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.

Reviews

E, Richmond

Sarah and Andy were great hosts. The kitchen was well-stocked, even with specific dietary requirements. The cottage was beautiful and very clean. 10/10 would recommend!


Marie, St Ives

We arrived amidst storm Dennis! Sarah brought us straight into the farmhouse for tea and cake. It was the perfect start to a lovely stay. Sock Cottage is charming - beautifully appointed and well equipped with kind and caring hosts who clearly enjoy welcoming visitors. Highly recommended.


Sarah

We have not long returned from our fourth stay at Sock Cottage and are already looking forward to our next visit. It is an absolute haven of tranquillity, the cottage is beautiful as are the surroundings and Sarah is the most welcoming host. Thank you for another perfect holiday!


Alison, Worcester

Had a wonderful 2 night stay at Sock Cottage. Sarah and Andy were very welcoming, friendly and helpful plus 2 very friendly dogs! Breakfast was self catering and Sarah provided us with excellent local produce. The accommodation was outstanding, wished we could have spent longer there. Will definitely return!


Andrew, San Francisco CA

Ideal place for a couple looking for a comfortable stay in the countryside. The setting is ideal (the roads are narrow but totally worth the effort) and the cottage is very clean, really well appointed, tons of room lovely shower and a huge comfortable bed. I don't do reviews but this place is worth it. Sarah and Andy are unobtrusive but caring hosts - its hard to fake a welcoming cup of tea!


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.
