About this house rental

Our beautiful four-bedroom cottage stands beside the entrance to Stourhead Gardens, owned by the National Trust.

Built in the 18th century, the cottage is the largest in a terrace of three, which look across the green to the lovely historic church of St Peter.

It is available for holiday rental for the first time and offers spacious self-catering accommodation for eight.

There are four double bedrooms, one of which has twin beds. Two rooms have ensuite bathrooms, complemented by a third family bathroom.

Downstairs the accommodation consists of a fine sitting room and a separate dining room, both with views across the green, a well-equipped kitchen, cloakroom and utility room.
There is a dishwasher, a washing machine and a dryer. To the rear is a small garden with a pretty courtyard.

The cottage’s unique situation offers guests the opportunity to explore Stourhead’s stunning lakeside gardens in the early morning and evening when the crowds have gone.

Stourton village is surrounded by many miles of open, downland countryside and woodland, cris-crossed by footpaths and bridleways, making it the perfect centre for exploring one of Britain’s loveliest areas.

The extraordinary garden project, The Newt in Somerset, is just a 20 minute drive away.
Stonehenge is less than half an hour by car, and Dorset’s Jurassic Coast around an hour away.

A lovely cottage which is more like a large house than a cottage.A stunningly beautiful spot next to the entrance to Stourhead Gardens - National Trust.The photos are deceptive in that the cottage is so much bigger than it looks in the photos. There were 6 adults and we fitted into the cottage easily.Easy to find and incredibly easy to check in.Sally, the owner, is incredibly helpful and very communicative (Thank you Sally)It was peaceful and quiet especially sitting in the garden.The cottage is well equipped and plenty of instructions for cooker, dishwasher etc.It was such a joy to stay in a very interesting and, clearly very loved, old cottage.The location right next to Stourhead was unbelievable and a lovely farmshop just up the hill. Overall we enjoyed an incredible stay and will definitely return.Thank you again Sally.
