Welcome to Holgates, a beautifully presented bungalow, offering the perfect holiday in the Somerset countryside, just a mile from the Devon border. With a recently installed air source heat pump, solar panels on the property, ecological cleaning products and recycling of household waste, we take pride in our efforts to have as little impact upon the environment as possible, and we plan to continue improving.
Holgates is set on one level, accessed via the conservatory into the well-equipped kitchen/dining room, with wonderful views across the garden and fields beyond. In the living room is plenty of seating, an electric fire for cosy evenings and French doors opening onto the garden and views of the rolling hills.

The second bedroom can be made up into a king size bed or two singles.

Situated on the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within easy reach of the Quantock Hills and Honiton. For family entertainment, head to the Yeovilton Fleet Air Arm Museum, The West Somerset Steam Railway, or for the younger ones, visit Crealy Adventure Park near Exeter. The Blackdown Hills themselves offer some superb country walking, wildlife, flying for the adventurous at Dunkeswell Airdrome or simply enjoy the local village pubs. Within a 40-minute drive, visit the Jurassic Coast and the seaside town of Lyme Regis, and slightly further afield Weston Super Mare, or even Bath with its many restaurants, shops and museums.

What a lovely stay at Holgates. Such a clean spacious and very well equipped bungalow with stunning views over the Blackdown Hills. Great hosts that provided a superb welcome pack and leave you in total privacy.Our little dog loved having an enclosed meadow all to himself whilst we enjoyed watching him from the fabulous hot tub.We would highly recommend a stay here and enjoyed days out to Cheddar Gorge, Lime Regis, Sidmouth, Taunton and much more.Many thanks

Nice peaceful location, spacious rooms. A large enclosed field for letting your dog excercise in safety.Large patio area with barbeque and hot tub, for when the weather is good. Ideal for a chilld, warm summer evening.Well laid out kitchen with everything you need for a break away from home.Really enjoyed the games table.The welcome items were a nice touch.
