Bring your furry friends for a taste of refined country living in this handsome farmhouse, ideal for large groups of friends or multi-generational families. Walk straight from the door or head to the beach, before returning to your outdoor swimming pool and choice of social spaces where you and your pups can relax.

This substantial property blends period charm with a versatile and practical layout. Hang leads in the boot room before heading into the charming kitchen, which is centred around an Aga and a breakfast table for informal meals. The utility room houses laundry facilities and shelves of cookbooks. Two steps up, a comfortable lounge with a Smart TV and ornamental fireplace opens to the garden via French doors, perfect for mutts who like to run in and out. Alternatively, the delightful garden room has a vaulted ceiling, a wood burner, Smart TV and further French doors to the outside. The dining room, meanwhile, sets the scene for very special meals around the antique table, and includes an open fire. Completing the ground floor are a double bedroom and handy WC. Upstairs are four further bedrooms: two king-size with en-suite bathrooms, plus a double and twin sharing a family shower room. The enclosed garden, great for dogs who love to run, features an outdoor pool (heated May to September) and a patio with seating and fire pit from which there are glorious views. The spacious parking area close to the house has room for up to six cars.

The house is located between the cathedral city of Wells and the market town of Wedmore, just 6 miles from Glastonbury Tor, perfect for an exhilarating climb and stupendous views.

This is a truly beautiful property- even more stunning than the photographs! The pool was fabulous, the views gorgeous and there was so much space!! We were 5 couples with 6 toddlers/babies and we had plenty of room! We werent blessed with great weather during our visit so we spent a lot of time inside but never felt on top of each other- just doRead morewnstairs there was a sun room, cosy living room, huge dining room and kitchen to hang out in. We plan to book again for next year and hope to be more lucky with the weather so we can spend more time outside- the garden is wonderful and well equipped with a bbq, big dining table, fire pit and of course the swimming pool. Highly recommend this place for groups of friends and families who want to spend time together but have their own space to retreat to. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at Rookery Farmhouse, so much so we didnt want to leave! Everything was perfect for our family and such beautiful views across to Glastonbury Tor. We would recommend staying here and to have a pool was such a bonus. We would love to go back one day.

Rookery Farmhouse was everything our group could have wished for, and more! Amazing location with incredible views, a lovely garden and pool, loads of parking, comfy rooms and a huge table for group dinners. We couldn't believe our luck and will be coming again for sure!
