Quiet secluded location

What a charming place to stay, and just a 10-minute walk from North Cadbury Court. Sally was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to help, she picked us up from the station, showed us around, and her son even gave us a lift back when we left. The accommodation itself is small but very comfortable, and a nice selection of things are provided for breakfast. No complaints whatsoever. Thank you Sally!

This was a fantastic place to stay after a wedding in North Cadbury Court. We'd like to say thank you very much to Sally for being the most courteous and hospitable host.

Very cosy and cute property with extremely attentive and helpful hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

The host canceled this reservation 78 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Die ehemalige Scheune ist sehr geräumig und liebevoll eingerichtet und die Küche bestens ausgestattet. Die ideale Unterkunft für alle, die es ruhig mögen. Ruth und Mike sind sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Da wir aus der Großstadt kommen, haben uns die vielen Tiere - Schafe, Schweine, zwei sehr nette Hunde und das Pferd - begeistert. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt: das Dorfpub, das man zu Fuß erreichen und in dem man gut essen kann. Empfehlenswert!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean, spacious, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed to relax and live there a few days. Just wish we had time to stay longer. Ruth and Mike were very gracious and made us feel quite welcome.

Wonderful place to stay on your stay in Somerset. Mike was extremely helpful upon arrival and they clearly have an excellent knowledge of the area and were able to answer any questions about our stay.

V friendly hosts who were v happy to show our kids their horses and sheep. Cosy place and v warm. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

Lovely base from which to explore the activity- and attraction-packed local area. The Barn was clean, comfortable, warm, and we all looked forward to coming back to our holiday home after a busy day's sightseeing. Good location and lovely surroundings -- it's set in the midst of a smallholding, complete with sheep, chickens, pigs and a horse -- and a friendly local pub all make it great for family holidays. Downsides? With a toddler, somewhere with a bath may have been a more sensible choice for us, but that certainly didn't mar our enjoyment. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage in an a peaceful location. Great location for exploring the surrounding areas. Ruth was very accommodating with regards to arrival and departure times. She also went to the trouble of preparing a welcome basket of goodies (cheese, biscuits, cider, Easter eggs, milk and bread), a lovely touch. One thing worth mentioning if you require constant wifi, we struggled to get a connection but wasn't an issue for us.

Great bolt hole with all you need for a fabulous long weekend. The hosts were very friendly and we would definitely visit again.

Ruth was a great host who went out of her way to help in the run up to our stay. She managed to find a travel cot for us and was very flexible about check-in and check-out times. The welcome hamper of local delicacies and home-made chutney she left for our arrival was a really lovely touch. The Barn is a good size, perfect for a family of 4 to stay comfortably and I think the price is right at £75 per night. The description on the website is accurate but worth mentioning that we struggled for a wifi signal for all of the 5 days we stayed there. If WIFI is a must then this property is not for you. All in all we had a very enjoyable stay in a very beautiful part of the world.

A wonderful unique little place for a quiet break. Casita had everything we needed for a simple quiet stay. Beautiful scenery, incredibly quiet and relaxed. John was there to welcome us and showed us all we needed to know. We were left to ourselves which was perfect but reassured they were close by if we needed anything. The local area was beautiful for walking and some great pubs for nice food. We'd come back again.

Loved staying at John and Sarah's! The cottage is lovely, and full of ideas of what to do in the area! John and Sarah made us feel very welcome! Highly recommend staying here

logement très reposant conforme à nos attentes. tout le confort était présent pour profiter pleinement de notre sejour. à recommander sans hésiter

We were made to feel so welcome by John. We loved our experience at the cottage - the countryside and location was stunning. We were only there for a weekend but easily could have stayed for a week. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. All in all a fabulous tine!

We had such a lovely stay at John and Sarah's cottage. John and Sarah are warm, kind, and caring hosts who checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. It was a pleasure to meet them! The lovely Casita was decorated tastefully and had everything we needed including lots of heaters so it was warm and cosy in the frosty evenings. We would love to return one day!

This is a wonderful secluded cottage set in beautiful countryside - a perfect getaway for our family of 4 + dog. John and Sarah made us feel very welcome and managed to organise a weekend of blisteringly hot weather for us! Great for walks and country pubs, or just relaxing with a book. Thoroughly recommended.

