Self catering accommodation in Monkton Combe sleeps 2.
Features include: • Pool • Short Breaks • Pub nearby • Easy Walking • Sleeps 2
Accommodation overview: Set within the attractive village of Monkton Combe just 2 miles south of the beautiful city of Bath, these two delightful single-storey cottages have been sympathetically renovated and furnished to a very high standard, retaining a great deal of character with exposed beams and stonework. Constructed from honey-coloured Cotswold stone, they form part of a set of three cottages formed from the original dairy and are set round a pretty central courtyard within the grounds of the owner’s Grade II Listed barn conversion. Visitors may enjoy shared use (at guests’ own risk) of the owners’ open-air heated swimming pool from May to Sept inclusive. The area offers a wealth of attractions. Bath, famous for its hot springs and associated Roman Baths, is Britain’s best preserved Georgian city, with miles of elegant terraces as well as excellent shops. Several National Trust properties are within easy reach, notably Stourhead and Dyrham Park, as well as Longleat, Cheddar, Glastonbury and the cathedral city of Wells. Walking, riding, golf and the Kennet and Avon Canal can all be enjoyed locally. Coast 1 hour’s drive. Village pub 2 minutes’ walk. Shop 1 mile.

Self catering accommodation in Templecombe sleeps 6.
Features include: • Pool • Short Breaks • Pub nearby • Games Room • Sleeps 6
Accommodation overview: Straddling the borders of Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset, this charming row of single-storey cottages is tucked away along a peaceful country lane, close to the village of Templecombe. Adjacent to the owners’ home, and on an alpaca breeding farm, they offer well-equipped and carefully furnished accommodation for a variety of groups, in a central location ideal for exploring. Outdoor seating areas overlooking a central courtyard provide pleasant places of retreat, and the use of an indoor heated swimming pool completes the picture.
Set amid excellent walking country, the holiday cottages afford ample opportunities for plenty of fresh air, and there are many delights to explore on foot. For those preferring to sightsee further afield, a main line station to Waterloo and Exeter is available from the village and quiet country roads make for scenic drives. The popular attractions of Longleat (with its excellent safari park, animal shows and historic house), Cheddar Gorge and Caves and the splendid NT properties of Stourhead Gardens, Kingston Lacey and Montacute House are all within an easy drive, as is Yeovilton Fleet Air Arm Museum and the fascinating array of classic cars at the Haynes Motor Museum.
Also of great historical interest is the abbey town of Sherborne, the famous Gold Hill at Shaftesbury and the medieval towns of Salisbury and Wells – all offer their own blend of quaint shops and museums to explore, individual shops to browse and tearooms for a welcome refreshment break. For an altogether different scene, the south coast beaches and seaside towns can be reached in around an hour’s drive. Active souls can try their hand at a spot of fishing or a round or two of golf locally, while those preferring spectator sports can visit the National Hunt race course in nearby Wincanton. Shop and pub 1 mile.

Self catering accommodation in Frome sleeps 4.
Features include: • Pool • Short Breaks • Games Room • Sleeps 4
Accommodation overview: Spacious well-equipped cottages...with an idyllic rural setting amidst a chorus of wildlife Conveniently located for Longleat, Bath and the Mendip Hills and Gorges, Moorleaze nestles on the border of Somerset with Dorset and Wiltshire. Enjoying a tranquil setting with stunning views all around, it provides the perfect retreat at any time of year. Built from local stone and boasting every modern convenience, the cottages offer spacious and superbly fitted accommodation, presented to 5 Star standards. The 76-acre grounds include farmland, woodland, orchard and two lakes, whilst the glorious views encompass fields and gently wooded hills. A haven for wildlife, deer and hares abound, often coming within yards of the cottages. Buzzards, kestrels, tawny and barn owls, pheasants, swallows and many other species nest here. The lower lake is stocked with carp, tame enough to feed from guests’ hands - so no fishing! The idyllic village of Witham Friary, complete with an unspoiled pub, is a few minutes’ stroll and found fame as the setting for the TV series Building the Dream.
Benefiting from its countryside setting, Moorleaze also affords easy access all year round and is within a short driving distance of many famous locations. Longleat is close by, as are Wookey Hole and the Yeovilton Aircraft and Haynes Motor Museums. Bath, designated a World Heritage Site, boasts many delights including the Roman Baths. Nearby Frome has even more listed buildings than Bath and hosts a renowned arts and music festival in early July. Salisbury, Wells, Glastonbury, Stonehenge and Avebury are also popular places to visit from Moorleaze. NT properties include the incomparable Stourhead, just minutes away. Walkers are spoilt for choice, from the local countryside to the splendour of the Mendips, including Cheddar Gorge. With its magnificent indoor pool, games room, tennis court, climbing frame and idyllic setting, The Sunday Times described Moorleaze as a sure-fire child pleaser, and it’s just as popular with adults, an ideal break at any time of the year. The village pub is within walking distance. Shops 6 miles.
