Triscombe Farm Country Cottages - Coachman’s Cottage

Coachman's Cottage is a one-bedroom property on the Triscombe Farm estate in Somerset, sleeping two people. Upstairs is a double bed; downstairs, a living and dining room with woodburner and TV, plus a kitchen with electric cooker and full-sized fridge. The bathroom has a bath and separate toilet. Bed linen and Wi-Fi are included; electricity is metered at 25p per unit, and initial logs for the woodburner come with the cottage.

The main draw here is the heated indoor swimming pool, 9.7 metres by 4.2 metres and kept open all year. It's shared with other cottages on the farm and needs to be booked when you arrive. You also have access to extensive grounds with a barbecue area, garden furniture and a bike store, plus allocated parking on site. A washing machine and tumble dryer are available if you request them in advance. The property is no-smoking throughout.

This works well for couples looking for a quiet break in the Somerset countryside, with good walking and cycling nearby. There is a stream on the grounds, so if you're bringing children, do keep an eye on them; children under 11 are not accommodated except infants in arms.
