About this house rental
This Georgian family property dating from 1734, has been completely renovated and is approached by a curving drive through its own parkland and is situated with a southerly aspect enjoying far reaching views over the lake and surrounding glorious countryside. The rear of the house is enfolded by a beautiful traditional terraced walled garden with a private heated indoor swimming pool and a fully equipped gym.
Whether it is a weekend away with friends or a family celebration, Oakhampton park is the perfect luxury venue.
Oakhampton park is not a hotel, it is a relaxing family home, sumptuously comfortable, with plenty to entertain you and your children whatever the weather. You will have exclusive occupancy of the house, garden and facilities for your stay, so the feeling of privacy is complete.
There are 12 double bedrooms, most with private bathrooms, each with their own unique character.
**** Please ask me any questions via the adjacent tab before requesting a booking date****
Facilities available on site include:
Heated indoor swimming pool
Scandinavian Sauna big enough for 12 people
Gym
Beautiful lakeside, woodland and rural walks
Snooker room
Table Football
Croquet Lawn
Table Tennis
Darts
Wifi Throughout
Sky Sports TV
Clay pigeon trap (tuition can be arranged)
The relaxing accommodation includes 2 elegant drawing rooms with open fires, a dining room seating up to 24, snooker room, three separate television areas, and plenty of private nooks where you can curl up with a good book.
The area is wonderfully rural with country pubs and small local villages close by.
Wiveliscombe, just 2 miles away, has a thriving centre where you can browse in tempting independent shops. You could organise a day of horse trekking or cycling on the Quantock hills, take a trip on the steam railway to Minehead, or visit one of the many historical sites in the area. Or you could just relax by the pool and enjoy good company.
Well behaved dogs are welcome and there are long or short walks for them to enjoy over the farmland or down to the lake and woods. We are only a short drive away from many beautiful walks over the Quantock Hills or along the coast. Blue Anchor beach is especially beautiful and very welcoming to dogs.

What a fabulous place to stay! We had the most relaxing holiday and there is so much to do at the house. The pool was exceptional as was the sauna. There is table football and a full sized snooker table which we enjoyed in the evenings after dinner.
It was like having a fabulous hotel all to ourselves. The location is very quiet but close enough to town to just have a short drive for dinner.
Would definitely recommend!

Lovely big house for 25 of us. The dining room was perfect. Plenty of utensils and amenities in the kitchen area. All rooms and bathrooms were clean. Snooker room a hit. Swimming pool was fabulous. Kids had so much fun (so did adults ). Views and gardens lovely. Would recommend.

The accommodation was perfect for a large family of various ages. Every amenity you could think of was available and countryside was beautiful.

We loved this rambling house set within beautiful gardens and all had a very happy and relaxed stay. Despite being a large group (25 at times) there was a great feeling of space and a quiet spot could always be found for reading or a quiet catch up. The grandchildren loved the pool and spent hours there each day. Older family members enjoyed evenings playing snooker. All spent much time in the garden - from breakfast in the sunshine through to wine in the evenings. A memorable stay and enjoyed by everyone - from 7 to 80!

Booked the big house at Oakhampton park for our 50th wedding anniversary with the family, needed one big enough for 21 guests and it didn’t disappoint, bedroom’s a good size, plenty to do, seating in the garden for outdoor bbq and drinking, large pool which we all spent a lot of time in. We all had a great time, Jim (owner) was very helpful.

We are so thrilled with our stay at Oakhampton Park and look forward to returning. The setting is idyllic, the house is spacious, pool is lovely and perfect for little ones, and the croquet lawn got more use than we imagined. We will remember this happy week for years to come.

Mums 60th birthday
The facilities were excellent, we loved the swimming pool and gardens. We were celebrating my mums birthday with our entire family and found the property to be spacious enough for all of us (25+ people). The house was a great place to celebrate, listen to music, eat, drink etc and we all had a great time.
Jim was accommodating and easy to communicate with. At the end of our stay we all wished we’d stayed for a few more nights.

We he such a wonderful stay, it’s a beautiful house and layout with lots of sociable rooms to be able to all get together in.
The gardens were so lovely, we were fortunate with the weather and it literally felt like we were not in the UK sitting by the pool.
We would definitely stay again

We booked a weekend break - a large group of 23 including children. The property is nice and rural, the nearest village about 5 minutes drive away. The grounds are great, the kids enjoyed exploring and playing sports on the lawns. The biggest hit though was the indoor pool, which we struggled to get them out of ! A fantastic size for 11 children to swim in.
The facilities of the house are OK, a little bit dated but there was plenty of crockery, glasses etc for a large group.
The configuration of the bedrooms was fine for a group of adults and children.
In summary, we enjoyed our time at the house, and made lots of good memories for everyone to take home.

Sitting in the gardens enjoying a glass of wine. Swimming in the pool and having a splash around with our friends,getting together for a group meal what a wonderful place it was our only complaint we wanted to stay longer.

Excellent location. Beautiful house & grounds. Excellent swimming pool. Unfortunately, no sauna (as advertised) - broken down, awaiting part apparently. Poor gym equipment - no working controls on either cross-trainer or cycle, & some other equipment rather 'tired'.

Fabulous Country Weekend with Friends
Jim’s property was the perfect country escape - the house is spacious, with great character and made it very easy to entertain a large group!
Jim was incredibly helpful, giving us tips on local chefs and activities. Highly recommend doing clay pigeon shooting while you’re here!
Check in and out was easy, and Jim was always accessible via phone and the VRBO app.
Only thing to note is it is BYO towels - Jim reminded us before we came down! Overall, highly recommend this property!

THANKYOU Jim for making our xmas

We had a lovely week together (18 adults, children and babies) at Oakhampton Park. It was such a treat to spend time with everyone and for the children to catch up with their cousins after over a year apart due to Covid. The pool is amazing!
A plan of the house would be helpful to help plan for who sleeps where! It's so big, with different staircases and bedrooms in different locations that it was a bit tricky to work out who should go where to be close to their children. Also, we hadn't appreciated that two of the bedrooms were separate and outside - this wasn't an issue for us but do think it would be helpful if that was clearer on the details.
Beautiful house, gardens and location - would recommend

Perfect for family celebration
Delightful, a very happy week at Oakhampton House. Jim was always able to help with small problems, made us feel very welcome. The house is ideally laid out for our children and their family groups, giving each family their own space and facilities. Garden is breathtaking, pool is as good as you'll find in any such property.

Fabulous property full of character. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. The facilities meant that rainy days were still fun esp the indoor heated swimming pool. The house is very well equipped. I highly recommend contacting Bird HIlls Days for a fun lesson in clay pigeon shooting.
