If you seek great fishing, scenic walks, and fun horse-back riding then you should look no further than Lovelynch Barn in Somerset. It has all of this and more.

The strange thing about Somerset though, is that so many people forget about it. Maybe because it is so near to the popular holiday cottages Devon and Cornwall counties that people tend to overlook it. However, if you are after a relaxing get away then a trip to this rural retreat is one of your best options. After all, your holiday doesn’t necessarily need to be packed with events like going to the latest clubs and staying out all night drinking yourself silly. That might be fine for another time, but if you are after peace and solitude then Somerset is where you want to be.

What’s even better about Lovelynch Barn though, is that it isn’t just your typical rural retreat. Sure, it’s got breathtaking views of the countryside and enough clean and fresh air to fill your lungs to their content, but it also has a wilder side to it. Well, at least a side that is unique and singular as there are alpacas, sheep, Shetland Ponies, and even the occasionally peacock strutting about. It makes for a bit of spice to what is normally a quiet and pacifying day.

Despite all this wonderful talk about the surroundings, you may want to know more about the barn itself. Well, it was built sometime in the early 17th century, so it has all the wonderful Jacobean architectural features to it that you could want. Plus, the barn can sleep up to four people with its two, double-suite bedrooms. Not to mention that the remainder of the dwelling is decked out in modern features such as a plasma TV, DVD player, and CD/DVD library. This is all to say that even if you have enough of the beautiful scenery, you can always escape back into the land of electronics.

So, what can we take from all of this? Well, first and foremost, just because you may not have heard of a place doesn’t mean that it’s not the place to go. After all, even the most popular current holiday destinations started out as good secrets. The second thing is that if you are someone who enjoys the right mix of quiet countryside and contemporary comfort then the Lovelynch Barn may just be for you. All you need to do is a quick bit of research and discover more for yourself.
