Yeomans Cottage

Crewkerne sits in the heart of Somerset, within reach of some of England's most distinctive attractions. The Muddled Man Inn lies within a mile, and the town itself has shops and amenities on the doorstep. Yeomans Cottage, a Grade II listed terraced house dating to 1490, offers a self-contained base for a small family or friends wanting to explore the county without the commute from a larger town.

Two bedrooms—one double and one single—and a bathroom make up the first floor. Downstairs, a living and dining room with an open fire looks onto a small enclosed courtyard with patio and garden furniture. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking; heating, electricity, wi-fi and bed linen are all included, so you arrive to a ready home rather than a list of tasks. One well-behaved dog stays free. The cottage is non-smoking.

From here, Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Glastonbury Tor and Bath are all within driving distance. The Mendip Hills offer walking country, and Longleat House and Safari Park is another option for a day out. Whether you're using the place as a quiet retreat or a jumping-off point for exploring, the location gives you choice.
