Ball Cottage in Winsford (Somerset) sleeps up to 5 (max 4 adults). It is beautifully equipped and comfy while having all the character you would expect from a 17th-century cottage: wood and tile floors, an open fire and disused bread oven in the sitting room. There are roses climbing up the wall.

Details 

Ball Cottage in Winsford (Somerset) features an open fire and a disused bread oven; upstairs there’s a very old leaded window; and the floors are mainly wood or tile. The cottage has roses climbing up the wall and is set in a large garden. At the back is a beautiful spot where you can sit beside the River Exe near an old packhorse bridge. When the river is low, children have a happy time paddling and exploring.  There are three bedrooms: a double bedroom downstairs, plus two bedrooms upstairs, one double and one twin. The cottage sleeps up to 5 guests (max 4 adults) so your sleeping arrangements can be flexible. The bathroom upstairs has just been redesigned; it has a bath, powerful shower, large heated towel rail and a shaver point.

The gardens at Ball Cottage are a delight. From the back door you take some steps down to a lawn beside the river, where there is a garden table and chairs. A barbecue is available if you would like to cook out beside the river. 
Please note there are also some steep steps in the garden so young children must be supervised.

There is off-road parking space for two cars on the opposite side of the road outside the barn. (Please do not park outside the right-hand doors as they belong to someone else.)
