Pennard Hill Farm Estate: Shepton Mallet, England
Property
A lush and lovely working farm and bed and breakfast in rural Somerset. While TSM strives to avoid hyperbole whenever possible, this place is practically perfect.
Location
90 easy miles southeast of Heathrow, in the hills of ridiculously historic Somerset county. Rent a car (you can do it) and enjoy day trips to the stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury. Wells and Glastonbury (rich in Arthurian and Holy Grail legend) are nearby, as are Bath (with its eye-popping Regency architecture, Jane Austen history, and Roman ruins), Lacock Abbey (watch for film crews) and Castle Coombe (a Cotswold gem).
Sleeps 4-6 in the larger units (futons and cribs available in all units).
Highlights
Pony rides, lamb feeding, dogs, cats, chickens, indoor heated pool, DVD’s, fishing, bicycles, toys, rambling, day trips, room service, all in lavish yet childproof surroundings.
