From the owner

The Old Bakery sits in the grounds of Town End Farm on the edge of the ancient village of Crowcombe in the heart of the Quantock Hills, the first area in Britain designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a footpath directly opposite the entrance which leads right up to the top of the hills and across the surrounding countryside which has changed very little from the days when it inspired the romantic poets Coleridge and Wordsworth.

Just a few minutes walk will take you into the heart of the village, where you will find the village church, shop with Post Office and also the excellent pub, The Carew Arms.

The Old Bakery is perfect for the traditional summer holiday or for short breaks any time of the year.

We keep a small selection of outdoor play equipment for young children. Transportation for the setting down and collection of guests and their bikes can be arranged. The property has adjacent paddocks with sheep and ponies grazing.

Further details indoors

The 17th century Old Bakery has been thoughtfully renovated and retains lots of character and charm. It has a king size bedroom with en-suite including a free-standing bath with shower attachment and one ground floor with zip and link twin beds and adjacent separate shower room and wc. The property oil-fired central heating, a log burner and its own cottage garden. Our guests also have access to extensive gardens surrounding the our farmhouse. A cot and highchair can be supplied by arrangement.

Further details outdoors

Guests staying at Town End Farm enjoy full use a large games barn with pool table, table tennis, darts and table football.
