The Experience
Sleep well in comfortable rooms full of period features – the beams and doors were probably taken from the castle in the village and there’s a deep well connected to an underground Priest Hole below the dining table to marvel at; Jayne and Andrew carefully renovated the house and will happily tell you all about the fascinating history.
Food is fresh, locally sourced or from the veg patch – breakfast in the summer room or on the patio next to the wildflowers; choose a full English or croissants and seasonal fruits served with homemade jams and granola.
Head out for walks from the doorstep through fields and along the river. There are plenty of cycle paths to explore: pick up route 24 straight through Longleat – you may even see giraffes – or set off for Bath. Frome is only five minutes away with its independent shops, great restaurants and lively markets. Head back to enjoy a sundowner with castle views or cosy up in the snug by the log-burner.

We had a fabulous stay at Jayne and Andrew's beautifully renovated B&B. They are warm, friendly hosts who made us feel very welcome. Their thoughtfullness was wonderful: they devised an easter egg hunt in their garden as a lovely surprise for our two (very) delighted children. And when one child was poorly, they went the extra mile in helping us with medication. We really felt well looked after. Wonderful breakfasts, with custom-made sausages, and jam made from raspberries grown in their sunny garden. We stayed in the beautifully refurbished Rumplestilskin suite: a cosy and historic suite, yet

Beautiful old house with lots of history. In village with good pub, (for evening meal), and small but well-stocked supermarket. Jayne, the hostess, cooks a brilliant breakfast to order and has returned things we left through the post! Next time in Frome area we will revisit. Thank you Jayne.

Jayne and Andrew's place at Cherry Tree Farm is the perfect UK countryside destination. Their place has a great blend of classic charm and modern amenities. The grounds are beautiful with an abundance of flowers and song birds. Jayne was super friendly and easy to work with and gave us lots of good advice on where to go and things to do. The breakfasts were made to order and delicious. The town of Nunney is a hidden gem with a neat old castle, gorgeous church, walking path, local tavern and country store. My family had a wonderful time during our visit. Highly Recommend.

Jayne and Andrew are great hosts, very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They have beautifully restored their home which is very comfortable and full of historic features, including amazing beams, fire place, priest hole, well and a lovely view from the garden to the ruined castle. Breakfast was delicious with Jayne's homemade granola, jam and marmalade, tasty seasonal fruits and cooked breakfast. Would highly recommend staying here and we will certainly be back.

Cherry Tree Farm is a beautiful cottage in a charming village which has its own castle and it's own pub. Jayne's a great host & her breakfasts are tremendous: delicious fresh fruit, home-made jam & home-made granola as well as cooked items. As a family of 4 we stayed in 'Rumpelstiltskin', the most recently renovated part of the building. Our 7 & 9 year old enjoyed sleeping on the lower level in a comfy sofa bed with a wall-mounted telly. We loved sleeping upstairs beneath the ancient beams. Convenient for Frome, Longleat, Bath & Bruton.

I can't recommend Cherry Tree Farm enough and I need an excuse to come back! Stunningly restored farm house, beautiful rooms and the most delightful hosts who couldn't do enough for us. Delicious breakfast and Nunney is the prettiest village, with a little shop, pub and an amazing ruined castle. So close to Frome too. The garden is stunning and it was so lovely to enjoy drinks and fish and chips. We were really made to feel at home. Thank you Jayne and Andrew!

It’s always an adventure staying somewhere new. How will it be, is it easy to find, are the hosts happy people? However it is rare to find somewhere so engaging that it immediately feels like home - indeed better than home for a range of unique aspects. The bed is blissful, the beams are state treasures, the modern travertine walk-in shower is a delightful drench after a day in the saddle, cycling with the lions in nearby Longleat. It oozes their pride & energy and has the warm embrace of a ‘happy place’. Bring a cherry pip & your hosts might plant a bit of you, there, too. Utterly delightful.

My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Cherry Tree Farm, despite the weather doing its best to spoil things! We stayed in Amber’s Room which was comfortable and had everything we needed, and we particularly liked our bathroom. Jayne was an attentive host and shared with us the history of the house, which has been painstakingly restored, and her knowledge of the surrounding area.

This is a great spot in a sociable village very close to buzzy Frome - there's a large garden to roam and a cosy sitting room to snuggle up in. Friendly Jayne and her husband will tell you all the fascinating history on the house and you can get more of a culture fix in the castle down the road (which you can also see from the garden!).

Location
The neighbourhood
The house is right in the village of Nunney – it’s a friendly village with lots of events throughout the year. Pop down the road to the pub for a pint or The Moat and Turret for a café snack; walk to Nunney Castle to learn more about the history of the area and explore the ruins. Hauser & Wirth, Bruton, is 30 minutes in the car - go for amazing gardens, world-class exhibitions and good food. There are great walks all around; the Deverills (15 minutes) offers panoramic views.
Local points of interest from Jayne James
- Our village has a ruined castle from the 15th century. It has a variety of events throughout the year from an Easter bonnet parade to carols in the castle. We also have in August a village fayre which includes entertainment food and 100 craft stalls
- Our farmhouse is full of character including a 15 metre well which links to a secret priest hole you can view. We also have doors taken from the castle in the 15th century.
- We have a walled garden where you can sit and relax and take in the castle view. We have dug up grape shot ( stone balls fired from a musket ) which came from the battle in which the castle fell to Cromwell's army.
- You're surrounded by beautiful quiet walks and cycle routes with many good places to stop for refreshment. We are both keen walkers and cyclist so can advise you on routes.
- Frome is 10 minutes by car with many events throughout the year including the famous Frome independent market which happens each month. There are great independent shops and restaurants there. Come and visit Katherine hill for quirky vintage clothing .
- We have many tourist attractions close by including Longleat house and Stourhead national trust. Also nearby are the spectacular gardens and art gallery of Hauser and Wirth .

Introducing
Jayne James
Jayne and Andrew (along with Fred the Labrador and Mike the cat) moved to Cherry Tree Farm in 2015 for a lifestyle change – Jayne worked for the NHS and as a senior lecturer at UWE, Andrew is a project manager. It took over three and a half years to renovate Cherry Tree Farm and they’ve worked carefully to retain many of the original period features. They’re both passionate about sustainability and history – as well as knowing a lot about area.
We loved our stay, especially the house's features and the garden. Andrew and Jayne are excellent hosts. We definitively felt at home, we could go in and out with a feeling of freedom - as of it was our own place. We loved our bedroom, it was full of character and very comfortable. Sitting in the beautiful garden enjoying a glass of wine with their dog, was very relaxing. We would reccomend to anyone wanting to explore Somerset, we spent an afternoon at Hauser and Firth which was very pleasant. The castle in Nunney and nearby walks made our time very special. Thank you Jayne and Andrew!
