A converted stable building near Frome and Bruton, this house has the kind of generous layout that makes group stays easy – room to spread out, gather, or disappear for a quiet moment. The south-west-facing walled garden is a real draw for sunny afternoons, with a patio for alfresco dining and a barbecue for evening cooking. Indoors, a vaulted living room with a wood burner gives the space warmth when the Somerset weather turns. A weights gym in the garage, a welcome hamper on arrival, and cots for little ones mean most guests arrive and immediately feel at home.

Home truths

  • The main bedroom has a king bed and a sofa bed. At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in this room, making it a better fit for children or friends who don't mind sharing.

  • The other two bedrooms can be made up as either a super-king bed or two singles, depending on your needs. Let your host know your preference before booking.

  • If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair.

  • Your host's friendly dog may wander over to say hello. If anyone in your group is uncomfortable around dogs, let your host know in advance so he can be kept away.

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.
