This level also features a sleek modern bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower.

After a day exploring Somerset, unwind in the cosy seating area with a smart TV, cable channels and a Bluetooth speaker for music or movie nights. An additional upstairs WC adds extra convenience.



Outside, a sunny decked seating area provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. The cottage can be accessed from both the front and rear, with free on-street parking available on the roads surrounding the property.



A well-equipped and thoughtfully designed base, perfect for couples, friends or business travellers exploring Castle Cary and beyond.

The Neighborhood:

Castle Cary, in the heart of rural Somerset, offers the perfect balance of countryside peace and easy access to local shops, pubs, and some of the region’s best attractions. Just a few minutes’ walk away, Castle Cary High Street has everything you need for your stay, including a small supermarket, traditional bakery, butcher, wine merchant, post office, chemist, cafés, and independent shops.



Food lovers are well catered for, with excellent local dining options nearby. Enjoy a meal or drink at The George on the High Street, The Orchard in Galhampton, The Natterjack in Evercreech, or The Alhampton Inn. For something different, Rio D’Oro serves excellent Italian food, while Burnt Honey is a lovely local café for coffee, breakfast, or lunch. Booking ahead is highly recommended, as many local venues have limited opening days.



From the rear of the house, you can step straight into beautiful countryside walks, with far-reaching views across the Somerset Levels towards Glastonbury Tor. Just a couple of minutes away, the historic All Saints Church adds to the village’s charm. If you're staying on a Tuesday, don’t miss the local farmers’ market for fresh produce and local treats.



A short drive takes you to Wincanton Racecourse for racing and events, while mystical Glastonbury offers the Tor, Abbey ruins, and the famous festival site. Nearby The Newt in Somerset is a must-visit for its spectacular gardens, woodland walks, farm shops, and dining. Historic Wells, England’s smallest city, and elegant Sherborne, with its abbey and castle, both make excellent day trips.



With countryside walks, local food, historic towns and Somerset’s best attractions close by, Castle Cary is a wonderful base for exploring this beautiful part of the South West.



Getting Around:

For those who drive, there is ample free parking on the streets at the front and back for the cottage. However, driving isn't essential, as Castle Cary benefits from pretty good travel connections for a small town in Somerset!



The local train station is around 25 minutes walk or a 5 minute drive away from the property. Taxis are available from the station, though pre-booking is advised. Trains run directly from London Paddington and take roughly 1 hour 30 minutes, as well as Bristol, Bath and Exeter. There is also a local bus service.



Other Things to Note:

We welcome one small dog with a fee of £20. It is on the condition they are not allowed on the sofas, beds and not left in the property unattended. Any mess outside must be cleared up.
