This modern apartment is the perfect size for two, making it an ideal base for a romantic getaway in Somerset. Although there may not be much that is memorable about the interiors, this home is all about its location – just a ten-minute walk from the centre of Taunton along the River Tone. You'll enjoy peaceful views over the river and surrounding greenery from the bedroom and living space, but you're still well-connected to handy amenities – there's a supermarket a short walk away. However, if you're planning on cooking at home, we'd recommend grabbing ingredients from the Farmers' Market, held every Thursday.

This Grade II listed house on the edge of Taunton dates back to the 1850s. There are over two acres of land and it boasts beautiful countryside views from the huge windows inside. High-ceiling rooms feature huge fireplaces and chandeliers like the manor homes of old and there’s room for big celebrations in the banquet-sized dining area. A dedicated kids’ playroom lets you know it’s family-friendly and the kitchen is warmed by an Aga in the winter months. Outside, you’ll find a private hot tub, endless lawns, a tree swing hidden in the woodland and countryside rambles right on your doorstep.

A thread of nostalgia runs through the décor of this deceptively spacious apartment, housed in a listed building right in the heart of Taunton. The perfect spot for a couple or two friends looking to stay in a property with stacks of character, quality artwork and vintage collections add charm throughout. On the first floor, you’ll find a light-filled dual aspect kitchen and dining space with a handy breakfast bar for rustling up a bite to eat. Then climb the stairs to discover a twenty-seven-foot master bedroom with a lounge, separate dressing area, and a spacious bathroom. Whilst back downstairs, a suntrap patio is waiting to be enjoyed with your morning coffee. Perfectly placed to explore Taunton on foot, you’ll find bustling shops, cafes, and restaurants all close by. Visiting the nearby Stoke Wood Alpacas and Wellhayes Vineyard is an absolute must, we hear. Or jump in your car and you'll be on the M5 in five minutes flat. It's your corridor to Devon and Cornwall for an impromptu beach day when the sun shines.

Beyond a quiet courtyard and a weathered stone path, this modern countryside retreat feels like a secret worth keeping. Set in the gentle landscape between Taunton and Wellington, it invites you to live at a slower pace, think sunrise coffees in the garden, afternoon walks through the Blackdown Hills, and evenings with a book by the fire. The barn’s reverse layout brings light and air into the vaulted living space, while downstairs, two en-suite bedrooms provide a sense of privacy and calm. Whether you’re exploring cycle routes, teeing off nearby, or simply soaking in the views, it’s a peaceful, playful spot with everything you need for a restorative rural escape.

Nice to haves

Part of a former 16th century farmhouse, this cute home in the Somerset countryside is perfect for a peaceful escape. Secluded and intimate, it has a homely vibe that's made for couples on a romantic getaway. 

A fireplace and wood burning stove create a cosy ambiance, supported by the low-vaulted wooden beams and comfy sofa. Whether you're visiting in the glorious months of summer or the romantic winter season, the living room is a snug place to settle with a cup of hot chocolate or tea.

If you do visit in the summer, you'll love dining alfresco on the table in the courtyard. Share toast in the mornings, complemented by a cup of coffee, before moving on to a glass of cava in the evenings. Picturesque and quiet, the only sounds you'll hear are the birds singing in the skies above. 

If you fancied spreading your legs further than the courtyard, you'll reach the award-winning pubs in Broadway in just a few minutes' walk. Slightly further up the road, the quaint town Ilminster can be reached in five minutes by car – here, you'll find coffee shops, vintage stores and inviting cafes.

Apple of our Eye

High Chair

In the heart of a quaint little village in Somerset, this 16th century thatched cottage seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern comforts and restored interiors. Stone floors, whitewashed walls and thick oak doors house the open plan living area, complete with a high-spec kitchen with an electric Aga, a cosy sitting room where you can curl up on the armchair with a book off the shelf, and a wooden dining table with ornate chairs. The back door leads out into a picture-perfect courtyard, enclosed by stone walls. The air is scented by the lavender bush and the climbing roses, and on sunny days, gather at the outdoor table for a languid lunch. 

