat. Soak up the spa-like ambience and chill out with tranquil garden stop-offs. Stay out there for convivial barbecues and walks around the lake and courtyard. Head back in to the snug for Netflix, DVDs, armchairs and board games in front of the logburning fire.

Amp up your stay with a continental breakfast. Ramp up the sounds with the Bluetooth. Or just bag a book from the library and recharge. Spend your evenings under the stars warmed by firepit flames. Cook on the Rangemaster in the granary. Sleep on quilted toppers on 400-thread-count sheets and wake to the song of the grouse.

Gardens and grounds

On a 140-acre farm, you’ve got a full acre of garden in which to fire up the coal barbecue, with bread and meat from Blackmore Farm Shop and the Field Bakery which can be found next door. Eat out on the terrace, with seating for 16.

Walk the tranquil grounds, say hi to the grouse, take a picnic down to the lake, grab a coffee in the courtyard. Stay out for starlit nights. Mix with friends and folks around the firepit, then mix another cocktail.

Living spaces

Be lulled into a lazy, languorous sojourn in a range of stylish farm buildings. Tranquility reigns here among lovingly converted cattle sheds and milking parlours that are all exposed wooden roof timbers and stone walls. Restricted mobility? Head this way for step-free access, wheelchair-friendly spaces and a mobility lift.

You can help save the planet here, too. Electricity comes from solar panels, water from a local spring and heat from a biomass boiler. Set up your holiday soundtrack on the Bluetooth. Stream Netflix in the log-lit snug. Bring your DVDs for the Blu-ray or play board games. Take time out with a title or two from the library.

Cooking and dining

Cook like a pro on the electric Rangemaster with dual oven and six-burner induction hob. Stock up the fridge/freezer, undercounter fridge and undercounter freezer with goodies from Field Bakery and Blackmore Farm Shop and wine from Majestic or nearby Oatley Vineyard.

Or hang up your whites and hand over to the true pros. Order bespoke menus tailored to your budget with Miranda at The Kitchen Garden. Eat around the monster dining table for 20 or out in the terrace sunshine with space for 16. Chill your drinks with the ice machine and wrap up with a Nespresso.

Enjoy lazy takeaways from Saffron in Cannington for Asian delights, Perry Green Pizza, or Admiral Blake fish and chips. Pop out to pubs such as the Hood Arms in Kilve, with its views as far as Wales, for great walking country followed by Devon crab and coriander Scotch eggs. Or the funky, urban-style Sheppy.

Going Greek? Enjoy meze-style fare at Green Olive in Bridgwater such as chicken halep and olive burger. Tackle Indian and Bangladeshi favourites at walkable Saffron in Cannington. Or get your mouth watering over Greenway Farm’s home-made borlotti and chanterelle burger on a toasted brioche bun with chilli jam or 28-day hung steak.
