Nestling in a sheltered and peaceful valley beside a tree lined mill pond this delightful cluster of cottages stands in six acres of superbly landscaped grounds. Perfectly placed for a quiet restful holiday they make an equally ideal touring base with all of lovely Somerset and much of nearby Dorset easily accessible. Grouped around an original water mill dating back to 1782 and now lovingly restored to its former glory the cottages are built from natural hamstone and furnished and equipped to very comfortable standards. The beautiful grounds including marsh gardens meadows and a fine orchard are a year-round delight. A host of rare and interesting mature trees shrubs and plants are interlaced by grass covered paths which weave through the gardens leading to sleepy corners ornamental ponds and a lovely gazebo. The pretty banks of the main mill pond are a haven for a variety of wildfowl.
