A Grade II listed thatched cottage in the Somerset countryside, this home pairs original flagstone floors and exposed beams with an inglenook fireplace that makes a rainy afternoon feel like a reward. Wind up the spiral staircase to the first-floor bedroom, where a king-sized bed and deep mattress make it easy to sleep well. The sheltered courtyard is ideal for morning coffee or a long lunch in summer, and two pubs are just a few minutes' walk away when you feel like venturing out. Lyme Regis and the Jurassic coastline are roughly forty minutes south.

Home truths

  • The bedroom is on the first floor, reached by a spiral staircase – you'll be navigating this every time you head to bed or back downstairs, so bear it in mind if you have any mobility concerns.

  • Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.

  • There is one private parking space here – if you're arriving in a larger vehicle it's worth bearing in mind the space is sized for a single car.

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.
