The Experience
Wind round a final bend to confront a wild valley, so wide and grassy it could be a backdrop to ‘Watership Down’. Here lie 35 acres dotted with horses and mown by sheep: yours to explore. The owners’ house, at the end of the long, high-hedgerow’d lane, was the Keeper’s Cottage for Montacute House, six miles down the bridle path and Elizabethan (yes, you can walk there). Your cottage (please no dogs), a beautifully converted single-storey old dairy, is attached. Open the stable door to a find a little nest glowing in the sunlight, all whites, creams and soft grey-blues. The clever woodwork is Andy’s – his workshop is on site – while Sarah runs a stud farm and breeds German ponies. A hamstone wall and an arched doorway separate the dreamy living and sleeping areas: fat white sofa, coir carpeted floor, woody kitchenette. Eat in Tintinhull, stock up in Yeovil, visit the farm shop a mile down the lane (it has a bistro too). Return to exposed beams above the big goosedown-dressed bed, and a little courtyard that catches the sun.

A beautiful, immaculately fitted out cottage in a most beautiful location. Delicious fresh produce in the cottage when we arrived meant no rush to shop for food. The huge bed in the huge bedroom was so comfortable that we needed some discipline to get up in the morning! Sarah and Andy made us feel truly welcome and were always at hand if needed. All around green fields, hills and trees - that is the view from Sock Cottage. What is not to love? We will be back.

Sock Cottage was a great find. It is beautifully fitted out. Sarah the host is kind and welcoming but not intrusive. The food and provisions for breakfast lasted us 3 nights and so we didn't need to go shopping. The cottage is tucked away in a beautiful bit of countryside, very quiet and lots of birds. The huge bed was very comfortable and the shower is amazing. The lighting in the bedroom could be a little stronger and a log fire would have just finished it off nicely.

My wife and I found ourselves looking for that exceptional place where our last 5 months of complete lockdown was not thrown away. It has been so very difficult for us rather elderly to manage over this difficult time but we needed that break, as most people do. What we found was the most beautiful home you could ever wish for!! A cottage so comfortable and welcoming, fabulous space and stunning scenery. ADD to that the absolute charming and brilliant hosts, Andy and Sarah and you have a package that is unbeatable. Not forgetting the two adorable dogs, who we fell in love with. WE WILL BE BACK

We loved being at Sock Cottage. It's at the end of a long track so there is no passing traffic - our ideal, as Londoners, searching for quiet but civilised remoteness. Surrounded by lush, hill fields the whole atmosphere is tranquil. The interior of cottage itself is thoughtfully and stylishly furnished; all the wood work including Gothic-style magnificent double doors into the bedroom has been made by Sarah's talented husband Andy. Supplies of both local foods and toiletries are extremely generous. Sarah and Andy are warm, lovely people who go out of their way to be helpful. We'd go again!

Location
The neighbourhood
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 tranquility with easy access to explore and enjoy 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.
- A growing number of our guests now have electric cars. We have a charging point in the stable yard close to the cottage for convenience.

We had a lovely stay, despite the strange Covid times! The Cottage is lovely, really comfy and well equipped. The Owners are charming and Sarah left us a fabulous "welcome pack", and had pre booked some excellent restaurants for us - so we waddled out at the end of our stay! The location is excellent with plenty to see within easy reach, and walks directly from the Cottage.