The cottage is a short walk from two lovely country pubs serving locally sourced food and Somerset cider. After a hearty lunch, head down one of the many public footpaths nearby, taking you through rolling green meadows and pastures. There is a village shop where you can buy provisions for dinner, or head two miles into the town of Ilminster, where you’ll find a variety of local shops and a supermarket. After a day of exploring, the sanctuary of the cosy bedrooms will call, with their serene green walls palette and wooden floors. You’ll easily fall into the swing of peaceful village life here, and leave feeling rested and rejuvenated.

Nestled at the foot of the Quantock Hills, this home is the ultimate rural retreat. With valley views and access to twelve acres of wildlife meadows, a stream and a pond right from your front door, if you’re looking to immerse yourself in nature, you’ve come to the right place. The owners live next door, but you won’t hear a peep from them unless there’s something you need. Locally, there’s plenty to keep you occupied and a selection of eateries nearby to tantalise your tastebuds.

The Barn Owl's Lodge

This charming cottage is perfect for a rural retreat. It’s on the lower slopes of the Blackdown Hills, close to the Somerset town of Wellington, and within easy reach of the Quantock Hills – it’s a great spot for hiking, with countryside walks from the front door. The picture-perfect thatched cottage is Grade II listed, so you can look forward to plenty of period features, including beamed ceilings. Outside, you’ll have a pretty garden to chill out in, with a hot tub and outdoor furniture. It's worth pointing out that the owner's accommodation is upstairs.

Set on the banks of the River Isle, this mill in deepest Somerset was mentioned in the Domesday Book. Close to a thousand years later, part of it still stands and is ideal for holidaymakers looking for a unique rural escape. The internal shell of the building has been kept much the same as it would have looked in the fifteenth century and you certainly get a sense of that with the wooden staircases, exposed stonework and a preserved waterwheel in the attic bedroom. Thankfully, plenty of modern amenities have been added, including a log-burning fire, a country kitchen and a vintage roll-top bathtub that's a relative whippersnapper in comparison to the house itself. In the surrounding grounds, guests can wander about the working farm to meet the animals that also call it home, followed by kayaking and swimming in the river or a bike ride along the adjoining National Cycle Route 33. This being Somerset, there's plenty of countryside walks nearby, as well as cider mills for when you've worked up a thirst.

Sitting in the sprawling grounds of a family-owned manor house, this cute cottage is the Somerset countryside idyll. Wisteria creeps up the beautiful hamstone facade and the Grade II listed features have been carefully retained. Stepping inside the cottage, it’s surprisingly modern with a long, Scandi-chic dining table for ten at the centre of the open living space (there's dining for sixteen in the conservatory). Comfy blue sofas sit in front of the old hearth, now home to a wood-burning stove, and the kitchen is blissfully modern yet retains a country-style charm. Tuck yourself away in the family snug, set around the big TV for a movie night. Or, head outside and make the most of the fabulous grounds. The cottage itself has a private space with a wood-fired hot tub overlooking the fields and a big outdoor dining table for sunny evening barbecues. The surrounding landscape provides miles of stunning countryside to explore either by foot or bike, and local produce and wholesome meals can be found in pubs and grocery stores in the nearby town.

Felicity Orchard is a private affair. The huge enclosed garden offers stunning green views over the surrounding fields, as well as several hangouts where you can put your feet up and relax — from the little dining spot to the luxurious jacuzzi (this is covered, so you can enjoy the water and the fresh air whatever the weather). You'll also be sharing your space with some beautiful flowering fruit trees, so you're more than encouraged to grab an apple in the morning when the season is right. The insides are all open-plan so that you always have the best natural light, and in the evenings, you can curl up with a good book by the wood-burning stove when the weather is chilly. Nearby, you’ll find the beginning of the Grand Union Canal, which makes for a great walk. As you can see, there's always plenty to do in the area, but you can also drive to Exeter if you're in the mood for some urban exploration.

