Inside

Firstly, you need to choose which exquisite hideaway you’d love to stay in. With five sublime cottages to choose from, all sleeping 2 with the exception of Candlestick which sleeps 4, you are spoilt for choice!

Croft Cottage effortlessly combines style and luxury all into one. Snuggle down on the sofa and enjoy the warmth from the log burner in the inglenook fireplace and cook up a delicious meal in the spacious kitchen-diner. When it comes to bedtime, take a soak in the freestanding roll top bath and then hop into your king size bed.

Oak Tree Barn features light and airy open plan accommodation, with high ceilings, exposed beams and preserved features from the bygone era.

The Old Workshop is similarly styled, in here you can really appreciate the scale and grandeur of this beautiful barn conversion.

The Hideaway is a truly delightful, hidden gem. You could be fooled that you’re in a boutique hotel in this handsome retreat. After a busy day of doing nothing, slip into the roll top bath, light the log burner and relax with a glass of bubbly.

Lastly, the impeccable Candlestick Cottage concludes the accommodation on offer at Fords Croft Cottages. This classy abode is perhaps one of our favourites! Enjoy creating a culinary masterpiece in the bright kitchen. Then, pop on a film or enjoy watching the crackling open fire. Take a soak in the fabulous grey roll top bath in the bedroom, before sinking under the sheets in the kingsize bed.

Outside

For the lovers of freedom and being outside, the gardens at Fords Croft Cottages don’t disappoint. Enjoy a morning coffee from your tranquil patio area or dine alfresco during those balmy months. A dip in a hot tub may seem unnecessary, especially if you are staying in a cottage with a freestanding roll top bath. However, every detail has been thought of here, and guests can enjoy a dip in their own private wood fired hot tub or have a session in the Hillside Hot Tub. Watch the sunrise or sunset from the tub and soak up the panoramic views of the Somerset countryside. Guests also have access to The Barn. A communal area which features a gym, sauna with cold plunge and games including table tennis and pool table.
