The details

Nestled within the tranquil Somerset countryside, Foxwhelp is a beautifully converted stone barn that offers a wonderfully relaxing escape for couples, friends or families looking to slow down and reconnect with nature. Full of rustic charm and surrounded by mature orchards, this cosy retreat combines traditional character with modern comforts, making it the perfect base for exploring the best of Somerset.

Step inside and you’re welcomed into the inviting open-plan kitchen and dining space, where exposed beams and original stone walls create a warm and homely atmosphere from the moment you arrive. Overlooking the pretty courtyard, the kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for easy holiday living, whether you’re whipping up lazy breakfasts, preparing picnic lunches for countryside adventures or cooking comforting dinners after long days exploring the local area.

The kitchen flows through into the cosy lounge, where the woodburner takes centre stage. After crisp countryside walks or afternoons spent wandering local villages, curl up on the sofa with a glass of wine, settle in with a favourite film or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere as the fire crackles away beside you.

Foxwhelp sleeps up to four guests across two welcoming bedrooms. The double bedroom feels especially peaceful, with doors opening directly out onto the charming cottage-style garden, allowing you to wake each morning to fresh country air and birdsong. The twin bedroom is ideal for children or friends sharing and both rooms are thoughtfully styled to create a restful and relaxing stay. A modern shower room with shower and WC completes the accommodation.

Outside, Foxwhelp truly comes into its own. Step through the lounge doors onto the private terrace at the front of the property, where comfortable seating offers the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening drink in the sunshine. To the rear, the secluded terrace and pretty cottage garden provide another peaceful place to unwind, dine alfresco or sink into the bubbling hot tub beneath the stars.

Guests are also welcome to explore the mature orchard that stretches down towards the stream. This idyllic setting is perfect for gentle evening strolls, lazy afternoons with a book or watching spectacular sunsets during the warmer months.

Perfectly positioned near the charming village of Wedmore, Foxwhelp offers easy access to some of Somerset’s best-loved attractions. Spend days exploring Cheddar Gorge and its famous caves, visit the historic city of Wells and its stunning cathedral or head to Burnham-on-Sea for a classic British seaside day out. The surrounding Mendip Hills and Somerset Levels also provide fantastic opportunities for walking, cycling and wildlife spotting.

What a fabulous location, property and hosts! Foxwhelp was so well appointed... in particular, it was so lovely to have such a spacious and well equipped kitchen, a super comfy King bed and private gardens along with the use of a super apple orchard; perfect for stretching ones legs in the morning and evening with our pooch. The village of Wedmore had so much to offer in terms of a stylish dog friendly pub, well stocked corner store and a gorgeous deli plus many more shops. We will definitely return.