The crenulated, columned Victorian face of this home is a far cry from a typical, rustic farmhouse. The interior is manor home in miniature with chesterfields around an original fireplace in the main living room, long darkwood dining tables by the bay window, and chandeliers lighting huge bedrooms. Each room retains an element of Victoriana. Attached to the farmhouse, the old cider shed is the kind of country-rustic you’d expect  – flagstone floors in the kitchen, timber beams exposed in eaves bedrooms and a wood-burning in the master suite. The real highlight is the wood-fired hot tub outside beneath the pergola. It looks out over the beautifully manicured gardens, bursting with lavender and colourful hydrangea. If you’re not dining in the grand room inside, head out to the Italian-style loggia where dining is set for the whole group beneath a wooden roof. You’re in the middle of the West Country’s farmland here, with walking trails on your doorstep. But the charming market town of Bridgewater is just a fifteen-minute drive away.  

Victoriana Farm

The fact that this timber-framed building is fuelled exclusively by renewable resources and built with ecology in mind makes staying here even sweeter. This bright and gorgeous cabin is equipped with everything you need to relax and tune into nature, starting with the covered outdoor hot tub and a bright open-plan living space that will protect you from the elements. During the colder months, the wood-burning stove provides the perfect atmosphere for a night in, and the fact that the cabin is encased in glass from two sides means that you'll always have a great view of the countryside. The nearby village of Holcombe Rogus has lots of beautiful nature to explore. However, it's a great jumping-off point for trips further afield. The city of Exeter is only a twenty-minute drive away if you want to spend an afternoon in a more urban environment, while day trips to the stunning beaches of the north and south coasts are well within reach, as are Exmoor and Dartmoor national parks.

If you're planning a family getaway in Devon, look no further than these two traditional 17th-century brick-built barns. Tucked away at the edge of an expansive farm estate, the two glorious cottages and barn conversion have been lovingly restored and furnished with a contemporary flourish. Gather your ensemble for a feast in the grand mid-night blue dining area. The two living and dining rooms are bright and light, each with a wood burner and plenty of logs to keep things cosy. Each bedroom has been individually styled with a blend of navy and sage green walls, and you'll find modern up-cycled furniture throughout to make you feel like you’re in a boutique hotel. If you fancy a tipple, there's a well-stocked honesty bar. The cottages are set within three acres of private land made up of rolling green hills, flower-filled meadows and tree-studded, landscaped gardens. It's utterly idyllic and you’ll struggle to tear yourself away – but if you can muster up the energy, the bustling market town of Honiton is around six miles away, and Branscombe Beach is a thirty-minute drive from home. 

Wildflower Meadows

Set on a quiet country lane, this 17th century, Grade II-listed farmhouse makes a wonderful holiday retreat in the heart of rural Somerset. Traditional features of the home have been partnered with luxurious interior furnishings, that maintain a high quality and provide excellent comfort for a snug stay in the countryside. We particularly love the stained glass window in the living room which serves as the gateway from the rustic lounge area, out to the stunning garden at the back. Original stone floorings, low ceilings and exposed wooden beams add oodles of character and personality to the home, while the wood-fired hot tub and living room stove bring the family together and provide a warming atmosphere. The house is surrounded by farmland but the nearby town provides local produce and delicious meals out. The landscape is sublime for country walks and adventures out to discover the local historical sights. If cycling is your thing, there's no better way to explore the myriad of local country lanes and villages than by bicycle. Stop off at Dennis China Works (a fifteen-minute ride away) for a pit stop in the tea rooms or why not visit one of the local cider producers' orchards and presses to see how it's made? Perry’s Cider in Dowlish Wake, for example, is only fifteen minutes away by bicycle or a six-minute drive away in the car.

