Bournestream is a relaxed family home with an ample garden and heated outdoor swimming pool enclosed by a fence. The pool is available in the summer months, obviously weather permitting! There is plenty of private, free parking on tarmac. All rooms have their own entrance doors for the privacy and convenience of guests. Wifi is available in all rooms and some of the garden. All rooms have flat screen televisions and tea and coffee making facilities. We are two miles from the Golden Retriever Experience at Carhampton.
I have been doing Bed and Breakfast since I moved to Bournestream in 1990 and constantly strive to provide a welcoming and comfortable home from home for my guests.
Bournestream is situated conveniently close to Dunster Castle and deer park, the Quantock Hills and the Exmoor National Park for guests who enjoy fresh air and exercise. The West Somerset Heritage Railway runs within half a mile of Bournestream with its nearest station at Washford or Blue Anchor, both no more than a 5 minute drive away.
