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

Ariane, Amsterdam

Stock Cottage is a real paradise! A cosy, spacious place with beautifully homemade woodwork, set in the peaceful and rolling landscape of Somerset. We’ve made some amazing hikes at Ham Hill. Sarah and Andy are the lovely owners who made us feel very welcome and at home. We’d love to come back!


Sue, Bridlington, East Yorkshire

Fabulous holiday rental. Just as described. Tucked away and very peaceful. Sock Cottage is ideally situated for accessing beaches around the durasic coast as well as Cheddar gorge, Glastonbury etc. Museums on doorstep for car and flight enthusiasts. Plenty of lovely places to eat out in the locality and cottage well equipped for self catering. Wonderful hosts who make you feel welcome the minute you arrive. Arrive as strangers depart as friends. Thank you Sarah and Andy.


Kurt, London

Sock Cottage is the perfect place to get away from city life. We cannot praise Sarah and Andy enough, they made us feel very welcome and they provided us with all the local produce to have a brilliant breakfast. The cottage was beautifully clean and had a wonderful soft bed and the shower was brilliant. We would certainly recommend a stay here.


Dan, Wiltshire

We managed to get 2 nights off to recharge our batteries and we chose a cottage very carefully. Sock Cottage was absolutely perfect. The cottage is so luxurious that the damp weather didn’t matter. We have taken photos of the kitchen which Andy and Sarah made as it is so nice. It would look great in our house. The food supplies were delicious and was so generous. If we ever get some time off again we’ll definitely be back. The trip to Sherborne was a highlight and wished we had had longer. Thanks both.


Sally, Lincolnshire

Sock cottage is everything the photos indicate and ... far more. It's clean, tidy, and very thoughtfully well stocked. Sarah and Andy are lovely hosts who really care about making your stay a good one. For me, it was a beautiful, peaceful bolt hole, enabling me to sit with a glass of wine in the evening, on one occasion outside in the little courtyard, breathing in clean, fresh air in the diminishing twilight, listening to buzzards and owls calling and horses chuffing .. soooo peaceful and therapeutic! I really hope to return again and would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone.


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.
