We love this fairytale Grade II-listed pink cottage, draped in wisteria and capped by thatch – it doesn't get more idyllic than this. Enjoy the complimentary bread, biscuits, cake, and lovely local produce and have an afternoon tea on your arrival. The cottage benefits from having an open-plan kitchen-diner that's ideal for aspiring Robuchons to entertain their loved ones with lavish meals. The cosy living room with a wood-burning stove is perfect for part of the group to retire to after dinner, while the other half can head outside for a stargazing session from the hot tub. The delightful garden makes a great setting for a picnic on warmer days (catering is available) or just walk to the pub (thirty minutes) for a hearty Sunday roast. Of course, there are some wonderful walks and cycle rides to discover right from your doorstep and bikes can be rented and delivered to the cottage in advance. For a range of boutiques, restaurants and cafes – head to Ilminster, a three-minute drive or explore Dillington Park, a seven-minute walk away. If you fancy exploring further afield – Charmouth Beach is just over a thirty-minute drive – that's if you can tear yourself away from this rural paradise.

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...