John's has to be one of the best cottages I've stayed at. We absolutely loved how cozy it was! Everything, from the classic furniture, to the vase of fresh wildflowers by the window sill was brimming with rustic charm. Lying in the attic and gazing at the starry night while drifting off to sleep would make anyone feel like a kid again. John and his wife were such warm and thoughtful hosts. Aside from preparing maps and directories for us, they even left a bottle of wine in the fridge! 11/10 would definitely go again.

Truly wonderful stay at John and Sarah's beautiful cottage - one of the most stunning locations I have ever visited in England. Beautiful, characterful accommodation with a truly remarkable view over the surrounding countryside. Great visitor information book with plenty of info about local attractions and pubs. Will visit again very soon hopefully!

Susan is a great host, no problem checking in even when I was running late. The double room has a very comfortable bed and large table which I used for some office work. The bathroom has an electric shower giving plenty of hot water. Susan provided me with towels, cupboard space in the kitchen and space in the fridge. I was on a business course nearby and this made the perfect base, as a traveller there is a local pub & shop in the village with lots of local interest with the history of Cadbury Hill and the legends of King Arthur. Plenty of walks and a very cute village. On street parking was never a problem, access is via a steep path, could be a problem with anyone with limited mobility. Susan was a great host, lots of her artwork adorn the house and you can even see her studio where the future works are taking shape.! Thank you Susan, see you again another day soon.

We had a wonderful 4day stay at Sarah's immaculate, comfortable and tranquil country home with easy access to Sherbourne and Yeovil. Sarah was a wonderful host making us feel very welcome and always ready to advise us & answer any questions. Highly recommended. Thanks Sarah. Malcolm & Janet

Alex and I had a great stay at the old post office. Thank you Sarah for being a lovely host, you made us feel very welcome with great suggestions for places to visit (we enjoyed Stourhead!) Didn't manage to have the eggs for breakfast so Sarah kindly boxed these up for us to take- can't wait to try them. Thanks again for a lovely stay.

Wonderful stay and welcoming host. Thanks very much!

Top marks on every count. Sarah is a wonderfully warm, efficient & knowledgeable host. The accommodation is immaculate and tastefully decorated, and the kitchen is well stocked with breakfast provisions. The village is very attractive and the surrounding countryside equally so. Sherborne is definitely worth spending time in. As a bonus, if you're into cider the area will certainly be for you!

It was such a pleasant experience staying at The Old Post Office in Somerset. We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and cozy the place was. The setting in the country was amazing and it was exactly what we needed away from London for our winter break. Sarah was a great host and made us feel very welcome. We are looking forward to coming back!

We had a lovely long weekend in the old post office, Sarah was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations within the area. The interior was lovely the pictures don't do it justice. We would highly recommend this place for a relaxing weekend away. The breakfast hamper was a lovely touch. Thank you.

Sarah was a really great host. The cottage and area were lovely. Would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay at Sarah's place. It was conveniently located close to North Cadbury Court. The room was clean, comfortable and decorated beautifully. Sarah was very helpful and welcoming.

A beautiful house well outside of busy city life. The host was amazing and we couldn't've asked for a better stay, we'll be coming back here again soon! :)

We had a brilliantly wonderful time here and can't wait to return one day. The cottage was beautifully decorated throughout with everything we needed and Jane provided us with some really wonderful treats, she really had thought of everything to make our stay the perfect mini break. We loved the easter themed decorations, and we were touched to hear Jane had got a carpenter in to fit stair gates in for our one year old daughter ahead of our stay. The village pub does the best lasagne and chips ever. We did a great walk to nearby Queens Arms pub too which can highly recommend. Thank you Jane for a really special stay.

I would highly recommend Nursery Cottage, it's picturesque setting and views are lovely. The house was spotless, clean and beautifully presented. When we arrived it was all tastefully decorated for Easter including mini Easter eggs on the kitchen table. Along with homemade cake and hot chocolate, a nice touch i thought. Breakfast items were also in the fridge. They had also left a drinks tray, with ice already in the freezer. Although we were only there for one night there are games and books available. We didn't use the wood burner but they had already placed logs in the burner ready for us. I was sad we were only there for 1 night, but will definitely be booking again.

Nursery Cottage is an absolute gem of a find. Jane could not have been more kind and helpful and generous with lovely goodies left for us to eat and drink too. The cottage has been decorated to the highest spec and the towels and bed linen were utterly luxurious. The only downside was I didn't want to leave, it's a peaceful haven set in glorious countryside. I can't recommend it highly enough and look forward to booking again soon. Thank you Jane, we had a lovely stay :)

A beautiful house in a beautiful setting. We were made to feel very welcome and loved our stay. Especially good to enjoy being in the gorgeous garden.

