The perfect rural retreat - self catering in luxury. The farmhouse and cottages are tucked into the lower end of a lush valley, surounded by the Stourhead estate and the FitzGerald's own 150 acre farm, ponds, sheep, horses and hens. Children will love it here, nature lovers too.

Pen Mill Cottage is converted from a traditional stone barn and lies adjacent to the former farmyard which is now home to free range chicken and horses - not to mention the black and honey coloured sheep who have lawn mowing duties in the valley bottom. The terrace with views up the valley is perfect for all ages and many guests find it hard to tear themselves away from the peaceful garden where deer, badgers and foxes are regular visitors. The sunny cottage is ideal for the elderly who may not want to climb stairs. There is a Games Room for children with table tennis, table football, stilts, darts and swing ball and the stream can provide hours of amusement damming the water or catching crayfish. Guests are welcome to walk over the farm and suggested routes are printed out - the 15 minute walk across fields to The White Lion is particuarly popular!

The cottage is light, spacious and freshly decorated. There is a large kitchen/diner with a 4-door AGA, seating for 8 round a pine kitchen table, dishwasher and a French door to the terrace. The sitting room has an open log fire and two comfortable sofas and two extra armchairs which provide comfy viewing for the tv which has a digibox and dvd. There are two double bedrooms, one of which has an additional childs' bed and a spacious twin bedroom (also 2 cots). We have two bathrooms - one with a bath and the other has a shower.

The owners live in the farmhouse across the road and are always delighted to help with sightseeing plans. The area is very unspoilt yet has good commucation by M3/A303 to London in less than 2 hours and to the north via the M5.We are adjacent to the National Trust Stourhead estate and Longleat which is always popular with our visitors is only 15 minutes away. Stonehenge, Salisbury, Cheddar Gorge, the Fleet Air Arm Museum and Bath are also within very easy reach and are well worth visiting. This area is famous for the lovely gardens - Stourhead, Stourton House and Chiff Chaffs (RHS) are within 1 mile and Sherborne, Mapperton, Forde Abbey, East Lambrook Manor and Montacute can be easily reached.

However, though we are so near to so many famous sights, many of our visitors find it hard to tear themselves away from our sunny terrace with views up the secret valley and the wildlife. We can also recommend the Street Shopping Village for those who recommend retail theropy.
