BIG NEWS! We’ve just launched the latest addition to our carefully curated collection of luxury group holiday houses in the UK! Welcome to Larkcroft, contemporary yet cosy, spacious and so very, very special. The setting for this gorgeous holiday home is a secluded spot deep in the Somerset countryside, less than 5 miles from the beautiful Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park. 6 bedrooms sleep 12, there’s a swim spa with a built-in hot tub, a sauna and games room. With availability for Christmas and New Year 2026, the question is, which lucky guests will be the first to stay?
From Dairy to Luxury Holiday House in Somerset
In its former guise, Larkcroft was a traditional dairy that played a central part of everyday life on a busy working farm. But things change, and farming doesn’t get any easier, so when the cows no longer make the twice daily journey to the milking parlour, what to do, what to do? The answer came in the shape of a luxury group holiday house, meticulously converted, perfectly designed, and finished to a very high standard. The end result is an idyllic self-catering holiday house in Somerset, sleeping 12 guests in 6 bedrooms, family friendly and dog friendly.
Book For Christmas and New Year 2026
If you’re still toying with the idea of spending this Christmas or New Year’s Eve in a big house with friends and family, you could be the first to stay. And that will be so special, to be there in such an idyllic place, close to the people you love most; the warm glow of a log fire, twinkling Christmas lights, tantalising aromas of your festive feast gathering pace. That’s got to be the best kind of Christmas ever.
Group Holidays Any Time of Year
Even if you miss this season’s holiday, Larkcroft will still be there long into the future. Think ahead to 2027; perhaps a post-Christmas break to chase the winter blues away, February half term with friends and their families that you haven’t seen in ages and really ought to catch up with. Think of warmer days, a country break in springtime when butter yellow primroses bloom in the lanes and the woodland floor is awash with bluebells, think of the Easter holidays, and the lazy hazy days of a long hot summer - did we tell you it’s only a short drive to the beach?
For Holidays, Elegant Hen Weekends and Multi-Generation, Celebrations
Interiors at Larkcroft are understated, simplistic and modern, the feels are gentle and restful, and the house is very well-equipped. On the ground floor are 4 bedrooms and a large living space with kitchen, dining and lounge areas – that’s where you can gather to spread the love and the joy of a multi-generational celebration. There are so many reasons to pop a few corks - maybe Grandpop’s 70th, your parents 50th wedding anniversary, a hen weekend, or just because you’re all here, on this earth and that in itself is wonderful, so why not?
Upstairs there are 2 further bedrooms and a big bathroom, and what we love, what we love about the whole place is the expansive use of glass, how the light just pours in, giving it such a fresh and airy feel.
Outside, in the enclosed garden, you can dine on the terrace in the country air; you can climb into the swim spa, go freestyle against the current, or sit back and watch the clouds drift by, all fluffed up like pillows. Soothe yourself in the sauna, if you’re a fan of contrast therapy, take a cold shower outdoors. While away an hour or two playing pool in the games room, practice your handstands and cartwheels on the lawn, idle the days away as if nothing else matters but being here with your darlings.
Days Out Near Larkcroft in Somerset
Say you want to go out, exploring the local area, discovering what’s around? Well, that’s fine, off you go, pop your boots on and go walking from the doorstep, through the winding lanes and the fields and the woods. Take a slow dawdle up to The Rocking Horse Café for breakfast or a milkshake, pootle up to the Carew Arms at Crowcombe for a pub lunch, or to the station to embark on a steam train ride to the coast on the West Somerset Railway.
If you have a yen for the great outdoors, have a wild adventure in the Quantock Hills. Climb up through the sun dappled coombes to the high ridge where ponies roam free, stumble upon peaceful villages with thatched cottages, country pubs and historic churches. Or there’s Exmoor, with its moors and valleys, its gentle wooded hillsides and dramatic clifftops; cross the ancient clapper bridge at Tarr Steps, watch the world go by at dear little Porlock Weir, puff your way up to the trig point at Dunkery Beacon where the views roll out for miles and miles.
Days out with the fam? Take your pick! Go greet the animals at Tropiquaria Zoo, see the spooky dungeons at Dunster Castle, hunt for fossils on the beach at Kilve, wander through the apple orchards at Sheppy’s Cider and see how the famous Somerset brew is made.
A Place Where Memories Will Be Made
…Ah, but. You might not feel the need to go anywhere else at all because Larkcroft is your sanctuary, your own sequestered spot. Here is peace and contentment, here are the people you love most in the world. This is where memories will be made.
