The Annexe at Russets

Taunton and The Quantocks, South West England

The Annexe at Russets is a compact cottage near Taunton and The Quantocks in Somerset, sleeping three and well suited to a small family or a couple bringing along a friend. It makes a calm base for exploring this corner of the South West.

There's a handful of local museums worth a visit when you fancy a change from the countryside, including Perry's Cider Mill, Westonzoyland Pumping Station Museum and Chard Museum, each offering a different slice of Somerset's history and industry.

Taunton station is 9.2 miles away, so while a car is useful for getting around day to day, train travel remains an option for arriving or for a day trip further afield. Altogether, it's a quiet spot for those keen to potter around the Quantocks and the villages nearby.
