Overview

It sleeps groups of up to 120 across spacious dorms, twin and single rooms, many ensuite. Ideally suited to schools, clubs, groups of friends and family, weddings and celebrations, there are 5 workrooms, a large dining room (situated in the historic Great Hall), plenty of communal areas with drink making facilities, a large games room and a cosy bar. FSC Nettlecombe Court offers excellent access to the Somerset coast, Exmoor National Park (a Dark Skies area) and The Quantocks AONB. The centre is available on a sole use basis with the option of self catering or full board. A whole range of outdoor activities can be arranged on and off site.
