The scent of Somerset apple orchards drifts through the valley, and inside Hartwood House the kettle's always on.

This is one for couples after a proper bed and four walls, or anyone who's done their time on a cold groundsheet and fancies a weekend upgrade. The guest house rooms give you that country-house feeling without the fuss, while the camping pod out back splits the difference if you want a bit of both worlds. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you've got a four-legged travel companion.

WiFi keeps you connected if you need it, though Somerset's gentle hills and cider-country lanes might tempt you offline. Campfires are a check-on-arrival situation, so have a word when you turn up if you're hoping for an evening by the flames. Open all year round, it's the sort of place that works as well for a crisp January escape as a long summer evening, with that relaxed, homely vibe you get when someone's actually living there and looking after the place properly.

Taunton Deane Circular Walk 1

Loops through gentle Somerset countryside around Taunton, mixing field paths, quiet lanes and canal towpaths with minimal elevation change. Perfect for families and buggies on firmer sections, though some stiles and farmland gates may require lifting. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock. Offers peaceful rural views, historic villages, and easy access to refreshments in Taunton – ideal for a relaxed half-day amble without challenging terrain.

Quantock Greenway

Stretches 62.5km across the Quantock Hills, mixing gentle lowland paths with moderate climbs through heather moorland and ancient woodland. Terrain varies from flat lanes to steady inclines; best tackled in sections rather than one go. Families can manage shorter segments, though buggies won't cope with rougher moorland stretches. Dogs welcome throughout. Delivers sweeping Somerset views, red deer sightings, and a proper taste of AONB landscapes without technical difficulty.

West Deane Way

Follows a gentle to moderate ridge walk across the Quantock Hills in Somerset, with some steady climbs rewarded by sweeping views over the Bristol Channel and surrounding countryside. The clear, well-marked paths suit confident families with older children (8+), though the length and occasional steep sections make it unsuitable for buggies and challenging for little legs. Dogs welcome and will love the open heathland sections. Worth tackling for the dramatic panoramas and the sense of wilderness

King Charles III England Coast Path: Brean Down to Minehead

Follows the dramatic Somerset coastline with varied terrain from level beach promenades to steep clifftop ascents, particularly around Brean Down and Hurlstone Point. Challenging for families with young children and unsuitable for buggies due to steps, uneven paths and significant elevation changes. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Worth doing for spectacular Bristol Channel views, historic landmarks including medieval Dunster Castle, and the chance to spot seabirds