Great Cottage.

Amazing hosts, very friendly and there to help. Will definitely go back if the opportunity ever arose.

Absolutely recommended house ...

We had a great few days in this ideally located cottage. The cottage has everything you need and has plenty of space. The hosts were great and met us on arrival, and walked us through the cottage. The showers were great, wifi was on, and there was a cupboard full of board games. The dogs were accommodated and hopefully didn't cause too much chaos. Thanks for a great few days.

Great place with loads of room. Very scenic garden overlooking a winding stream. Great shower.

Fabulous house, lovely village!

A lovely cosy house, within a cute village. Lovely garden and with everything you need, perfect for a getaway which is in easy access of main routes. Really attentive hosts nearby! Thank you Alison and Tim

This beautiful home is an absolute gem! Henrietta did everything to make us feel at home and welcome, from lovely Christmas decorations to a selection of treats, including some wonderful prosecco. The cottage is cosy and has a wonderful open fire in the living room. We would all love to visit again. The setting was just perfect for our early Christmas weekend and we have a lovely time exploring the area and Cadbury castle which is a very short walk away. Henrietta is the perfect hostess. It was simply magical and a very special time for me and my family.

Henriëtta's cottage is such A beautifull place. A cosy house, so Well decorated that we felt at home immediately. We drank the prosecco that was waiting for us in the lovely garden and also enjoyed the rich breakfast she provided us with. We really want to thank Henrietta also for her kindness in letting us stay till 2 pm because one of us was quite ill with a fever. It was a pity that we couldn't stay longer!

We had a great stay at Henrietta's cottage. It is in a very lovely location and combines the interesting feel of a very ancient building with comfortable and warm furnishings and decor. I would highly recommend it.

A wonderful cottage, with a very welcoming and warm host. The cottage was perfect for a wedding at North Cadbury Court, and Henrietta was a great host - quick to reply to emails, and welcoming when we got there. Lovely comfy beds!

Perfect in every way. Located in a beautiful village steeped in history. Fantastic place to stay.

Fate is a wonderful thing, we had a reservation cancelled and we struct gold with our rebook. What you see is what you get. The accommodation is the perfect blend of yesteryear and the future is just down the road ftom the Camelot Pub. We had a great meal there last night. Henrietta was born to host! She is a people's person and has a common sense approach to the holiday let. She is abably supported by Steve who is also a wealth of knowledge of the local area. So if you are on the London/Cornwall route don't hesitate to join Henrietta and Steve for a night or two it will be a highlight of your trip!

Henrietta's Castle Farmhouse cottage was really fabulous. As a host, Henrietta couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming and she was always quick to reply to any query. Directions were perfect and on arrival Henrietta provided us with the most generous welcome pack of organic goodies, which was such a treat. The beautiful period cottage is well located at the foot of spectacular Cadbury Castle with lovely walks directly from the cottage and a selection of characterful pubs in which to while away the hours in this beautiful part of the countryside. The cottage is very well equipped for 4 people with a spacious sitting room with log fire, lovely farmhouse kitchen with original flag stone flooring and beautifully decorated, spacious double bedrooms. My bed was the most comfortable four poster with luxurious linen and even the dogs were provided with beds and a welcome pack! We had such a lovely time and look forward enormously to a return sometime soon. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this special cottage at any time of year. Thank you Henrietta.

We had a lovely family stay in Henrietta's farmhouse! It is very well-appointed, clean, and in a location that provides for much needed peace away from the city with the kids. If you're an Arthurian enthusiast, you could not ask for a better place to stay! And the Camelot Pub just a few steps down the road has great food to boot! Stay here! You won't regret it ;) Thank you from all of us, Henrietta!

We had a great stay at the Bird's Nest. Helen and Dave were great hosts. The accommodation was very comfortable and handicap-friendly, which was important for us. Location is great -- quiet, unspoiled countryside, lots of lovely villages nearby and wonderful walks. Although there was no WiFi or a washing machine in the house we were able to use both in our host's house which was a very short walk away.

Nice place in the middle of a valley in the countryside. About a 15 - 20 min walk from Castle Cary. Dave checked in on us on the 2nd day to say hi and check we had all was needed. Which we did. Very nice and interesting chap. It's a very good and reasonably priced place. And a good base for exploring Somerset. Thanks Dave and Helen for accommodating us.

