About this property

16thCentury cottage, foothills of Glastonbury Tor, outdoor pool.

16 th century stone farmhouse annex built with stone from Glastonbury Abbey, with cottage stable door, exposed beams, stone mullions, window seats and flagstone floor.
Short walk across fields and footpaths to the summit of Glastonbury Tor.
The farmhouse was lovingly restored in 2019 using traditional lime plaster methods and low volatile eco-friendly paints, installing a filter for drinking water. There are 2 bedrooms, ( 1 double , 1 twin with ensuite, 2nd bathroom. The annex also benefits from a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, dining table and a separate lounge with wood-burning stove. There is underfloor heating in the kitchen to make it extra cosy in the winter months.
I live next door in the main part of the house so will be available to greet you and if you need anything during your stay.
You'll have your own separate seating area and personal entrance under the rose arch, and can also enjoy use of my private swimming pool, and I'm happy to share my 1/2 acre garden which has lots of secluded seating areas. There's a brick built BBQ base under the apple tree suitable for charcoal BBQ's.
Surrounded by nature you'll enjoy far reaching views across fields as far as Wells Cathedral and Mendip Hills.
Its an ideal location for a restful holiday or perfect for longer stays of 2 - 4 weeks if you fancy a working break in the country away from the city.
If you enjoy walking there are plenty of footpaths and quiet lanes, nature reserves within easy reach. Plenty of flat cycling, and enjoy a plethora of wildlife, we sometimes get visiting deer in the garden, see hedgehogs and the hedgerows abound with chirpy sparrows and other bird-life.
It's also an area of historical interest through the ages with Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Cave, Glastonbury Abbey, Burrow Mump ( famous as the place that King Alfred took refuge and burnt the cakes!), Wells Cathedral and Bishops Palace, Chalice Well Gardens and Spring.
Have an interesting stroll along Glastonbury High Street with its colourful mix of eclectic shops.
There are traditional Street markets in Wells on Wednesdays and Saturdays and in Glastonbury on Tuesday with local food and crafts.
Visit Wilkins Cider Farm a family farm that has been using traditional methods to produce Somerset cider over many generations.

A lovely cozy cottage in a quiet spot very close to the Tor. Walkable to Glastonbury. Plenty to do around the local area and good pubs and restaurants nearby. We particularly enjoyed watching the buzzards and deer in the field opposite.

Lovely Property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be happy to rebook. Enjoyed a fire in the wood burning stove almost nightly. It is a very quiet location; the beds are comfortable. The city of Wells is very close to the property which we enjoyed more than Glastonbury, If you like history go to Wells.

Wonderful property, location and host

We had a fabulous time at Tamsin's property. The cottage has been renovated to a high standard, is very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The pool was a huge hit with our son and the garden full of colour. The location is also superb, just under the Tor, with beautiful views over the Somerset countryside. Tamsin was a kind and helpful host, she was welcoming and full of ideas and connections that made our stay very special. I highly recommend staying here.

Lovely stay

We loved staying at Tamsin's! The cottage is just beautiful, with picture-perfect views from every window. Everything was spotlessly clean and of the highest quality. We were touched by the thoughtful welcome gifts which included wine, chocolate and homemade apple juice - so generous! Tamsin was a wonderful host - so welcoming and helpful, and a clear communicator throughout. We feel very lucky to have stayed here, and would love to return one day.

I loved my stay here. It was absolutely magical, I ended up prolonging it for an additional four days because I quite literally couldn't get enough. Tamsin is a wonderful host and she made me feel absolutely welcome. The house is adorable - it has everything you need and is very clean. I cannot recommend this property high enough. I will most certainly be coming back. <3

Perfect cottage, location and host.

We have stayed at many holiday cottages over the years, this cottage was perfect and was probably the best we have ever stayed in. The host is lovely; obviously cares that you are happy with the accommodation. The cottage has been equipped with everything one could ever need. The pool is well kept. So lovely not to have to share with lots of other people. The photographs do not really show the cottage at its best.

A perfect holiday

Our family, dog included, all had a wonderful time at the house, garden, pool and surrounding countryside. The house is thoughtfully decorated and furnished to give a home from home experience. The comfort and relaxing experience were echoed in the clean, refreshing swimming pool and garden, enjoyed almost daily thanks to the lovely weather. With internet access and plenty of television entertainment, we were covered for a rainy day or two. Thank you to our host for her hospitality and shared information of the local area.
