The Cart Shed (North Creake)

Details

Accessed via a private driveway, the gorgeous rural setting of The Cart Shed is accented further by adjoining pasture and fields. A short walk away is Creake Abbey, the venue for the popular Creake Abbey farmer’s market, staged on the first Saturday of every month. Here you can sample and buy some of the best local produce and browse the many independent shops; or visit Creake Abbey Café where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or an afternoon tea.

Not many properties can boast three well-appointed super-king size bedrooms, and with one large en-suite bedroom on the ground floor (the bed is set up as two 3 ft single beds but can be made up as a super-king on request) there is plenty of privacy, particularly if you're holidaying with friends. On the first floor there are two further large super-king size bedrooms, one with a day bed suitable for a child, and a shower room; divided by a stunning galleried landing which stretches the entire length of the barn. With a relaxed country-style kitchen with large rustic kitchen table, there is plenty of space to prepare breakfast, lunch or supper. Off here you will find a hallway, perfect for storing coats and boots which leads into a large and comfortable vaulted and beamed sitting room with plenty of comfortable seating set around the large fireplace with wood burning stove.

Outside, enjoy the enclosed garden with seating and barbecue provided. This is a superb space for children to play while still being secure in the garden, far away from busy roads, and is ideal for catching the last rays of sun on long summer evenings. There is a table tennis table stored in the utility room to the side of the property which guests are welcome to use in the garden and the utility storeroom is also perfect for storing bikes, kayaks or paddle boards. It is worth noting that the adjacent fields provide excellent hunting grounds for numerous raptors, with Red Kites, Kestrels and Barn Owls often seen over the wild flower meadow and Creake Abbey site.

Of an evening, stroll to the ‘The Jolly Farmers’ which serves good food and ales and Creake Abbey Café serving food 7 days a week. Alternatively, if you are looking for a unique experience, book a tour at the fabulous Burn Valley Vineyard and help with the grape harvest or join one of the wonderful Secret Suppers held at the Vineyard itself on a Friday and Saturday evening. But be sure to book early!

When you start to explore further afield, you will find an abundance of great places to eat and experiences to enjoy. Dinner at the Michelin starred Morston Hall or lunch, dinner and/or shopping in nearby Burnham Market are just two examples. For takeaways, a trip into Wells-next-the-Sea will reveal two excellent fish and chips options, at Plattens and at Frenchs.
