About this property
The Nestle - A Romantic Rural Retreat
The Nestle at Nettlecombe is our 1st floor, self-contained annexe, which is a cosy countryside retreat with its own entrance and private patio.
Just an 8-minute walk into Ilminster and only 2 miles from the A303, it’s an ideal base for exploring Somerset, Dorset, and the Jurassic Coast. Inside you’ll find a comfy living area, well-equipped kitchen, and calm bedroom.
One well-behaved dog is welcome, with walks on the doorstep. Peaceful and rural and surrounded by open countryside.

About the host
Hosted by Cerys Bentley
Active (I personally did most of the interior work on the extension, including the annexe), fun loving, married to Emma and we have a dog and a cat!
Why they chose this property
It's a very friendly rural market town. We love being in the countryside and we're close to our families.
What makes this property unique
The Nestle is our purpose built, self-contained annexe. We have tried to include all the things we enjoy, when staying away from home.
