Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A thatched roof, stone floors, and oak doors signal exactly the kind of rural escape this village cottage delivers. The Aga-warmed living space is easy to settle into, and the enclosed courtyard is the place for alfresco meals or a quiet coffee with the countryside on all sides. Two pubs are within walking distance, so evenings don't require a car. A welcome hamper awaits on arrival, and the Jurassic Coast is around forty minutes' drive south when you're ready to venture further.

Home truths
The second bedroom can be arranged as a super-king-sized double or as two single beds – let your host know your preference before you arrive.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair on request – worth arranging ahead of your stay.
You're in a rural village, so you'll want a car for most errands – the nearest town, Ilminster, is 2 miles away, and the village shop covers basics.
There's free parking for up to two cars here.

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.
