Situated in a beautiful countryside location, you and your property will be just a stone’s throw away from an array of historic houses, panoramic viewpoints and fascinating footpaths to explore. What’s more, with a touch of luxury and fantastic facilities indoors and out (including a hot tub), you can take time to relax with your loved one and soak in the serenity of the area.

Experience the ‘wow’ factor on arrival, entering the open-plan living space with modern furnishings and bold, exposed beams across the ceiling. Sprawl out over the two comfortable sofas and watch a film on the large Smart TV or snuggle up together and witness the sun setting beyond the rolling countryside through the patio doors. The kitchen area is bright and spacious with plenty of space to cook up a romantic meal for two, which can be served on the elegant dining table. Off to one side, there is a handy utility area with a washer/dryer for any clothes that have been muddied during an adventure. At bedtime, retreat to the king-size bedroom and get comfortable in the robes and slippers provided while watching a program on the Smart TV before sinking into slumber on your choice of comfy pillows. This room also benefits from a contemporary en-suite shower room with a shower and there is access to an additional shower room from the open-plan living space for convenience. Leading out of a set of patio doors is a sunny terrace, complete with garden furniture and a private hot tub to make the most of those long summer evenings.

Located just 3.5 miles from the town of Yeovil, the property enjoys a peaceful location with plenty to see and do just a short distance away. In the town, you’ll find an array of shops and restaurants for a light bite or to do a little shopping. Visit one of the National Trust gardens in the area for a great family day out exploring interesting grounds and eating tasty treats in the cafes, with a choice between Tintinhull Garden (8 miles) and Montacute House (7.5 miles). For a day trip to the coast, Chesil Beach (24 miles) which stretches for 18 miles, is covered with shingles and offers a majestic walk beside the sea all year round.

The property was lovely and well provisioned. The wine chocolates and milk on arrival was a nice touch. We enjoyed our stay and the view from the balcony made it a lovely place to unwind in the evening.
