Atherstone Farm Cottage - charming thatched cottage, sleeps 4 guests in 2 rooms

Atherstone Farm Cottage
With a stone floor, ancient beams and thatched roof it's the picture of a romantic country cottage, but now 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.
Bedrooms
There are two comfortable bedrooms, both en-suites., with deep mattresses, 400 thread count cotton bedding, indulgent mattress toppers and fluffy bathrobes, so you can truly settle into the cosiness of the cottage. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed and a spacious bathroom with a roll-top bath and walk-in shower. The second bedroom can be arranged as a superking-sized double or with two single beds. Its bathroom is a walk-in modern wetroom with heated stone tile floors.

Living areas
The house has a large living area for four people, with a long dining / sitting room. The sitting room has comfortable sofas, a wood-burning stove set into a large stone fireplace and is equipped with a 55' flatscreen internet-connected TV with a Bluetooth soundbar that can be used to play music / radio through the TV or from a Bluetooth device, or just envelop those who want to relax with a movie.

The kitchen is modern and well equipped with an electric oven, hob and dishwasher. There is a separate utility room with a large fridge-freezer (including ice-machine) and a washer-drier.

There is also good-sized private lawn, a bbq and teak outdoor table and chairs for the summer (or the hardy!)

Calm and quiet

Had a four day break with parents, the cottage was spotless on arrival and well equipped. The wifi was occasionally sporadic but to be expected in a rural area. We slept well with no passing traffic and even with four adults there was ample hot water.Lots of seating and although weather was poor the outside seating area was great . Small downside was the property can be rented alongside next door(semi detached) , there is a locked interconnecting door but the noise can carry through a little .

Great place to stay and very nicely kitted out. The barbecues should be moved away from the house

Lovely place and nicely furnished. I would recommend moving both barbecues away from the house. On a fine summers evening we had to shut the bedroom windows due to smoke from the neighbours barbecue. That apart a great place to stay.

The perfect antidote to our hectic lives!

We arrived frazzled after a very busy few weeks at home. From the minute we walked through the door of the cottage we relaxed. Lamps lit, warm, provisions in the kitchen, flowers in a vase. The cottage is full of period features without skimping anywhere on comfort or quality. A luxurious bathroom, a bed made with care, a wood-burning stove and peace. We wanted for nothing more.

Amazing cottage in the heart of the west country

All the charm of a centuries old thatched roof farm cottage but with the amenities of the 21st century. Lovely touches throughout make this rental seem so cosy and welcoming. Great kitchen to cook in, lots of places to entertain, or slip away to read. 2 great large bedrooms with lots of storage and modern bathrooms. WC downstairs for guests and a great open plan dining room and living room with blazing fire and flat screen TV. Lovely garden where we sat and had a glass of wine as the kids played safely like maniacs. Perfect. Just very comfortable all around for a family with kids or 2 couples. We would rent again here in a heartbeat. Very good communication w owners and the fresh flowers and personal touches evident when we first stepped in the door made it even better.....
