💗 ORTENSIA - Somerset

If you dream of being tucked away deep in the heart of the Somerset countryside for a large group holiday, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life, Ortensia is just the place for you. 🌳✨ This stunning holiday house is nestled among 100 acres of organic farmland, with views that stretch as far as the eye can see. The old farm buildings have been lovingly converted into a supersized, luxurious group accommodation that’s peaceful, secluded, and undeniably beautiful.

Ortensia is set in a horseshoe shape around a Tuscan-style courtyard 🌸, offering 10 bedrooms that sleep up to 20 guests. The spacious open-plan living and entertaining area is perfect for making memories during family celebrations 🎉. You’ll have exclusive use of the indoor spring-fed pool 🏊‍♀️, a games room 🎮, a movie room 🎬, and even a tennis court 🎾—there’s something for everyone, no matter your age. The eclectic, rustic, and bohemian interiors create the perfect vibe for a truly relaxing stay, and when the weather’s warm, you can enjoy evenings outside beneath twinkling lights ✨, gazing at the stars, surrounded by peaceful countryside.

While you might be perfectly content just soaking up the serenity of Ortensia, the local area has plenty to offer. Take a wander through the fields 🌾 or stroll down the old sunken lane, a magical tunnel of trees 🌳. Spot little fairy doors and hunt for lucky 4-leaf clovers 🍀 in the meadow—truly idyllic! After your adventures, take a walk up to The Globe Inn for a hearty lunch 🍴, or pop into Wellington for the Farmer’s Market to fill your baskets with local goodies. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a French Tartin at Odette’s Tea Room on the high street 🍰.

For a bit more exploration, head to Tiverton for a relaxed horse-drawn barge ride along the Grand Western Canal 🚤, then stop by Duck’s Ditty Floating Café Bar for a refreshing drink 🍹. Take the kids to Tropiquaria Wildlife Park 🦓, hop on the West Somerset Railway for an old-fashioned steam train ride 🚂 to the seaside, or explore the medieval Dunster Castle, perched high above the village 🏰.

Exmoor National Park 🌿 is nearby for those seeking adventure, with wild ponies 🐴, red deer 🦌, and breathtaking moorland views. Climb to Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor, and soak in the panoramic views 🌄. Explore the river at Tarr Steps or treat yourself to a cream tea in Dulverton ☕, surrounded by quaint thatched cottages in Selworthy.

For a coastal day trip 🏖️, head to the Jurassic Coast, where the charming villages of Beer and Branscombe await. Enjoy a snack at the beach cafes 🍴 or take a walk along the South West Coast Path with sweeping sea views 🌊. For family fun, Lyme Regis is a must-visit, where you can explore the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum 🦕, visit the marine life aquarium 🐟, or even charter a boat for a mackerel fishing trip 🎣.

There’s so much to explore, but we wouldn’t be surprised if you simply choose to stay put at Ortensia and relish every moment of your large group holiday. 🌟 Fresh air, birdsong, and wide-open skies await you in this country paradise—this is country living at its best.
