The House
Step into the wide hallway where to the right is the games room; a short flight of stairs takes you to Kingshay Odeon - a mini cinema with tiered seating for 18, floor cushions, air con, interval lights, surround sound and an enormous screen. Also off the games room are the snug, and through a lockable door, the spa hall with a pool, sunken hot tub and sauna.
Left of the entrance hall is a vast open-plan living space. There are plush velvet sofas, a long bespoke dining table, and a very swish and fully-equipped kitchen. Light floods in through floor to ceiling windows, French doors open to the garden; this is a room for luxury togetherness, perfect for happy family celebrations. Off the kitchen there’s a utility room and an inner hallway with access to the courtyard - handy for when you've been for a romp across the field with the dogs.
Upstairs are Bedrooms 1-3; Bedrooms 4-6 are off the inner hall, and Bedrooms 7-10 are in the attached former stables, accessed from the front courtyard. Bedrooms 1, 5 and 6 have room for an extra guest bed for age 12 years and under (extra charge - see Extras). The bedrooms are named after hamlets, fields, woods and farms on the Coombe Farm Estate, all beds are zip and link (super king or twin).
At the back of the house there's a big patio leading onto lawns and pathways that meander round to a mini henge, and the rustic BBQ bothy. The grounds are a dream, with trees all around, flowers tumbling onto the grass, and plenty of room to run around. A gate leads down to a stream, in the walled orchard another stream babbles merrily along; in springtime the apple trees are frothy with blossom.
Local Area
Stroll into the countryside on footpaths through the fields from the end of the garden; a little further away you can walk the ramparts at Ham Hill Country Park or amble through Wayford Woods where rhododendrons bloom in springtime.
Crewkerne is only a few minutes away, with supermarkets, independent shops, cafes and pubs, an Antiques Bazaar, and a15th century church. Over the border in Dorset you can take in the buzz of Bridport on market day and mooch around the Vintage Quarter.
 Spend days on the beach at Lyme Regis where you can enjoy boat trips and visit Dinosaurland Fossil Museum; go fossil hunting at Charmouth, take a clifftop walk on the South West Coast Path, have lunch at Hive Beach Café at Burton Bradstock.
If you like historic houses with glorious gardens Forde Abbey and Mapperton House & Gardens are within easy reach. Venture further to explore the Dorset heaths and see Thomas Hardy’s Cottage, or discover Dorchester where you can visit The Tutankhamun Exhibition, the Roman Town House, and the Teddy Bear Museum.
You’ll find family attractions like Haynes Motor Museum and Fleet Air Arm Museum within easy reach, and there’s so much to do - golf at Cricket St Thomas, clay pigeon shooting and fishing at Coombe Farm, and pony trekking at Hillview Riding Stables.
