The house is located on a hillside overlooking the Barle Valley. It was built in 1901 by a Bristolian businessman as a hunting retreat. It sits in six acres of sprawling gardens and looks across the hills to the Bristol Channel. The house has six bedrooms, each named after trees and individually decorated. The "Ash Room" is decorated in shades of pink and green, matching the stained-glass window.[1] In 1928 Frank Green purchased Ashwick House. He moved to Exmoor in 1930 and took as active interest in running the Ashwick Estate, which extended to several hundred acres of farmland. In those days 20 resident staff ran the house and it was regularly used for lavish entertaining. To provide for entertainment of the staff, a miniature theatre (sometimes known as the music room) was constructed in the grounds.[2] Standing on stone pillars. The auditorium is {{convert|30|ft|m}} long and {{convert|15|ft|m}} wide with a wooden dance floor. The stage is {{convert|8|ft|m}} deep with a proscenium arch {{convert|10|ft|m}} wide. The wings have trompe l'oeil paintings on canvas of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra on one side and politicians including H. H. Asquith, Bonar Law and Austen Chamberlain on the other.[3] The building has been taken over by the Moorland Mousie Trust and is being restored to serve as a heritage information centre.[4] From 1980 the house was run as a hotel but according to its official site it is now closed to the public.[5] References1. ^Jacobs, Brian, Ashwick House near Dulverton, Exmoor Encyclopedia 2. ^{{cite web|last=Mountfield|first=John|title=Ashwick House Music Room Exmoor|url=http://www.everythingexmoor.org.uk/exmoor-encyclopedia/contents-list/25-a/88-ashwick-house-music-room-exmoor.html|publisher=Everything Exmoor|accessdate=27 March 2011}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Warren|first=Derrick|title=Curious Somerset|year=2005|publisher=Sutton Publishing|location=Stroud|isbn=978-0-7509-4057-3|pages=54–55}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Moorland Mousie Trust's Green Room Will Be Preservation Centre for Exmoor Pony Heritage|url=http://www.theexmoormagazine.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=175:moorland-mousie-trusts-green-room-will-be-preservation-centre-for-exmoor-pony-heritage&catid=30:newsflash&Itemid=33|publisher=Exmoor Country Magazine|accessdate=27 March 2011}} 5. ^www.ashwickhouse.com {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100620171641/http://www.ashwickhouse.com/ |date=June 20, 2010 }} 8 : Grade II listed buildings in West Somerset|Hotels in Somerset|Hotels established in 1980|Edwardian architecture|Houses completed in 1901|Country houses in Somerset|Grade II listed hotels|Dulverton |
