About this property

Atherstone Farmhouse - thatched farmhouse sleeps 10 guests in 4 bedrooms

Atherstone Farmhouse
With a stone floor, ancient beams and thatched roof it's a perfect farmhouse retreat. the house has been recently updated with a modern kitchen, bathrooms and entertainment system. Its rural location makes it a great escape for those looking for a countryside bolt-hole, with plenty of pubs to walk / cycle to and things to see and do nearby, and convenient shopping in Ilminster is not far away. And guests can now also benefit from a new wooden hot-tub in the garden and really enjoy the beauty of the surrounding courtyard!
Bedrooms
There are four comfortable bedrooms, all are en-suites and have deep mattresses, 400 thread count cotton bedding, indulgent mattress toppers and fluffy bathrobes, so you can truly settle into the cosiness of the house. The master bedroom has a king-sized four poster bed and a roll top bath and wood burning stove in the bedroom. There is an en-suite loo. The second bedroom can be setup with a superking-sized double or twin single beds, there is also a bunk bed in the room for extra kids. Its bathroom has a bath with shower above. The other two bedrooms can also be setup with superking-sized double beds, or twin single beds. Both also have walk-in showers and tiled floors with underfloor heating, but no bath.

The Farmhouse can be rented as a four bed or, if both houses are free, can also be rented with Atherstone Farm Cottage, which is an adjacent two bed at the other end of the property. The houses can be internally connected on the ground floor via a corridor which is otherwise locked when the two are rented separately. The Farm Cottage is also recently refurbished and has two bedrooms, both ensuite, one with a roll top bath and shower, the other a walk-in wetroom / shower. The cottage also has a modern kitchen, with a separate utility room, and a large stone-floored living and dining room with a wood-burning stove.

Living areas
The Farmhouse has a modern and well equipped eat-in kitchen, it's well equipped for cooking, with two electric ovens, a large induction hob, large fridge-freezer (including ice-machine) and dishwasher. The kitchen table can seat 10 comfortably. There is a separate utility room with a washer-drier. The sitting room has comfortable sofas, a wood-burning stove set into a large old stone fireplace and, to make the most of any rainy days, there are a few board games in the house, as well as a 55' flatscreen internet-connected TV with a Bluetooth soundbar. There is also a DAB radio / CD player that can also be used to play music / radio from a Bluetooth device.

There is also good-sized private lawn, a charcoal bbq and teak outdoor table and chairs for the summer (or the hardy!) and there is now a wooden hot-tub complete with lights and an air bubble system in the garden.

Ideal for a staycation!

Beautiful rustic property, very cosy and clean, great communication from booking to the final stay date. A special thanks to Helen who promptly popped over to help us with the oven which was a little technical :)

Marvellous venue

The house is amazing and the estate have thought of everything to make a stay there easy and comfortable. They were quick to respond to queries before our stay and genuinely wanted us to have a good time. We spent all weekend on the property enjoying the comfortable surroundings. My 2 grandchildren (6 and 2) spent almost the entire time in the hot tub. We would definitely return, thank you for making our family weekend so memorable.

About the host

Hosted by Ewen Cameron

Host profile image
The Dillington Estate is a family owned working farm and Estate, covering around 3,000 acres in rural South Somerset. The Estate is comprised of what were once several separate farms, and with the modern farming enterprise now centred in Whitelackington Farm and the Knott-Oak Dairy, many of the old farm buildings and cottages are now used as holiday accommodation, commercial offices or industrial spaces.

The restoration and conversion of our farm buildings is an ongoing project, but some of these beautiful buildings have now been renovated to offer accommodation for couples, groups of family or friends – and those looking to host larger celebrations or events.​​

We would be delighted to welcome you to stay and hope to see you in this beautiful corner of the Westcountry soon!
