Is Whitcombe Cottage Right For Your Group

For Families
The barn conversion offers outdoor space for children to explore the surrounding countryside safely. Fields nearby provide room to run and play. The rural setting means kids can spot sheep, birds and wildlife. However, there are no dedicated play areas or games rooms. The property suits older children who enjoy countryside walks and outdoor activities rather than toddlers needing specific facilities.
Groups Will Love...
The exposed oak beams spanning the vaulted ceilings are the standout feature at Whitcombe Cottage. These original timbers showcase the barn's agricultural past whilst creating dramatic height and space throughout the open-plan living area. The beams have been carefully preserved during conversion, maintaining their natural character and grain. Combined with the stone walls, they create an authentic barn atmosphere that modern builds simply cannot replicate.
Pet Friendly
Whitcombe Cottage does not accept pets. The owners maintain a pet-free policy to ensure the property remains suitable for guests with allergies or sensitivities. Whilst the surrounding Blackdown Hills countryside and nearby fields would provide excellent walking opportunities for dogs, you'll need to look elsewhere if travelling with pets. The rural location does mean you'll encounter farm animals in neighbouring fields during your stay.
