The property also enjoys access to beautiful countryside, particularly the Quantock and Brendon Hills and the Exmoor National Park.
DESCRIPTION Yarde Cottage is an exceptionally pretty stone fronted detached cottage which has been extended over the years to provide well-presented accommodation arranged over two floors. The rooms are well-proportioned and the cottage retains much of its original character and charm.
