Traditional villages with golden hamstone cottages, famous gardens, museums and country houses - Somerset has it all. Somerset Cottage Holidays allows you to experience it all!Two beautifully restored cottages, in neighbouring South Somerset villages, offer you comfortable accommodation for self catering holidays, and the chance to relax and discover the charms of this lovely area. Both One Fair Place and Far End Cottage have a four star rating from VisitBritain, formerly the English Tourist Board. Briar Cottage is furnished to the same standard, although it has not yet had its assessment. There are numerous local attractions and a series of guides and maps are available for the use of cottage guests. The village is close to many National Trust properties and gardens, including Montacute House, also built of Hamstone. Walking is also enjoyable in this area and Ham Hill, near to Montacute, can be reached on foot. At the top of Ham Hill is a large Iron Age and Roman hill fort which uniquely has an Inn, The Prince of Wales, within it! The hill is also the source of stone from which the cottage is built. Children will enjoy the Cricket St Thomas Wildlife Park, near Chard, the location for the BBC TV series ‘To the Manor Born’. The Dorset coast is only 19 miles away, Lyme Regis famous for its fossils can be reached in 30 minutes by car. The small town of Crewkerne (4 miles) can provide most holiday needs, although serious shoppers would enjoy Yeovil (7 miles) and Taunton (20 miles). There are many other attractions including cider mills, the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton, Sparkford Motor Museum and Hornsbury Mill (known as ‘The Cream Tea Centre of the West’) - or you could simply relax in the peaceful rural atmosphere and wander around the local countryside. You’ll be spoiled for choice! Please Note: We are a No-Smoking property. Pets by arrangement. Children welcome. Check-In time: 15:00 and Check-Out time: 10:00.
