Charming Cottage in idyllic location on Stourhead Estate

Our beautiful four-bedroom cottage stands beside the entrance to Stourhead Gardens, owned by the National Trust. Built in the 18th century, the cottage is the largest in a terrace of three, which look across the green to the lovely historic church of St Peter. It is available for holiday rental for the first time and offers spacious self-catering accommodation for eight. There are four double bedrooms, one of which has twin beds. Two rooms have ensuite bathrooms, complemented by a third family bathroom. Downstairs the accommodation consists of a fine sitting room and a separate dining room, both with views across the green, a well-equipped kitchen, cloakroom and utility room. There is a dishwasher, a washing machine and a dryer. To the rear is a small garden with a pretty courtyard. The cottage’s unique situation offers guests the opportunity to explore Stourhead’s stunning lakeside gardens in the early morning and evening when the crowds have gone. Stourton village is surrounded by many miles of open, downland countryside and woodland, cris-crossed by footpaths and bridleways, making it the perfect centre for exploring one of Britain’s loveliest areas. The extraordinary garden project, The Newt in Somerset, is just a 20 minute drive away. Stonehenge is less than half an hour by car, and Dorset’s Jurassic Coast around an hour away.About pets:Pets allowed: less than 55 lbs per pet (limit 2 pets total).About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:Events allowed: family gatherings, birthday parties, weddings.Maximum event attendees: 10.
