Self Catering Accommodation

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.

Stone Built Cottage Wing

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 log burning stove and barn doors open out into the private, fully enclosed, garden.

The two wings are connected by an internal door, so you can move between the two with ease or close it if you wish.

Secure dog walking field

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 as well. 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.

There is ample parking on the drive beside the property.
