If all you want for your large group holiday is a world of your own where you can unwind, slow down and savour those moments of luxury togetherness, Flossy Brook is for you. Any worries will drift away the minute you arrive because right here is everything you need for happy days and restful nights.
The House
Step inside to a hallway that doubles up as a games area where you can play table football; off to the left is the huge open plan living space, just perfect for happy gatherings. To one end is the kitchen where bespoke warm wood and sage green units give a lovely country feel; continue to the dining area where a long table sets the scene for celebrations feasts. If it’s warm out, open the full height doors, spill out onto the patio for cocktails and canapes. If it’s not, light the wood-burner for a cosy glow and settle down on the sofas. Back off the hall is Bedroom 1 with an ensuite wet room, and the indoor pool.
Stairs from the dining area take you to a mezzanine landing with a day bed that can be utilised as 2 extra guest beds (extra charge – see our Extras page). Right of the landing is Bedroom 2, left of the landing is Bedroom 3. Bedrooms 4 and 5 and a shared bathroom are reached via a staircase in the hall; Bedroom 5 is great for a family as it has a day bed that can be configured as two singles at no extra charge.
Outside the grounds are huge, with a south facing terrace and so much room to run about with the little ones; expect shrieks of delight from the play area, oohs and aahs from the fence by the wildlife pond.
Local Area
You might well be so happy at Flossy Brook that going out is far from your mind. But should you wish to venture you won’t have to go far to find attractions, activities, good walks and beaches.
Go for a stroll around Bishopswood Meadows, a former lime quarry that's now a nature reserve and home to a wealth of wildlife; put on your boots and walk the ramparts at Castle Neroche, or take in the tranquillity of the lost Victorian estate at Otterhead Lakes.
Like historic houses and glorious gardens? Go to Forde Abbey, Montacute House or Barrington Court. Kids want to go somewhere? Take them to Ferne Animal Sanctuary, Wildwood Escot, or head up the A303 to Haynes Motor Museum for a family day out.
For days by the sea the Jurassic Coast is less than an hour away; Lyme Regis is a must, with mackerel fishing trips, a small Marine Aquarium and Dinosaurland Fossil Museum. For a quieter vibe go to the coastal villages of Beer or Branscombe, ride the tram along the Axe estuary at Seaton, or join a guided fossil hunt at Charmouth.
Fill the days with joy when you stay at Flossy Brook, love spending time with people who are precious.Turn moments into memories.
