Set in 100 acres of farmland, this property is surrounded by open countryside home to ducks, hens, guinea fowl, sheep and horses. Ideally situated for exploring both Somerset and Dorset, the cottage is within easy reach of the fossil-rich beaches of the Jurassic Coast, the fascinating Fleet Air Arm Museum and Cheddar Gorge. Closer to home, an abundance of walks through nearby villages can be discovered from the doorstep, while cyclists will enjoy being on National Route 26 of the National Cycle Network.

Sympathetically updated to offer 21st century comforts, the cottage still retains plenty of original charm, from flagstone flooring to exposed beams and leaded windows. Prepare romantic meals for two in the modern kitchen, which overlooks the garden through a pretty window and contains an electric oven, microwave, fridge, table-top freezer and washer/dryer. Once prepared, enjoy meals beside the charming exposed stone wall in the spacious lounge/diner. After a long day on foot, relax and unwind in the cosy lounge area beyond where there is an electric fire, TV, DVD and hi-fi. The double bedroom is light and airy with an exposed beam, rural views and wooden flooring. The bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom with separate shower.

Charming old cottage, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The owners Mary and Bill were very welcoming and helpful. The farm shop just up the road is very well stocked with everything you could want. The Helyar Arms pub in East Coker has wonderful food and is very bad for the waistline!!

The location and charm of this delightful cottage lends itself to the perfect holiday on a working farm. Hosts, Bill and Mary were most welcoming and available, enabling us to make the most of our stay. The cottage's situation is ideal for exploring inland Somerset, with its many National Trust houses and gardens, and , also, the Jurassic coast.

A fantastic cottage which is secluded and peaceful but only 8 mins from major shops. The owners were very friendly, the farm animals equally so. Ronan the horse came to say hello each morning and the sheepdogs too. Lovely star-watching at night as no light pollution. Really recommend the local pub (booking essential), food was amazing and good valuRead moree. For those of a military bent, The Keep museum in Dorchester is brilliant. I have never been to a better place and enjoyed it so much. Hide

Very comfortable cottage with welcoming owners. Nice rustic farmhouse feel with sheep and a horse for neighbours. The reservoir next door is nice to walk round but there are very limited options for water sports on the reservoir which was disappointing.

Absolutely charming cottage in a lovely location. Beautiful views of the fields and reservoir. Sadly it was too early in the year for al fresco breakfasts but the setting made up for the weather. Friendly yet unobtrusive hosts. Would definitely go again.
