Fives Court Cottage

Templecombe sits in countryside between Somerset and Dorset, with a pub within walking distance. Fives Court Cottage is a converted 17th-century barn, built from traditional stone with a single step to the entrance. The whole property is yours alone, sleeping four across two bedrooms: a kingsize and a pair of singles upstairs, with a bathroom containing a full bath and shower.

Downstairs, the kitchen and dining room are set up for cooking, with an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge-freezer, plus a dining table for four. The living room has a woodburner, Freeview TV and seating to settle into after a day out. WiFi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included; wood for the burner is too. One dog can stay free, though it must be kept on a lead. There is parking for one car on site.

The cottage suits families, couples and groups wanting a self-catering base for exploring the local area. No smoking inside.
