With views across the rolling hills of Exmoor at the heart of Somerset you’ll find our luxury barn. Set within 2 acres of private gardens, life at this self-catering country pad was designed to be fun.
Whilst the games room will offer the opportunity to fuel the competitive spirit, it’s time peacefully spent in the gardens, or the long lingering lunches which we think you’ll remember forever.
We feel confident the whole tribe can find an escape tailored for their needs between Ridgeview’s walls. Whether its mornings spent in slumber, twilight laps of the year-round heated pool, a bracing rural hike or perhaps time simply unwinding in the jacuzzi. This is just the beginning.
A subtle Farrow and Ball colour palette creates a natural and calming ambience, while an abundance of wooden beams and natural textures give this home a cool French feel.
Eight gorgeous bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms sleeping up to 16 guests, with room for a further 2 children (for a small additional charge). Six-foot super-king beds with crisp linen sheets and tactile fabrics, make lie-ins hard to resist. With large walk-in rain showers, free-standing tubs, fresh towels, and fluffy robes, along with Bramley organic products.
A sunrise dip in the heated outdoor swimming pool, then later a glass of wine in one of the hot tubs, as the moon swings over the Exmoor Hills, you’re surrounded by the very best of Somerset.
Kids can play amongst the extensive manicured lawns with croquet, rounders, or another of the many games to hand. Grown-ups can retreat to one of the terraces or sofa’s, perhaps with a throw to offer comfort once the sun has disappeared over the Exmoor hills.
Further afield and beyond the gates, wander through the nature reserve at Langford Heath or make your way to the extraordinary beaches of Devon’s North Coast.

At Ridgeview we make every effort to be environmentally conscious with our decision making, as we reduce our carbon footprint. We have made significant investment in renewable technology include the installation of 30 solar panels to support our electrical requirement and a large Air Source heat pump, which provides 90% of the energy required to heat the swimming pool. Meaning that the total requirement of fossil fuels has been reduced by around 75%.
This combined with a water treatment plant, means that 100% of our wastewater is fully filtered on site before being returned back into the local water course.
Lastly, we provide complimentary room products from “Bramley” in all of the guest bathrooms. We use refillable bottles, therefore reducing the requirement for single use plastics. None of their products are tested on animals and all products are paraben free and do not use “microbeads”.
This is something that’s really important to us and we hope to you too.
Having spent most of our lives, living and working in Sussex (myself in Hospitality and Vanessa an Artist), family ties drew us to relocate to Somerset in early 2018. Following the sale of our business in 2021 and the prospect of children soon to be flying the nest, we were on the lookout for a new project.
The opportunity of creating “Ridgeview” really appealed and we purchased the property in October 2022. We then spent the next six months transforming and creating, what we hope you will agree is a wonderful home for you all to enjoy.
Our sole purpose or “goal” is simple, it’s to provide you with the most glorious place to have a relaxing, yet fun time away with loved ones. To help you create the best memories of precious time, spent together.
Enjoy Ridgeview and Somerset,
Dominic and Vanessa