We stayed at Birds Nest for three nights and absolutely loved it. The accommodation was quaint and well laid out. The house had everything that we needed in it. The hosts were very thoughtful, generous and friendly, even down to making sure that we had tea and coffee available and even a small jug of fresh milk in the fridge. Nothing was too much trouble. The house was ideally located for beautiful countryside walks, whilst still within easy reach of larger towns, including Street, where the Clarks Outlet Shopping Village is. It was very peaceful and just what we needed.

Charming barn conversion in a very quiet spot in unspoilt countryside, easy access to footpaths and walks nearby. Made to feel very welcome by hosts, the neighbouring farm and local people walking or horse riding. Close walk to a Nature Reserve and Conservation centre. We really enjoyed our trip.

We enjoyed our stay at Birds Nest very much. After our long journey we were looking forward for a nice cup of English tea. Upon arrival, we were very happy to find a jug of fresh milk in the fridge to compliment our tea :) The cottage is situated in a beautiful and tranquil part of Somerset. We had some nice walks in the surrounding area. Location is also perfect for visiting lots of interesting places in the area. Helen and Dave were very friendly and we even got to pick some apples from the orchard of which we made a lovely apple pie!

Fantastic! What we needed. Clean, tidy, welcoming and quiet. A great place to get away and relax. Would highly recommend it to all. Had everything we needed.

A very cosy, clean and spacious place in a quiet surrounding. Helen and Dave are vey welcoming people. We can highly recommend Birds Nest..

We had a very comfortable stay in the cottage itself with lovely walks in the immediate vicinity without having to get into the car. Also close to Castle Cary in one direction and an excellent pub ( The Orchard Inn ) in the other! Helen and Dave very welcoming and quietly helpful.

We found our 'home from home' and it was a lovely stay. Breakfast on the balcony in the rising sun, a day out, and return with tea on the garden swing in the setting sun. Perfect. Clean, modern, comfortable. Wonderful welcome basket. As we arrived 7pm, we could relax in front of the TV after meal, wine, cup tea and chill, without shopping. Upstairs and downstairs loos great. Lovely sunny sitting/dining room. Kitchen with all we needed. Fridge stocked milk, butter. Bedroom spacious, airy. Bed comfortable. Parking good. Towels and linen really nice. Great to meet Jeanne and Jez. Many NT properties within visit distance, and Dorset coast an hour away. A lovely self-contained annexe home stay.

Had a wonderful stay at Dovecote House. Jeanne was a lovely host. It was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. The welcome hamper was a delightful bonus.

A very warm welcome from our hosts , we were provided by a very extensive welcome basket of goodies to enjoy. The cottage is very spacious and has everything you would need for a short or long stay including a balcony area off the upstairs bedroom, on which we enjoyed breakfast overlooking surrounding countryside . A private outside garden with a swing seat is a bonus after a day out touring the lovely area .we would have no hesitation in recommending dovecote cottage .

This is a lovely cottage in a very nice location. There are some excellent places to eat nearby, and many attractions within a reasonable drive. The kitchen has a dishwasher and washing machine, both of which were much appreciated, and there is Sky TV and internet. The bedroom in the eaves is a great room. What would have improved our stay was to have had more equipment in the kitchen - we found that we were looking for things like a tin opener, oven glove, chopping boards and cheese grater when preparing meals. The welcome basket is very generous, and set us up for the first evening and breakfast. A lovely touch. Dovecote House is definitely recommended for a relaxing stay in a lovely part of the world,

Jeanne was a lovely host, providing us with a nice welcome pack with the essentials which was the perfect addition and a booklet with local things for us to do. Thank you, would definitely reccomend and come back again.

Jeanne was great and friendly. The seperate apartment was quirky, spacious and well maintained. A lovely place to stay.

Fantastic welcome pack which included essentials and many local products which were delicious. Personally showed us round the property. Made it clear that we were welcome to use the garden and orchard. Very helpful with local knowledge.

What an absolutely lovely place to stay. The description is spot on and Jeanne is the perfect host, the welcome basket of eggs, fresh bread, cheese and wine was heavenly after our journey up from London. The bed was so comfortable, we slept better there than our own bed! The shower is powerful and huge! Eating breakfast on the balcony was a highlight, looking out over the fields and breathing in the beautiful fresh air. Jeanne was really quick getting back to my many emails asking about hire car companies, towels and hairdryers! A wonderful weekend away, I can not fault it – many thanks!