Step back in time with a stay at this magnificent Grade II* listed Elizabethan manor house. And while there’s an abundance of charm and character, you’ll also find plenty of contemporary comforts to bring luxurious ease to your country escape. From the grand dining hall and billiard room to the elegant drawing room and cosy bedrooms, every detail has been considered to inspire optimum relaxation. It’s also the perfect venue for special events, weddings and intimate gatherings with catering and organised experiences available on request. Outside, explore ancient woodlands, historic buildings and an organic farm. It’s also just a short drive to the majestic Quantock Hills and less than two hours from London. 

Place of Beauty

This Grade II-listed cottage showcases Somerset's idyllic vernacular architecture. Its traditional touches, like the thatched roof and exposed beams, are complemented by the undeniably wholesome interior design – the wood-burner in the living room’s old hearth, dressers made from reclaimed wood, and timber beams on show in the country-chic kitchen. Right outside the kitchen, you’ll find outdoor dining for balmy summer evenings. The rustic theme doesn’t mean this place lacks grandeur. The master bathroom, in particular, is a lavish affair with its huge, walk-in shower and silver free-standing tub overlooking the garden. Or, opt for a soak in the wood-fired hot tub outside. The cottage is set on a private estate giving it a feel of tranquil privacy, and the surrounding countryside is ideal for long walks and scenic bike rides. The Jurrasic coast is a forty-minute drive south where you can find stunning coastal paths and beautiful beaches. 

Under The Thatch

Deep in the Somerset countryside, this cottage feels like a magical hideaway. Located in the tiny hamlet of Atherstone, this Grade II listed farmhouse stands out with its thatched roof, beautiful stonework, and trailing foliage on its exterior walls. Although ancient, it has been beautifully and elegantly refurbished in a relaxed, country style – and what could be more welcoming than a wood-burning stove? The large fireplace, exposed masonry, flagstone floors, and timber beams are some of our favourite features, but your host goes the extra mile to make it even more special. With fluffy bathrobes and a seriously high thread count on the bedding, you can’t help but notice luxury all around. You can even have a private chef come over and cook your dinner. If you don’t fancy a Sunday roast, light up the barbecue in the lush back garden on a sunny day. The quiet country lanes lead two miles to the nearby town of Ilminster where you can stock up on fresh, local produce and immerse yourself in rural culture. And as part of rural culture, you’ll have to take a trip to the pub to sample some fine English ales.

Wild Flower

An old hearth, flagstone floors and cast-iron roll-top baths; this is the farmhouse idyll in the heart of Somerset. The honey-brown stone farmhouse and cottage is surrounded by a sprawling woodland estate on all sides, and is two miles from Ilminster where you’ll find plenty of cosy pubs, restaurants, shops and cafés. There’s a restaurant on the estate itself if you don’t feel like getting in the car. Though the farmhouse kitchen is a delight to cook in and there’s a long dining table to serve the whole group. Or, opt for a barbecue outside in the summer months and keep an eye on the kids running free on the lawn and ducking between trees. At the end of the day, it’s a choice between cuddling up by the wood-burner in the snug lounge or heading out to the wood-fired hot tub for an evening under the stars. There are plenty of books and board games to keep the group happy too. If you’re lucky enough to bag the master bedroom there’s a claw-footed tub and your own wood-burner waiting for you at bedtime. 

Hearthside

Treacle Sponge is part of a Grade II-listed farm of the Dillington Estate in the tiny hamlet of Atherstone. This quiet and rural location makes for a great country escape for a small family or two couples looking to immerse themselves in the glorious Somerset landscape. Undeniably tasteful and boasting a rustic-chic look, this home may be quaint in aesthetic but it delivers some modern comforts that we love, including sleek bathrooms and sumptuous beds that will leave you well rested. Your hosts have also gone the extra mile in providing a welcome hamper, which includes some essentials, cakes, and local produce. You’ll need the energy for those long country walks or cycles, although knowing you'll come back to such a cosy home, you'll be motivated to walk that extra mile. For a memorable day trip out, head to the Jurassic Coast for fossil hunting and fish and chips on the beach.

