Surrounded by formal gardens and situated on the banks of the River Ding close to the peaceful town of Ilminster, sits this majestic eight-bedroom property. Gather 16 family members or friends and two waggy-tailed pals and enjoy a unique holiday getaway.

Built in 1850 and brimming with elegant features and stylish decor, this property has plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. On the ground floor, a sweeping corridor leads through to three grand lounges with each space adorned with comfortable sofas, wood burners, and heavy drapes. Enjoy chat and nibbles in the formal oak-panelled lounge or relax in the TV lounge with Fido at your feet. When mealtimes beckon, step through to the light-drenched dining room and enjoy a feast at the table seating 16 people. When the weather is good, you’ll want to push open the bi-fold doors and let Fido roam around the garden while you enjoy dinner. The well-equipped kitchen features an Aga for creating hearty meals while the second, smaller kitchen is perfect for quick bites to eat. After a long day, retire to the elegant bedroom on the ground floor or head upstairs to one of the seven sumptuous bedrooms. All the bedrooms are beautifully presented and feature a mix of super-king, king-size, and twin beds. Outside there is so much space you and your four-pawed friend won’t know where to put yourselves first. Enjoy the tennis court, boules pit, and croquet and let Fido explore the field and wooded area. After a busy day, unwind in the hot tub, swap stories around the fire pit, or dine in style on the terrace.

The small town of Ilminster is 3 miles away and has a selection of independent shops, dog-friendly eateries, and walking routes including the Stop Line Way to Chard (5 miles). Also worth a visit is Barrington Court (6 miles). While you explore the Tudor manor house your pup can sniff out new scents in the parkland. Alternatively, head to Charmouth (18 miles) and enjoy a lazy day on the beach.

A lovely property in a quiet village location. Lots of space. Three lounges, though we only used the largest which comfortably seated the 11 of us. The large dining table in the conservatory was great, just remember to put the heating on before you use it. The beds were comfortable, the bedrooms being quite varied with dark and light colour schemesRead more. The standard of decoration was high. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the large car park was great Hide