This was a lovely home away from home. Pek made us feel very welcome ,with the bouquet of tulips on the table as well as a nicely laid tray with tea and cake. We enjoyed both during our stay. We were looking for a two bedroom two bath accommodation within driving distance of both B ath and the coast of England, this lovely farm house was everything that it said it was in the listing.The narrow roman roads of the area were not unexpected ,we were just thankful that we never met another car on our way in or out. We enjoyed the sounds of the cows in the evening and the rooster in the morning. As you can see we found nothing wrong with our stay,and enjoyed it immensely .

Pek had left us with a wonderful cake and some tea, coffee and sugar. On arrival we were stunned by the Old Stables, it was very like a French Gite. Spotlessly clean and full of character. The location is wonderfully rural and very quiet, just what we needed. We had a wonderful weekend and will be going back again sometime soon.

Pek was a lovely host. Welcomed us with a homemade cake and milk was left in the fridge for us to have tea and cake after a long journey. She gave us a tour around the house and showed us how things are working. We enjoyed the stay at the old stables. This is a beautiful and spacious house. Though we were 9 of us it never felt crowded. She has even provided extra beds for kids. And even thought of keeping a cupboard full of board games and toys for keeping the children occupied.

Thanks Pek to be so thoughtful. We set off later than we had scheduled, and she arranged everything so nicely before we arrived. Castle Cary is a quiet and lovely place, and the stable is comfy and decorated in historic style. You will enjoy the environment if you like the country experience.

We loved our visit to the old stables - beautiful place with real character. Loved the cake too

Pek made us feel very welcome with a delicious home made cake awaiting us. She was very quick to respond to any communication and available nearby should we have needed anything. The house was delightful and perfect accommodation for family members getting together for a wedding close by. Other members of our family rented an adjacent property of Pek's , which was ideal. The property was accurately described and is in a beautiful setting and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a rural retreat . Thank you Pek

If it's a quiet rural country break you are looking for then this is the perfect place for you. We had a wonderful time. Pek was very officiant host and the stables were comfortable and well equipped. The perfect spot for exploring Somerset.

We are a family of 6 (teenager and adults) from Singapore and we enjoyed our stay tremendously at the Old Stables. Pek is a very gracious and considerate host during our stay. You will not regret staying at her lovely historical Barnhouse if you want a getaway from the city buzz. The Barnhouse is situated in a good location as base for our visits to Bath, the Stonehenge, Well's Cathedral area, Glastonbury/Tor and Cheddar Gorge. The house is well equipped and and staying there is a wonderful and unique experience itself. And I would recommend a visit to the Ancient Barn next door to see some paintings as well as listen to Pek as she relates her interesting story of the old mural and history of the barns. I highly recommend booking this house.

Absolutely perfect. It's the only way to describe our stay in this beautiful suite in Somerset. Jenny is the perfect host, made us feel very welcome and looked after us splendidly whilst giving us privacy during our visit. The accommodation is very comfortable and spacious. Imagine a suite in a 5 star hotel, add secluded gardens and rolling countryside with a Labrador by the fire. We will definitely be coming back.

The cottage is lovely, very well presented, spacious and clean. Jenny was very welcoming and even had the log burner lit for us when we arrive :) The delicious breakfast served in the lounge area in the morning was an excellent extra.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The 2 bedrooms, bathroom and lounge are spotlessly clean even though the accommodation is dog friendly. Tastefully decorated and very comfortable at the same time. Snuggling up in the big sofas in from of the fire was a real treat. Perfect for a short break with my 2 kids and dog. Kids and dog loved playing in the enclosed garden with Bertie the lovely lab. There is a kids playground in the village which is functional but a bit tired. Jennifer was very friendly and helped with any enquiries. We also had a lovely cooked breakfast. If you want to be in the area, this place can't be faulted.

The accommodation is exactly as you see in the photos, which is great so there were no surprises. The underfloor heating and roaring fireplace were like heaven in the winter and we had a very comfortable stay. The cooked breakfast was delightful, served by our gracious host, Jenny. A perfect place to stay come rain or shine.

Absolutely charming accommodation and excellent hosts. I cannot recommend the Church Byres highly enough.

I have only good things to say about Jenny and her cottage. All was perfect. Clean, comfortable and classy!! Thanks j

Very good value, immaculate, warm and comfortable. Friendly host who made us a delicious breakfast.
