The Neighborhood:
Welcome to Farthings, a cosy cottage in Kingsdon. Nestled in the heart of Somerset, you'll find a myriad of activities just a stone's throw away.

For the nature enthusiast, this is a gateway to the stunning Mendip Hills. Lace up your hiking boots and explore scenic trails that wind through lush meadows and ancient woodlands. Don't miss the opportunity to visit Glastonbury Tor, an iconic hill with panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. You don't need to travel far though, as the surrounding countryside is littered with footpaths.

Further afield, you can enjoy the lively town of Glastonbury. Here you'll find an eclectic collection of artisan shops, cafes, pubs and more. Discover the renowned Hauser & Wirth gallery in Bruton a similar distance away. Bruton is also a foodie hot spot in Somerset where you can dine at the Michelin star Osip or one of the many other highly regarded restaurants. The popular Newt Hotel is also very close by and offers fine dining and a lovely spa.

The historic “smallest city in England”, Wells, is also a short drive away. With the 1000-year-old Wells Cathedral and Bishops Palace, historic market square, and abundance of great cafes and pubs, it is well worth a visit. You'll also find open-air markets with all manner of wares.

A little further, you can explore the picturesque village of Sherborne or Frome. Shop for goodies at the famous Frome Market (open every first Sunday of the month) which showcases independent designers, food makers and food producers. Within an hour's drive, you can also reach Stonehenge, Longleat and the Wookey Hole caves. There is so much to do in this special corner of the world!

Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of rural Somerset, a vehicle is recommended to make the most of your stay here. Private off road parking is available for one vehicle and there is also free on street parking.

If you travel by train, the nearest station is in Castle Cary around 10.5 miles or 20 minutes drive away. It is rideable for those with bikes and the garden is fully enclosed so is safe for storage.

Other Things to Note:
We welcome a maximum of 2 dogs on the condition they are kept off sofas and beds, not left in the property unattended and any dog mess is cleaned up.
