Overview
A freshly renovated loft-style hideaway in the heart of a private Somerset estate, Willow Loft sleeps up to eight people in four elegant en-suite bedrooms. With alfresco areas that sing, including a fire pit and a wood-fired hot tub, and sleepy countryside surroundings, this is a countryside retreat designed for celebratory get-togethers with family and friends.
Kitchen, Living & Dining Areas
The loft-style kitchen and dining space has impressive vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceilings windows and bi-fold doors that open up onto the alfresco patio garden. Flooded with natural light and designed for entertaining, this spacious set up is perfect for celebratory gatherings.
Next door you’ll find a the cosy beamed sitting room with chalky blue sofas, an open brick fireplace and egg-shell blue walls. And stylish, newly fitted floor boards run throughout.
The Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Downstairs, you’ll find the four en-suite bedrooms – all beautifully designed with an inviting yet luxurious country cottage style. And conveniently, all of the rooms can be set up as either twins or super-king doubles (just let us know upon booking).
Two of the en-suites have high-spec walk-in showers, one has a bath with a shower above it and the other a freestanding roll-top tub. With fragrant local bath products and fluffy dressing gowns ready and waiting, you’re all set for a peaceful night’s sleep at Willow Loft.
Outside
There’s a lovely patio terrace with an outdoor dining set up with a parasol, perfect for balmy days – plus a charcoal BBQ, so you can roll into the night. You’ll also find an outdoor sofa and a wood-fired hot-tub for soaking up the pretty pastoral views across the orchard, woodland and private parkland that surrounds the house. On the estate, you’ll also find shared padel courts available for guests to book (please ask our sales team for further details).
Dogs
Willow Loft is happy to accept two dogs for a fee of £50 per dog. Please note that dogs are not allowed in any of the bedrooms or on any of the furniture.
