Lowood is located in the county of Somerset, on the edge of Exmoor, with the dramatic coastline 3 miles from the house and offers a multitude of activities for families and adventurers alike.
Set in 3.5 acres of beautiful grounds where swifts, owls and kingfishers flourish, Lowood is a large 200-year-old 8 bedroom farmhouse perfect for gatherings for extended family and friends without getting under each other's feet!
A river runs through the end of the garden and houses ducks, otters and fish.
