Sitting in the sprawling grounds of a family-owned manor house, this cute cottage is the Somerset countryside idyll. Wisteria creeps up the beautiful hamstone facade and the Grade II listed features have been carefully retained. Stepping inside the cottage, it’s surprisingly modern with a long, Scandi-chic dining table for ten at the centre of the open living space (there's dining for sixteen in the conservatory). Comfy blue sofas sit in front of the old hearth, now home to a wood-burning stove, and the kitchen is blissfully modern yet retains a country-style charm. Tuck yourself away in the family snug, set around the big TV for a movie night. Or, head outside and make the most of the fabulous grounds. The cottage itself has a private space with a wood-fired hot tub overlooking the fields and a big outdoor dining table for sunny evening barbecues. The surrounding landscape provides miles of stunning countryside to explore either by foot or bike, and local produce and wholesome meals can be found in pubs and grocery stores in the nearby town.

Home truths

    The Wi-fi isn't very strong making it difficult to stream online

    There are a few cracks in some of the paintwork upstairs – it’s purely aesthetic, but worth knowing about

    The home is split across two buildings with four bedrooms in the main cottage and three more in the converted cowshed a few yards away

    Apart from the main sleigh bed, all the beds are zip and link, so can be twins or doubles, just let your host know what you prefer

    There is an additional bunk room in the main house that can accommodate three people

    Parking is available for four cars

    A cot, high chair and baby gates are available, just ask your host

    The kitchen lacks basic cleaning supplies, so you might want to bring your own

Somerset is all about Glastonbury, right? Well, think again! There's a certain town-meets-country charm here that is enticing increasing numbers of stressed city dwellers seeking solace. And who can blame them? Rat race relocators are abandoning their crowded commutes, searching for a bucolic idyll. But one where you can still get a decent flat white – that's an absolute must.
