Beside the tidal River Parrett, in the heart of the Somerset Levels and Moors ( a designated Environmentally Sensitive Area) and near to Burrow Mump, a commanding hill crowned by the ruins of the unfinished church of St Michael, lies Saltmoor House. A Georgian, Grade 2, Listed Building with 15 acres of grounds, amidst open countryside with an abundance of wildlife, yet only 5 miles from the M5, junction 24 and 9 miles from Taunton.

The area is renowned for its picturesque historical villages and handsome churches, National Trust Houses and Gardens, Montacute and Hestercombe, being just two.

It is in an excellent position for walking and touring and within easy driving distance of Bath, Wells and Glastonbury, the Exmoor National Park and the contrasting coasts of both North and South Devon. Your hosts would be pleased to conduct a personal tour of these areas by arrangement, if wished.

The centrally heated house is furnished with stylish elegance, affording comfortable surroundings, log fires and flagstone floors. It has recently been featured in several magazines and a book. The front of the house overlooks the River Parrett and to the rear there is a walled garden.

A delicious breakfast is served in the garden room with French windows onto the terrace overlooking the lawns and summerhouse. An excellent dinner is available by prior arrangement.

We offer one twin bedded room with en suite shower room and two further rooms each with private bathrooms.

Regrettably the house is not suitable for children or pets.

A non smoking house.
