Converted barn in idylic rural setting

Summary:
Take a break and unwind at this peaceful oasis.
Arriving down a quiet country lane, heading out towards the moors, Lark Rise was the meal barn for the original farm at Combe. It was converted many years ago and recently restored to provide a perfect space for 2 to get away and relax. Access is up 2 steps and inside space is all one level.

The Space:
Lark Rise is a self contained rural retreat in a small hamlet in the beautiful Somerset countryside. It has recently been refurbished and offers a king size bed, a comfortable sofa and armchair, an extendable table (ideal if wanting to work remotely from here) and chairs, TV and WiFi. It offers a fitted kitchen, fully equipped for 2 people, including a nescafe dolce gusto coffee machine, for which you are welcome to bring your favourite pods. A small selection are included in your welcome pack. The bathroom has a good sized shower, sink and wc.
For those staying for longer breaks there is now a washing machine in the kitchen.

The Neighborhood:
Combe is a small friendly hamlet in the beautiful Somerset countryside just outside Langport. Lark Rise is a peaceful haven with the gentle sounds of local farms, wildlife and the distant rumble of trains passing through.
It is a short walk to the river Parett which can be followed along the Parrett trail into the ancient market town of Langport with its many fine historic buildings. Canoeing and paddle boarding are available on the river and at certain times of the year The Duchess of Cocklemoor boat is available to hire. The town boasts an unusual collection of shops, some fine independent cafes and restaurants, a butchers with a green grocers and a bakers along with 2 small supermarkets and a post office.

There are limited buses from Langport to Taunton, Yeovil and Street to name a few. Travelling by car is probably the best way to enjoy all that is on offer.
