Sleeping ten guests across five bedrooms, this romantic hideaway lies in Somerset’s rolling countryside between the quaint villages of Maperton and Holton. It’s perfectly placed for families or a group of friends who want to enjoy a relaxed holiday together in beautiful surroundings, with countryside charms abundant throughout the region from Somerset to neighbouring Dorset and Wiltshire. It’s a truly charming retreat where it’s easy to unwind in the spacious garden and cosy interiors making it ideal for guests who want to escape busy lives. The historic market town of Sherborne is just a short drive away in Dorset (7.5 miles). Step inside this historic farmhouse, where there’s a very homely feel here from the spacious stone-flagged entrance hall to the living room and snug with Smart TV and garden views. Leave coats and boots in the cloakroom where there’s a convenient WC, and whisk muddy gear back to new in the utility room. Unwind in the most comfortable living room seating and catch up on favourite programmes on the Smart TV by an open fire. Gather around for family feasts in the elegant dining room where there’s ample seating for your gang. Step down from the dining room to the kitchen and breakfast room where culinary kings and queens will love the electric Aga with four ovens, a variety of kitchen appliances, and a vaulted oak beam ceiling. Find five pretty bedrooms upstairs, including two king-size en-suite bedrooms and a family bathroom - try to claim the bedroom with the French doors and Juliet balcony! Enjoy morning coffee outside in the spacious enclosed garden with a seated patio area where you can enjoy dreamy views of the mature gardens and make plans for a new day of adventures. Ample off-road parking is available for guests, and there’s a pub within walking distance and a shop nearby (3 miles).
