The Barn at Rainsbury House, is a spacious countryside retreat for up to 13 guests; the beautifully converted barns are actually two interlinked properties - perfect place for families and groups to relax, reconnect and explore the best of Exmoor and the surrounding area, each with their own space.
The Barn at Rainsbury House is a stone built barn conversion, offering a blend of traditional and contemporary on the inside, giving it a modern feel that is cosy and inviting; it is centrally heated throughout. Set within 16 acres of rolling hills and private woodland right beside Wimbleball Lake, it comfortably sleeps up to 13 guests across two interlinked wings. This layout offers plenty of space and flexibility, with two well-equipped kitchens, multiple living areas, and seven bedrooms in total. Two cots, high chairs, booster seats, plus stair gates, are available to make family holidays easier. There is also a detached games room which is fully heated, with table tennis, darts, table football, plus numerous toys for younger children. One 'half' of the property has four bedrooms and three bathrooms (sleeps 8) and a large family kitchen with breakfast table, and a spacious living area with seating and a solid oak dining table seating thirteen. There is a wood burner and barn doors open out into the private, fully enclosed, garden.

Free WiFi is available in the property. The entire property is centrally heated via an eco-friendly wood pellet biomass boiler, and there's a log burner in the main sitting room for extra cosiness (logs included). Each bedroom has a hairdryer. Outside the main house, there's a large private garden with outdoor seating and a barbecue (charcoal supplied to get you going), with a smaller outside area accessible via the boot room (suitable for letting dogs out during the evening). Both are enclosed. There is a dedicated path from the main garden to the large securely fenced dog walking field. Sheep and lambs often graze in the surrounding fields - usually a real hit with younger guests. Wander straight from the door into peaceful fields, along wooded trails, and beside the lake. Keep your eyes peeled for deer, badgers, otters and an abundance of birdlife, this is a haven for nature lovers.

The Barn at Rainsbury House has a large private, enclosed garden with outside table and chairs plus a smaller outside area at the rear of the boot room. The wider land around the property is 16 private acres including picturesque woodland which adjoins nearby Wimbleball Lake. The Haddeo River runs through one of the privately owned fields and into the lake. There is direct access from the land to the paths through the wooded hills that bound the 'Upton Arm' of Wimbleball Lake. Guests are free to roam the land and the woods around the lake. Deer thrive in the woodland and can be seen daily around the lake; they are frequent visitors in the fields and gardens too. The landscape around the property is breathtaking and is a haven for walkers and cyclists as well as for artists and photographers. For cyclists, there is a dry storage area and a convenient bike-wash area with hose facilities. And, for cyclists and walkers we have a drying/boot room in which to dry out your kit. The owners live in the farmhouse nearby.

The region
+ MoreSitting on the edge of Exmoor National Park, Upton is a great base for exploring the Brendon Hills, the Quantocks and Exmoor National Park. The property is not far from the Somerset/Devon border and the county town of Taunton is just 19 miles. Exmoor is situated in South Wes...t Britain, specifically across West Somerset and North Devon. Once a royal forest, the National Park covers 267 square miles of amazing landscapes, including moorland, woodland, valleys and farmland which has been shaped by nature and people over thousands of years. Often referred to as England's best kept secret, Exmoor is a wonderful holiday destination for anyone looking for a holiday in the great outdoors! There's so much to see and do, from short walks to long expeditions across the moors or horse riding, taking in a safari or sight-seeing at your own pace around the 'picture postcard' villages and hamlets.
If you wish to order supermarket supplies online from Tesco or Sainsburys, the owners are happy to unpack for you so your larder, fridge and freezer are stocked before you arrive. There is a wonderful 'Cook' shop in Taunton that specialises in gourmet dinners and puddings for the freezer. You can order online and they can deliver directly to Rainsbury House.
Guests are free to roam the land and the woods around the lake. Deer thrive in the woodland and can be seen daily around the lake; they are frequent visitors in the fields and gardens too. The landscape around the property is breathtaking and is a haven for walkers and cyclists as well as for artists and photographers.
