Self-catering farmhouse cottage: spacious farmhouse situated in South Somerset, between Ilminster and Taunton, and available for self-catering family holidays and short breaks throughout the year. Sleeping 7 guests plus a baby in comfort, the comfortably decorated house provides a wonderful homely feel with good facilities. The house is set in its own land, surrounded by gardens, a paddock, and fields usually grazed by cows and calves, and makes a fantastic base for a relaxing vacation.

The house is also equipped to cater for the elderly and disabled, with a stair-lift, ceiling track for a hoist in the downstairs toilet (please enquire for more details about this facility), grab rails near the toilets and "wet shower-room" facilities downstairs and up. Outside, there is ramp access to the house and road.

Even though Myrtle House is no longer an active farm, the fields behind the house continue to be used by a local farmer to graze cows and calves. With livestock so near the house, we very much regret that we have a "no pets" rule with our guests. Cricket in the garden, in the shade of a tree.
