Rose Cottage - Muchelney

Rose Cottage - Muchelney stands in Thorney, near Langport, inside its own gated grounds set back from the road. The owner's dogs, children and the occasional chicken may wander over to say hello. Pubs and shops are 2.5 miles away.

The ground floor holds an open-plan kitchen and lounge with a wood burner (the first basket of logs is supplied) and a Smart TV, plus a garden room with a dining table. The kitchen has a dishwasher and a washing machine. The king-size bedroom is downstairs with an en-suite shower room; there is also a separate WC. The second bedroom is on a mezzanine above the lounge, built into the eaves with low sloping ceilings, and has a double and a single bed. A stairgate guards the foot of the stairs to the mezzanine. The cottage is booked for 4.

The rear garden is private and fully enclosed, with a patio, a lawn, a picnic bench, a barbecue with the first bag of charcoal and a fire pit. A wood-fired hot tub comes with a starter pack, and more logs can be bought from the owner. Private parking is at the property. Up to 4 dogs are allowed, though additional charges may apply, and they are not permitted on the furniture, the beds or upstairs. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out before 10:00. It suits a family or two couples who want a hot tub and an enclosed garden.
