Wood-fired hot tub, four en-suite bedrooms and 3,000 acres of parkland on your doorstep — this modern retreat sits within a beautiful estate, offering space, privacy and easy access to the Somerset countryside. Once an estate cottage, it has been thoughtfully reworked with open-plan living upstairs, where bi-fold doors connect the kitchen and dining area to a south-facing garden. A separate sitting room with exposed beams and a fireplace provides a cosy contrast. Bedrooms are generous and flexible, each with its own well-appointed bathroom. Outside, there’s a terrace for dining, a fire pit for evenings, and orchard views from the hot tub. Estate walks, a farm shop and welcoming pubs are all within easy reach.

Home truths
A travel cot and highchair can be provided on request. Guests will need to provide their own cot linen.
A maximum of 2 well-behaved dogs are allowed on a request basis for an additional charge of £50 per dog, per stay.
The property sits within Dillington Estate, so while it feels private, it is part of a wider working estate with farmland, tenant farmers and livestock nearby.
The bedrooms can be set up with either twin beds or super-king size doubles, ideal for couples or friends holidaying together.

About Somerset
Somerset is all about Glastonbury, right? Well, think again! There's a certain town-meets-country charm here that is enticing increasing numbers of stressed city dwellers seeking solace. And who can blame them? Rat race relocators are abandoning their crowded commutes, searching for a bucolic idyll. But one where you can still get a decent flat white – that's an absolute must. Follow the creative crumb trail out of East London, and...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
