The Experience

Wind round a final bend to confront a wild valley: 35 acres dotted with horses and mown by sheep – yours to explore. The owners’ house, at the end of the long, high-hedgerowed lane, was the keeper’s cottage for Elizabethan Montacute House, six miles down the bridle path and a lovely walk. Your cottage, a beautifully converted single-storey old dairy, is attached. Open the door to a find a little nest glowing in the sunlight, all whites, creams and soft grey-blues.

You’re left very generous breakfast ingredients with tasty alternatives for vegetarians: sausages and bacon, eggs, bread, butter, milk, tomatoes and mushrooms – all from local farm suppliers. It’s a lovely place, informal and fuss-free. Walks from the door are plentiful and on balmy days you can sit outside and enjoy the views across the fields.

Eat in one of the nearby recommended places, stock up in Yeovil, visit the farm shop a mile down the lane (it has a bistro too). Return to the big goosedown-dressed bed and a peaceful night.

Reviews

A very romantic spot in the untrammelled hills of Somerset, filled with birdsong, fields and woodland for perfect walks. Garden lovers will be particularly happy here with a footpath walk to Tintinhull and a slightly longer walk to Montacute - both away from busy roads.
Inspected Nicola Sawday's Inspector

If only we had booked more than 3 days at Sock Cottage!! Sarah and Andy made us feel very welcome, and ensured that we had everything we needed - including excellent recommendations for the local pubs. The cottage could not have been more idyllic - fully stocked with the most amazing and fresh local breakfast goodies, and a perfect place for us to hide away in for a few days. We will visit again no doubt. Its a must!

Susi

This is a truly charming cottage, restored with great care, craftsmanship and thought. It exceeds its promises. We found everything beautifully presented, immaculately clean and very welcoming, and were at once, at home with all we could need and much more! Lovely bed linen, fresh flowers, and Sarah and Andy, so accomodating and welcoming, and providing any extra attention they could lavish. We felt very cared for in the beautiful surroundings of their farm set in the peace of the lovely Somerset countryside. This was a haven and a privilege!

I booked Sarah and Andy's cottage for a romantic (proposal) getaway for me and my partner (now fiancee). The cottage itself was extremely well presented and we felt at home straight away. The location was exactly what I was looking for, rural but well connected, ideal for long beautiful walks into the surrounding countryside and to National Trust properties. Sarah and Andy were welcoming but not intrusive during our stay. They welcomed us into their farm house for a cup of tea when we arrived and gave us a wealth of ideas for activities in the area. We'll definitely be coming back!

Location

The neighbourhood

From the cottage, Tintinhull is a 20-minute stroll, or Montacute 40 mins – both along bridle paths – the hearty can join The Monarch's Way and go further. Martock is the closest village (there's a super garden centre on the way) and has a bakery, butcher, small supermarket, farm shop and a gallery. Ham Hill is walkable for the fit or a 10-min drive. Good pubs include The Rose & Crown at Trent (15 mins), The Devonshire Arms and The Barrington Boar.

Local points of interest from Sarah Steggall

  • Wake up to magnificent birdsong. Woodpeckers, squirrels and badgers in the wood, wrens and swallows nesting in the small barn opposite the cottage and buzzards displaying their flying skills over our hills. We even have wild deer in our hedgerows.
  • There is no need to shop on your way here. You will find the little kitchen stocked with all the immediate essentials to welcome you plus local farm produce of your choice to create a delicious breakfast the following morning.
  • Although Sock Farm nestles in its own valley at the end of a long 'No Through Road', we are within a few minutes of main routes from London to the West Country. Its unique position offers peace and tranquillity with easy access to explore the area.
  • Enjoy some of the excellent pubs and restaurants in the area. Our eldest son is a rather splendid Head Chef and has put together a 'well tested' list of suggestions for you to try.
  • For keen walkers we have direct access from our land onto Monarch's Way. This runs for 615 miles and was the escape route taken by King Charles ll after being defeated in the Battle of Worcester! A stroll to Montacute House is only 40 minutes though.
