"Stylish rooms and thoughtful extras in a house with a story to tell"
Overview
Guests who enjoy staying in a place with plenty of interesting history will love this building – it is where the Duke of Monmouth is reputed to have stayed in 1685, before and after the Battle of Sedgemoor. The three individually designed bedrooms offer king-size beds with either en suite shower rooms or an en suite bathroom with a roll-top bath. Thoughtful extras include fluffy robes, safes and mini fridges in each room and ironing boards. Breakfast is a leisurely affair as you watch your host prepare your food on the red range cooker, which is then served at either at the large table in the comfortable kitchen, or in the courtyard, weather permitting.

About the area
Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer.
