A Heavenly Stay in the Heart of Somerset

A warm welcome awaits you in this magnificent and elegantly furnished 4 bedroom period home. From the neatly clipped hedges bordering the private gravel drive to the cosy farm kitchen with its classic flag stone flooring, this beautiful 16th century Farmhouse has been exquisitely restored to provide an exceptional quality stay to all its visitors.

Situated to left of the hand-built solid wood kitchen and its traditional Aga, lies a spacious conservatory and second kitchen. The bi-fold doors open out onto the south facing terrace and hexagonal Courtyard, making it the perfect place for sunlit winter breakfasts and alfresco dining in the summer months. The outdoor Pool and Pool House available from the beginning of May to the end of September provides the perfect place for those relaxing pool days, complete with steamroom and kitchen, while the surround sound Movie Room and Snug provide cosy spaces to retreat to on rainy days. Guests can rest in the sumptous bedrooms, relax in the Farmhouse Steamroom or simply soak up the warmth of an open fire in the Drawing Room.

This spacious home makes the perfect setting for special occasions or family get togethers, and affords a settled, still space in which to reconnect to oneself. Catering can also be provided and a range of diets easily catered for, all delivered in the privacy of this breath taking setting. The superfast internet connection enables you to work and communicate with the outside world with ease, and the Sun Room provides the perfect fusion of light, space and magnificent views that makes working while you're away a pure pleasure.

For those who enjoy a bit of fresh air, guests are very welcome to meander around the beautiful landscaped gardens, help feed the rare breed sheep, pigmy goats, hens and ducks or venture across 55 acres of unspoilt meadows and ancient woodlands. They can sun themselves by the wildlife ponds or while away Summer evenings roasting marshmallows around the fire pit.

Nestled in the North Somerset Mendips and close to Babington House, there is much to do and explore in the area. There are a wealth of beautiful restaurants and plenty of historic sites to visit, including Mells village just a few miles away, made famous by little Jack Horner. Nunney Castle, the Medieval Market Town of Frome, the Royal City of Bath and the Cathedral City of Wells, England's smallest city, supply a wealth of interesting places to visit. The giddy heights of Cheddar Gorge offer a hearty challenge for the dedicated hikers and Longleat Safari Park, just 30 minutes by car, is a must for family days out and special birthday treats.

More details on Somerset Soul and the surrounding area are supplied in the Digital Guidebook, recieved once your reservation is confirmed. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this exceptional estate.

Meet the owner

Michael and Tricia Nicholson

In 1989 while Michael and Tricia were looking for a suitable school for their young sons, they happened upon a derelict farm in Somerset. It was love at first sight. They proceeded to invest their care, energy and resources into transforming the place into a magnificent family home. Now in their later years they have opened the doors to travellers from all over the world to rest, rejuvenate and holiday in this heavenly haven. With a background in zoology, diving and marine biology, Tricia applied her huge love of pottery art and design in the restoration of this historic property. Michael, a dog lover and successful businessman, also shares Tricia's adoration of nature, trees, wild flower meadows and of course, people. Their combined sense of detail, design, geometry, natural order and harmony is present in every angle of this special property, in the reverential restoration, the delicately landscaped gardens and thriving farm estate. Together they deliver a warm-hearted, first-class service to all who venture to Somerset Soul. Their worldly-wise experience, pragmatism and humour combine to make all feel instantly at home and totally welcome in this astoundingly beautiful location.