Treacle Sponge

Set in the rolling Somerset countryside outside Ilminster (a three-minute drive), this home epitomises the phrase “sitting pretty”. A honey-hued facade is covered with roses, like a storybook cottage. Though grand bedrooms with sleigh beds and lots of space are more manor house than country cottage. Downstairs, the cosy sitting room is set around a wood-burning in the old hearth and there’s a second family snug with bean bags and a squashy sofa, ideal for film nights. The kitchen is a vision of modernity with its big breakfast island to accommodate the bustle of family mealtimes and dining takes place in the conservatory area overlooking the sprawling grounds. Stepping outside you’ll find a sweeping, manicured lawn and wooden climbing frame for the kids to run free, and patio dining for the whole group courtesy of a charcoal barbecue should the weather allow. Our favourite part? The wood-fired hot tub hidden between the trees and looking out over the fields and woodland.

This gorgeous converted barn allows you to connect with nature. Perfect for hosting no matter the weather, enjoy a garden party on the lawn or get festive indoors with a roaring fire. The rustic kitchen and ample dining space are perfect for those who love to cook with love for their family. The Wendy house, tire swing, and games room provide endless entertainment for children who love to play. 

Wooden beams adorn the ceilings, adding to the farm life vibes. Look out of the window to spot any free–roaming ducks from the surrounding one–hundred acres of land, who have come to say hello. You may also hear the clucks of the neighbouring chickens.

Guests can enjoy the sprawling countryside with nature walks and wildlife photography. Feeling adventurous? Pop down to The Bear Trail, an obstacle course packed full of challenges that will leave you craving a sit down at the end of the day. Luckily for you, this home provides guests with plenty of seating areas – inside and out.

Dating back to the Elizabethan era, this grand manor in the Somerset countryside is said to have inspired one of Jane Austen’s fictional stately homes. Across five acres of gardens and woodland, you’ll find vast lawns, furnished patios, an old tennis court and riverside walks with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. It’s palatial inside with four reception rooms – grand wood-panelled lounges, lavish sitting rooms and a dedicated office for those working remotely. The kitchen is fit for banquet-sized meals, and there’s room for 16 in the formal dining room. Bedrooms feel fit for nobility with sleigh beds and four-posters, but quite a few guests will be sharing in threes and fours at full capacity.   

Rowan & Thorn

This thatched barn conversion offers the ideal country escape for a couple or two friends. Set within the grounds of a 15th century Grade II listed Somerset longhouse, outside there’s a private patio area to sip a morning coffee. There’s also the owner's large country garden to enjoy – the pond area is perfect for picnics. Inside, there’s plenty of charm with the wooden beams and a super comfy bed. Location-wise, there’s lots to see and do nearby. Ilminster is just a short walk away and offers a variety of shops, pubs, and cafes, while the stunning Jurassic coast and the Quantock Hills are within easy reach. 

The Thatched Barn

Part Victorian farmhouse, part modern pad, this rural home is filled with light and character. The recently-renovated manor sits on a verdant plot in the bucolic Somerset countryside, boasting far-reaching views and access to plenty of scenic routes. If you're the kind of walker who enjoys a post-stroll pint, you'll be pleased to hear the village pub is just a fifteen-minute walk away.

This homely property will welcome you with open arms, inviting you to sink into the plush Chesterfield sofas or unwind with a soak in the free-standing bathtub within minutes of arriving. When you're settled, gather the family for a meal on the fairy-lit terrace and take in the natural vista ahead. If it's too cool for alfresco dining, the contemporary kitchen-diner is the next best thing, letting the outside in through expansive sliding glass doors.

There's no shortage of worthwhile sights in your immediate vicinity, from the manicured gardens at The Newt to the Swiss art gallery in the town centre. Thirty minutes down the road, the historic hamlet of Wells is home to an impressive cathedral and a selection of quintessentially English eateries.
