The Somerset Larder

A period Somerset farmhouse with bold opinions about how a house should feel – eclectic sitting rooms in deep navy and emerald, a coral-pink island beneath full-height Crittall glazing, and a main suite where a period fireplace faces a marble-tiled en-suite. Outside, a stone terrace gives way to a generous lawn, and when the evening calls for something more theatrical, the Finnish barbecue kota with its central fire pit and stone-built pizza oven more than delivers. A shared lake with a wooden jetty, the Mendip Hills on the doorstep, and Wells, Glastonbury, and Bath all within roughly fifteen-miles round things out nicely.

Home truths:
* Early check-ins and late check-outs are available upon request only. They can be arranged close to your arrival or departure date.
* There's an unfenced lake here. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
* Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
* While the WC isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* You'll find expensive artwork and ornaments in this home, so you'll want to keep an eye on young children.
* You'll need a car to make the most of your stay here. The nearest mainline station is Castle Cary, a twenty-minute drive away, with direct services to London Paddington. Free on-site parking is available.
