Treacle Sponge is part of a Grade II-listed farm of the Dillington Estate in the tiny hamlet of Atherstone. This quiet and rural location makes for a great country escape for a small family or two couples looking to immerse themselves in the glorious Somerset landscape. Undeniably tasteful and boasting a rustic-chic look, this home may be quaint in aesthetic but it delivers some modern comforts that we love, including sleek bathrooms and sumptuous beds that will leave you well rested. Your hosts have also gone the extra mile in providing a welcome hamper, which includes some essentials, cakes, and local produce. You’ll need the energy for those long country walks or cycles, although knowing you'll come back to such a cosy home, you'll be motivated to walk that extra mile. For a memorable day trip out, head to the Jurassic Coast for fossil hunting and fish and chips on the beach.
