Backways Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast
If you are looking for a good bed & free-range breakfast, we would be delighted to welcome you to our 17th century farmhouse.
Just 3 miles off the M5 J26, yet in a peaceful rural setting with safe off-road parking.
We have 3 bedrooms for you to choose from: 2 double en-suites, and 1 twin room with private bathroom.
Bedroom 1 is truly a room with a view, looking straight out across farmland to the Blackdown Hills with the Wellington Monument on top. Spacious and comfortably furnished with colour TV, tea and coffee making facilities and a huge new shower room en-suite.
Bedroom 2 overlooks the cobbled courtyard and vegetable plot with our visiting swallows usually zooming about from May to September as they nest in the outbuildings. Your own colour TV, tea and coffee and another large en-suite shower room await you.
Bedroom 3 is our twin room with its own private bathroom opposite so you get views from both sides of the house!
A good breakfast is served in your sitting room downstairs which also has comfy sofas and a rustic fireplace complete with woodburning stove for those chilly nights in winter.
Outside, you are welcome to ramble around or sit in the garden and enjoy the views and open skies (feel free to do some gardening too!). Or since the farmhouse is situated at the crossroads of 2 public footpaths, you could strike out further afield in any direction.
Backways is a lovely central base for a wide range of activities all within easy reach.
Taunton is 15 mins away; Exeter and Glastonbury are 40 mins drive.
Just a few ideas for you but there are many more!
