Ashwick House is an Edwardian mansion four miles northwest of Dulverton, Somerset, faces the Barle Valley and commands fine views of the countryside. It has six bedrooms. The bedrooms, named after trees, are individually decorated; the Ash Room is in shades of pink and green to match its stained-glass window.
Ashwick House is a unique Edwardian country house built in 1901 as a hunting lodge for a wealthy Bristol businessman. Today, it still nestles in splendid isolation on the south eastern edge of the Exmoor National Park, overlooking the lush woodland that enfolds the River Barle in the heart of sporting country. The house has had a variety of colourful owners and was lovingly restored and turned into a hotel in 1980.
Today, Ashwick House sits in private grounds extending to six acres of sweeping lawns and water gardens, frequented by local animals and birds.
At the heart of the house is a baronial style galleried hall which still boasts the original William Morriss wallpaper.
