Property code: 75576

Surrounded by the beautiful open countryside of the Somerset Levels, the west wing is part of a striking sixteenth century manor house that is grade I listed. Set in an idyllic and peaceful spot, this is the perfect base from which to explore nearby Langport, which offers a good selection of shops, pubs and cafes. For lovers of the outdoors there are endless networks of walks and cycle routes leading from the property, with a choice of country pubs within easy reach. The hamlet of Muchelney, home to historic Muchelney Abbey is well worth a visit too and is cared for by English Heritage. Lovers of history can also explore several National Trust Estates including Barrington Court and Lytes Carey. For the golfers, there is a pay-as-you-play golf course just 10 minutes away in Long Sutton.

From the parking area a short flight of steps leads you to the private entrance into the West Wing of Midelney Manor. From here you are met with a hallway leading firstly to a utility room complete with WC and washing machine on the left. Heading to the right you will find a charming open plan kitchen/diner. This room is the perfect space in which to enjoy leisurely meals together. The kitchen area is well equipped with an electric range style cooker, dishwasher, microwave and American style fridge/freezer. Next is the inviting lounge, which has a beautiful inglenook fireplace and an abundance of character features. With space to stretch out, why not relax with a good book in front of the wood burner. A small inner hallway leads to the staircase, rising to the first floor. A contemporary shower room is to your right, which has a separate shower and a WC. Next are two striking king-size bedrooms, a separate WC and a bathroom with separate shower and WC. Due to the age of the property there are low beams and doorways peppered throughout, which only adds to its character and charm. A further flight of stairs leads to the second floor and a double bedroom with an interlinking single bedroom (which can be used for a seventh guest), both set into the eaves.

Heading back downstairs and out through the main entrance door you will find a private courtyard, which is accessed across the driveway. This charming space is fully enclosed and has a table and chairs, making it the ideal spot to relax with your morning coffee. Leading on from here is a pretty cottage style walled garden. To the side of the property is an off-road parking area suitable for two vehicles within a shared working stable yard.

This property is amazing! Alice made us feel so welcome. On arrival we had a fire lit and the house was cozy throughout our stay with radiators in all rooms. All rooms are a treat to be in. Seeing all the history of the property whilst being so comfortable is a rare thing and this stay really delivered. I was so sad to leave. Highly recommended.

Midelney Manor is a great vacation place. The house has much character and makes you really feel at home. Our children loved the big garden. The house is equipped with everything you need and offers lots of space. Alice is a fabulous host, very helpful and has the best tips for walks, restaurants... We certainly recommend staying at her place.
