Pen Mill Cottage, Wincanton
Holiday Home Description
Pen Mill Cottage is adjacent to the River Stour on the border of Somerset, Dorset & Wiltshire which adjoining the National Trust Stourhead Estate. The farm is situated in the most wonderful countryside of Wincanton, although 5 minutes away is the M3/A303 dual carriageway which means that London is only a 2 hour drive and many of England's biggest tourist attractions are within easy reach.
The sunny cottage sleeps 6 (+ a childs bed and 2 cots) and is the perfect 'home from home'. Surprisingly spacious, yet cosy, with large sunny rooms, the cottage is well maintained and fully furnished with all the extras you miss when you go away. The hub of the cottage is the large kitchen/diner with an AGA in spring and autumn and welcoming French doors onto the terrace.
Though we are close to sightseeing at neighbouring Stourhead gardens, Longleat, Bath, Cheddar Gorge, Salisbury, many of our guests rush back to Pen to relax on the terrace overlooking the ponds and waterfalls up the secret valley to the fields which make Pen Mill Cottage one of the most magical holiday homes in Wincanton. After a couple of days sitting on the terrace overlooking the ponds and grazing cattle, sheep and horses, you will feel a new person. The peace and quiet of the farm attracts many unusual birds, deer, badgers and foxes.
Pen Mill Cottage is converted from a traditional stone barn and is completely secluded. It lies adjacent to the former farmyard which is now home to free range hens, horses, sheep and a mass of colourful flowers. There are Castle Milk Morrit sheep which are a rare Scottish breed with coffee colour wool and chocolate faces and legs. Free range chickens which wander everywhere - even the lane! Organic eggs are available and our guests will have eggs to welcome them on arrival.
The farm has been in the family for nearly 50 years and is farmed organically with hedges laid in the traditional style.
The village of Penselwood was a major city of Britain during the 8th century though this is hard to imagine as it is now a rural community with only the sound of animals and owls to keep you awake at night.
All the accommodation at Pen Mill Cottage is on one floor and therefore very suitable for the elderly. Small children enjoy the large terrace and playing on the swing on the old apple tree in the garden and for older children hours of pleasure and amusement can be had damming the stream and searching for wild crayfish or playing table tennis in the Games Room which also has darts and table football.
