Ortensia - Somerset

Tucked away down a private track, Ortensia feels like a different world, remote from the hustle and bustle of life. This is a very special place to stay for large group holidays and family celebrations. 16th century farm buildings have been given a whole new lease of life here and the owners have put heart and soul into it, making sure there’s plenty to keep all ages smiling; an indoor pool, games room/movie room, tennis court and 100 acres of glorious farmland to roam - lush pastures, woodlands and hills, all yours to explore to your hearts’ content.

This gorgeous group accommodation stands in a horseshoe shape around a Tuscan inspired courtyard; 10 bedrooms sleep 20 guests, there’s an enormous open-plan living/entertaining space, a pergola for outdoor dining, and for braver souls, a sauna and ice bath. Any stay at Ortensia will be a dream because not only is this a house for all ages – it’s SO cool! The style is eclectic with rustic overtones and a delicious bohemian edge. It’s laid-back and happy-happy, a big fat slice of country living, with wholesome fresh air, big open skies and birdsong. Green credentials are riding high with biomass heating, hidden solar panels and the spring fed pool.

Beyond this sequestered spot are country pubs, market towns to browse, family attractions and activities. It’s not far to Exmoor National Park and the beaches of the Jurassic Coast are just an hours' drive. The M5 is less than 7 miles away.
