Set within a walled garden overlooking the village of West Chinnock, this traditional cottage opens its doors to a stylish stay in Somerset. And much like its location, there’s a calming presence to this home that makes you want to settle in and stay. Inside, the space has been designed to feel like a sanctuary – a place where you can slow down and enjoy life’s little wonders. Like gathering around the table and sharing a beautiful meal, or sitting by the log burner with a book. Wherever you are in this home, there’s a sense of warmth and intimacy. Friends and families will love this home – it’s the perfect setting for a restorative retreat as well as a countryside adventure. Outside, you can walk through the village and onto one of the many hiking trails in this area. And for a day at the sea, the Jurassic Coast is only a forty–minute drive away. There are some great pubs and restaurants in this area, including Holm, ten minutes away in South Petherton, a contemporary restaurant driven by its Somerset surroundings, as well as Osip, a charming farm-to-table restaurant just thirty-five minutes away in Bruton. All that said, we... won’t be surprised if this beautiful home becomes your favourite place to dine.

About Somerset
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. Follow the creative crumb trail out of East London, and...
