Closer to home, an abundance of walks through nearby villages can be discovered from the doorstep, while cyclists will enjoy being on National Route 26 of the National Cycle Network.

Sympathetically updated to offer 21st century comforts, the cottage still retains plenty of original charm, from flagstone flooring to exposed beams and leaded windows.

Once prepared, enjoy meals beside the charming exposed stone wall in the spacious lounge/diner.

Charming old cottage, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The owners Mary and Bill were very welcoming and helpful. The farm shop just up the road is very well stocked with everything you could want. The Helyar Arms pub in East Coker has wonderful food and is very bad for the waistline!! There are great walks nearby - a lot of them. The countrysRead moreide is beautiful. Wehad a wonderful week and non stop sunshine into the bargain - we were so lucky. Hide

The location and charm of this delightful cottage lends itself to the perfect holiday on a working farm. Hosts, Bill and Mary were most welcoming and available, enabling us to make the most of our stay. The cottage's situation is ideal for exploring inland Somerset, with its many National Trust houses and gardens, and , also, the Jurassic coast. WeRead more particularly enjoyed visiting nearby East Coker with its scenic cottages and 12th century church, the resting place of poet TS Elliott. Hide

A fantastic cottage which is secluded and peaceful but only 8 mins from major shops. The owners were very friendly, the farm animals equally so. Ronan the horse came to say hello each morning and the sheepdogs too. Lovely star-watching at night as no light pollution. Really recommend the local pub (booking essential), food was amazing and good valuRead moree. For those of a military bent, The Keep museum in Dorchester is brilliant. I have never been to a better place and enjoyed it so much. Hide

We loved staying in Hyde cottage, with pretty views all around, and very quiet. And with nice places around to visit, like East Coker and the Sutton Bingham reservoir, NT properties near Yeovil, etc. We hope to come back in the future, and would like to thank the hospitable owners for all their advice and help !
