Stylish Studio Apartment for 2 people

The Dovecote - Sleeps 2. A perfect place to stay for two, with room for a travel cot.

This studio apartment is a beautiful large room with a super king bed, which can be made into two single beds, and plenty of storage space. Well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and en-suite shower room. Sitting area with bistro table and on the wall is a television with integrated smart functionality. Superfast 100Mbps dedicated fibre broadband. The entrance lobby has a separate space for outdoor clothes and wellies.

The Dovecote is ideal for couples, with access to 55 acres at Upper Vobster Farm to explore. You can join in with the morning animal feeding and go for a walk in the woods or along the stream.

With superfast 100Mbps dedicated fibre broadband, it makes it a great place to get away and work away. A beautiful space to gather and relax with friends and family.

Nestled in the Mendips in North Somerset there is plenty to do and explore. The market town of Frome and historic Nunney Castle are close by. Mells made famous by Jack Horner is a few minutes drive away. The City of Bath is only 13 miles and the cathedral city of Wells is definitely worth a visit. Book into Longleat Safari park which takes about 30 minutes to get to. Cheddar Gorge with its breath taking scenery and walks is a similar distance away and Stonehenge is within easy reach.

We have an abundance of excellent restaurants, pubs and cafes in the local area and for members of Soho House Group, Babington House is a few minutes drive away.

When you book with us, we will send you a digital guidebook which lists pretty well everything you need to know to make your stay with us as easy and enjoyable as possible. 

“This place is magical and a must see and stay. The hosts amazing and the scenery you have to see for yourself."

Meet the owner

Michael and Tricia Nicholson

When Tricia first visited the property she felt the potential of what the place could hold and always knew that it would be somewhere for people to come to. What's more, she saw the real purpose of the Farm as a place that opens its doors to share with all those looking for supportive accommodation away from home. Upper Vobster Farm is the family home of Tricia & Michael Nicholson. Today the farm house is surrounded by cottages, a barn and a traditional farm courtyard that people come to enjoy from all around the world.
