The Old Quarry — Log Cabin In The Woods

The Old Quarry log cabin is set within its own woodland area, close to the stunning Exmoor National Park. A secluded, romantic, almost magical location and yet only half a mile to the small and delightful town of Wiveliscombe. Ideal retreat to relax and unwind within the peace of the natural woodland or use it as a base for a more active Somerset break - there's plenty to see and do in the area.

The Old Quarry enjoys an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, complete with a wood-burning stove and heating throughout, making it a wonderfully warm and cosy place to stay throughout the year. Set further back, towards the rear of the cabin are three attractive bedrooms, a single, a twin and a double, which share a family bathroom, with modern fixtures and fittings. All the rooms are on the same level (there is a ramp outside to facilitate wheelchair access).

Outside, the veranda is a perfect place to relax on balmy summer evenings or you could try out the hammock. For those slightly chillier evenings, gather around the fire pit to toast some marshmallows whilst you admire the giant redwood tree that towers over the rest of the wood or, gazing even further up, enjoy the brilliance of a starry night. For outside dining, there’s a BBQ area with a wooden picnic table. There is also a swing and grassy area for which we provide a selection of outdoor games.

PLEASE NOTE - discounts for seasonal week bookings or those that run Friday-Friday. Please enquire before booking.
