Route directions

Leaving Wellington on the Milverton road, once you have left the town and crossed the river Tone at Tonedale Mill, look for the second turning right up a small farm track. Drive slowly. Turn left into the field and park. Walk to reception and we will get you setup. Sat Nav to TA21 0QJ works, but be sure to pull into the field and not obstruct the lane!

Local attractions

Strategically located just ten minutes from the M5 at Taunton Deane (Wellington Junction 26), whether your event or getaway be a gathering of friends, a child's birthday party, a family picnic or meal, even a mini festival, we look forward to your company. You can also get here by train and bus from Taunton. Come and lie in a hammock (provided) and chillout listening to birdsong and watch bats, dragonflies and butterflies. Alternatively explore the Dorset Jurassic Coast (a world heritage site), visit Glastonbury and Clarks Village factory outlet. The Blackdown Hills and Quantocks (areas of "Outstanding Natural Beauty" with Neroche Forest, Wellington Monument and old aerodromes from 1939-45). Dartmoor and Exmoor (with Tar Steps and its famous Red Deer) National Parks and the West Somerset Steam Railway (the longest preserved rail-line in the UK) are all within easy driving distance, and if you love cycling there are plenty of country lanes to get lost in the moment you leave the main road. Wellington town centre has four supermarkets and there is a One Stop within a 10 minute walk. On the North coast Watchet, Lynton and Lynmouth, Porlock, Dunster and Kilve are all worth a visit and Lyme Regis, Seaton, Sidmouth, Beer, Exmouth and Torquay are among the places to see on the South Devon and Dorset coast.
