“Glebe Cottage”
This is a one-bedroom/en-suite bathroom Georgian country cottage with exclusive use throughout your stay.
Upstairs, the vaulted king-sized bedroom is calm, airy and beautifully styled, with exposed natural, original beams, Pooky bedside lamps and luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding. The space comfortably sleeps two adults. There is also room for a travel cot for under 3s and, if needed, we can provide a comfortable floor mattress and bedding, suitable for a child up to around 7 years old.
The en-suite bathroom features a generous walk-in rainfall shower, marble tiling, a chic vanity wash basin with stylish Alice Palmer wall lights and fluffy towels. NB: It is shower only, but we can provide a baby bathing rest on request.
Downstairs, Glebe Cottage is full of character. Original flagstone flooring, exposed beams and thick stone walls create warmth and atmosphere, while oil central heating and underfloor heating upstairs ensure it is always exceptionally cosy.
The large dining room seats 10+ with a cosy armchair next to the log burner. We can provide logs and kindling for your stay. It is the perfect place to unwind after a long countryside walk.
The kitchen is anchored by a traditional Aga with two ovens and two hobs, ideal for slow breakfasts and relaxed suppers. There is also a Nespresso machine with pods provided, kettle, toaster and rice maker. A welcome hamper awaits you with coffee capsules, plenty of tea variety, fresh milk, jam and fresh farm eggs from the village!
Fast 500mb WiFi is available throughout.

Outside
The cottage has its own enclosed private garden, safe for both dogs and children, with lawn, and fire pit.
Guests also have access to our adjoining family garden, which includes a large playground, trampoline, Astro sports pitch, golf net and plenty of open space for kicking a ball around. There will be an outdoor dining table and chairs in the main garden in spring and summer months. It is a wonderful sun trap for long lunches, evening drinks and stargazing.
A kissing gate leads directly into open fields and public footpaths. You can walk four fields to The Bell at Buckland Dinham (our village pub) for lunch, or follow scenic routes towards Great Elm, Frome and Babington. The countryside here is truly beautiful.

This is a place to slow down, cook properly, walk for miles, sit by the fire and enjoy the countryside. Whether you are visiting for a romantic weekend, a young family break or a dog-friendly rural escape, the cottage offers warmth, comfort and space in one of Somerset’s most scenic locations.
