Not a soulless hotel but a quirky home from home with beautiful elegant reception rooms. A dramatic dining room seating 20, open fires, central heating, and large fully kitted farmhouse kitchen including electric aga, infrared sauna, gym equipment. The grounds include 2 lakes for wild swimming, boating, paddle boarding and picnics, and a yurt for BBQs/cocktails or teenage sleepovers. Firepits and outside dining areas and loungers. We can recommend a chef or house stylist for special celebrations and we can facilitate baby sitting or full staffing. As well as our regular cancellation policy, we will give 100% refund for short notice cancellations due to covid restrictions and we will shift the dates if there has been another crisis meaning the gathering is no longer possible on the dates booked.

About the host
Your host
Charlie is an author, an entrepreneur business man, a pilot and an adventurer. Amanda works in organisations promoting health and social justice. We have restored this 17th century farmhouse into what it is today - a warm cosy modernised welcoming spacious home-from-home for 16 guests - our family home and the project of a lifetime. We love sharing it.
Why they chose this property
We have owned and loved this house for 33 years. It was nearly derelict when we bought it and we have loved and cared for it, extending it using master craftspeople and constantly improving it while keeping its unique atmosphere. It was our beloved home where we raised out three beautiful children. Now they have flown the nest we are ready to as well, but none of us can bear to be parted from the house forever. As a solution we have turned it into an unbeatable home-from-home for others to enjoy as much as we do. We are not in the business of rentals properties, so each guest is treated with the same care respect and attention we have always given our friends and family when they borrow the house for special occassions. We have 8 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 2 further loos downstairs. We can sleep 16+ and we have a cot and highchair to lend. Ola is our fabulous part time house manager and she lives in a cottage tucked away across the yard and is always on hand to problem bust anything for you. We are always available for you by phone, day and night should you wish our added support
What makes this property unique
Elegant receptions rooms and a dramatic dining room seating 20+ for celebratory meals. Stunning location, unrivalled unbroken views to Glastonbury Tor. Set in its own meadowlands. Only 2 hours from London by train. Close to many famous destinations eg Stourhead, Sherborne, The Newt, and Hauser & Worth. An hour from Bath of Jane Austin fame, and Salisbury, the beautiful historic cathedral town. An hour from the seaside and a couple of hours from wonderful surfing beaches. Ponies or bikes to rent, (or bring your own pony, we have a field and stable for it). Never a dull moment!
