At Old Holcombe you can truly disconnect.

Set in quiet countryside enjoy relaxing on the farm, hikes in the Quantocks and Exmoor, and visits to Dunster Castle, all without digital distractions. Stargaze under dark skies, ride the heritage railway, and relax in local pubs, or in front of the fire in the cottage experiencing the simplicity of rural life and the peace that comes with being offline.
