If there's anything more romantic than this charming, converted horsebox with glorious views of the surrounding farmlands and rolling Somerset countryside beyond, we want to hear about it. Lovingly transformed into a cosy home, with rustic yet stylish furnishings you'll want for nothing here. This unique home brings together the joys of camping (fresh air, barbecue dinners, stargazing till late beside the firepit) with the comfort of a boutique hotel room. Think quality bed linens, a plush sofa and fireplace to nestle up beside, vases of freshly cut flowers, and an enormous bathroom complete with a rainfall shower. But outside is really where the magic happens here. By day, pick fresh herbs from the garden at your front door to season your picnic sandwiches, best enjoyed down by the tree-dappled pond. And at night, we can't think of anything better than reclining on the outdoor sofas and admiring those rural views with a glass of something chilled as the sun goes down. Should you ever be persuaded to leave this little idyll, you'll find an award-winning traditional inn just a five-minute walk away in the historic village of Mells, thought to be one of the prettiest in Somerset. Or jump... in the car and head for the vibrant town of Frome, just an eight-minute drive away.

Here you will find the finest examples of Georgian and Regency-era architecture in Britain,...
