村自体は、お店やパブのない非常に小さな集落です。 The Red Lion、Babcary(5分)、The Bull Inn、Hardway(15分)、The Queens Arms、Corton Denham(15分)、The White Hart、Somerton(20分)など、素晴らしいパブが近くにあります。 ブルートンとキャッスルケアリーへは10分以内です。 ブルートンには、ロスバーアンドグリルやアットザチャペルなど、数多くの素晴らしいレストランがあります。
We had a wonderful time, a family gathering to celebrate a 90th birthday. The house had everything we needed. The pool is fab, Warm and sheltered. With the good weather it got well used. One day the whole family, ages 2 - 90, played in the water. The location is lovely. So quiet with wonderful views at the rear. Watching the Barn owl fly to and fro at dusk so close to the house was magical. Thank you Laura for the use of your home.

What an amazing getaway. If there is a better place to unwind in the English countryside I don’t know it and have never heard about it. The Old Rectory is in the perfect location and next door to a 13th century church. The house is amazing with plenty of room to spread about. Multiple living areas which was ideal as we had three generations of family with us. The kitchen is gourmet and grand and everyone can hang out with the chef while he cooks! Bedrooms are large and very private. Bathrooms aplenty. The media room was the gathering place every evening for movies. Other rooms were used for puzzles and backgammon. If I had one complaint it would be that the view was so amazing that you hardly wanted to leave the house.
As for location we were close to local pubs (red lion and queens arms are a must). Great food and galleries in Bruton. Wells is not to be missed. And the Newt for a long lunch and fabulous gardens. We are already planning our return. Thanks for a fabulous family getaway!

Familieweekblad at The Old Rectory
We had a lovely week in a this fantastic house. Large enough for our group of 12 and with lots of character to feel like a home. We thoroughly enjoyed this place!

Excellent, if you want luxury and space this house has it all
We were an extended family of eight adults, three young children and a dog.
The house is situated in a large private garden with lovely views over surrounding farm land. The accommodation is extremely comfortable and spacious offering all the facilities a family could want. We were lucky with the weather meaning the private swimming pool was an added bonus. The garden and children's play area was also ideal.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this house, everything you could want.

Spacious and elegant period property
Spacious and elegant period property with a great setting in rolling countryside. Well equipped both inside and out, with comfortable bedrooms, lots of reception rooms (including a great home cinema room) and plenty of things to do in the surrounding area.

Beautiful home in beautiful countryside
We rented this beautiful home during half-term for a family getaway. We had terrible weather while we were there—three storms passed—however, the size and warmth of the home, made it a wonderfully cozy trip. We made lovely fires and watched movies on a big screen, while cooking big stews on the AGA. The kiddos, 3 and 7, ran out to jump on the trampoline and play on the swings between rains and wind gusts. Luckily there is a large bootroom to keep kiddos and dog mud contained and out of the main house. The 12 year old was delighted that we kept a strong WiFi signal during the storms. The beds were all comfortable, with gorgeous, crisp sheets.
My only complaint, and this is minor, is that we were met with so many rules when we first entered the property. For this level of price and deposit, I’m more used to a greeting with a complimentary bottle of wine and an enthusiastic here-are-all-the-things-you-can-enjoy-while-you-are-here tour, rather than a don’t-do-that-or-that. It did make us all nervous the first couple of days before we could relax in the space. I do write this paragraph with sympathy, I may do the same thing if I owned and rented out this stately Old Rectory. That said, we would rent this home again, knowing we could abide by the rules, while relaxing in a beautiful setting.

Lovely Christmas stay
We had a great stay at the Old Rectory over Christmas and New Year as an extended family. The house is large and very comfortable - really suitable for a multi family group. We loved all the walking directly from the property and the wonderful views. Leander and Laura were very helpful throughout and the whole trip was a pleasure.

Lovely house for a country stay
We recently stayed at the Old Rectory as an October half-term break. We loved the property, especially the cinema room which was great for kids and adults alike. Perfect property for two families looking for a country stay (but close enough to the likes of Bruton and Wells for shopping and sightseeing, plus "The Newt" only a 10 min drive away). Look forward to returning in warmer weather so we can take advantage of the pool! Hosts very helpful and made the whole stay go extremely smoothly.

Lovely house
The house is very spacious and well-equipped throughout, located in a peaceful hamlet with stunning views over the Somerset Levels. The playroom, swimming pool and trampoline made it a very special holiday for the children. It's a wonderful house for a family holiday.

A great place to stay
The house is very spacious, tastefully and stylishly furnished and is set in extensive and attractive grounds. The manager can be readily contacted and proved very friendly, attentive and helpful.
The location offers a very varied range of museums, historic buildings and beaches within easy reach.
We would recommend this property to anyone seeking a memorable country break.

I’m a wildlife filmmaker living in beautiful Somerset with my wife Laura and two happy children.
I once made a wildlife film for Disney about flamingos that was shown in cinemas around the world.
I love to travel, although haven't felt such itchy feet since moving to this wild part of England.
I love to walk on the Somerset Levels and photograph the starling murmurations.
I am a keen surfer and have been known to get up before dawn and drive to the coasts of Devon and Cornwall for a surf and then return in time for lunch at home. Being so close to the South West coasts is another great thing about living here!
I once came across an epitaph on a Cumbrian gravestone. It read:
"The wonders of the world The beauty and the power The shapes of things Their colours, lights and shades. These I saw. Look ye whilst life lasts."
This felt like good advice and has been something of a maxim for me on my own life journey!
