Holiday Rental Description

Set in the rolling Somerset countryside outside Ilminster (a three-minute drive), this home epitomises the phrase “sitting pretty”. A honey-hued facade is covered with roses, like a storybook cottage. Though grand bedrooms with sleigh beds and lots of space are more manor house than country cottage. Downstairs, the cosy sitting room is set around a wood-burning in the old hearth and there’s a second family snug with bean bags and a squashy sofa, ideal for film nights. The kitchen is a vision of modernity with its big breakfast island to accommodate the bustle of family mealtimes and dining takes place in the conservatory area overlooking the sprawling grounds. Stepping outside you’ll find a sweeping, manicured lawn and wooden climbing frame for the kids to run free, and patio dining for the whole group courtesy of a charcoal barbecue should the weather allow. Our favourite part? The wood-fired hot tub hidden between the trees and looking out over the fields and woodland.
