A converted stable on a peaceful farm surrounded by acres of countryside but within striking distance of Sherborne and good NT gardens

You're near to the pretty old farmhouse where Luke's family live and next to a magnificent Somerset cider barn, but once inside you'll feel very independent. Your private terrace overlooks nobody and has a covered eating area with a big wooden table, some colourful pots and neatly clipped hedges. Then there's a large paddock, all yours, for games or picnics under the shade of the fruit trees - apple, cherry and crabapple - gorgeous in spring.

On chilly days, underfloor heating and an electric wood-burner will keep you cosy and there's plenty of comfy seating for watching a film, reading a book or playing games. Cooking is sociable in the open-plan space and there's another big table in the kitchen area. You'll find all the basics plus biscuits and if you prefer not to do your own breakfast, Celia can drop off a continental with fresh croissants.

Walk to a good pub, join a farm footpath or just settle in and unwind.

Local points of interest from Luke Simon:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Luke Simon:

  • There are National Trust properties aplenty within a 30 minute drive of The Tallet: Montacute House, Tintinhull House, Barrington Court, Lytes Cary Manor and Hadspen House newly renovated as The Newt is certainly worth a visit for its gardens and grounds.
  • The historic town of Glastonbury, famous for its iconic Tor is only a 30 minute drive away. Whilst there, visit Clarks Village for some retail therapy or drive on to Cheddar Gorge for its impressive cliff faces and caves.
  • Visit the Somerset Levels, ideal for bird watching particularly the starling murmurations in the Autumn and visit the numerous craft centres that specialise in willow creations.
  • The famous Jurassic coastline is just 25 miles south of The Tallet. Enjoy a day fossil hunting, walk the south west coast path or take in a boat trip to do a spot of mackerel fishing. Choose your preference of beach from Lulworth Cove to Lyme Regis.
  • The Tallet is equidistant between the fabulous cities of Bath, Bristol and Exeter. Visit their historical attractions including the Roman Baths and The Royal Crescent in Bath, the cathedral of Exeter and the incredible engineering of Brunel in Bristol.
  • The Tallet is part of Home Farm, the home of the School in a Bag charity. Learn more about their life changing work, set up in the wake of losing my son in the Indian Ocean Tsunami and pack your own SchoolBag for a deserving child around the world.
