It is conveniently located between the market towns of Castle Cary (6 miles) and Somerton (8 miles), both of which offer a good selection of shops, cafes and pubs. With the train station just 6 miles away why not catch the train to the vibrant city of Bristol or the historic city of Bath.

Enjoy the lounge area which has a smart TV, and comfy sofas which overlook the garden. On warm sunny days, open the large bi-fold doors to the veranda, making the space even larger. The well equipped kitchen is a great space for cooking delicious home-cooked meals, enjoyed around the dining table. The stunning master bedroom (with zip-and-link bed which can be made as a twin upon request) is complete with French doors opening out onto the veranda providing a wonderful night’s slumber and an absolute delight to wake up in as you step outside to admire the meadow views while sipping your morning coffee. The children will love heading up the ladder to the cozy hideout with two twin beds located on the mezzanine floor. Completing the accommodation is a contemporary bathroom boasting a separate bath and double shower.

What a lovely place to stay, it was so clean and well equipped. Our daughters loved sitting outside and seeing the cows in the field. We will definitely book again.

This is a well equipped, clean and comfortable holiday let. The location is set well into the countryside so it is quiet despite being next to the road. All equipment is of good quality and consequently works well. Well placed to visit the shopping village at Street and Glastonbury. Fast wi-fi and multi-channel tv.

Swallows Rest was a fantastic location for our holiday, tucked nicely away in the countryside but with easy links to plenty of local attractions. The home was very spacious, light, warm and cosy and was the perfect home for our holiday. Very clean and tidy, the house had a large open plan kitchen and lounge, with breakfast bar seating, and came equRead moreipped with plenty of board games which was great fun. The bedroom was spacious and very comfy. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again Hide

Swallows Rest is an amazing place to stay. It looks and feels modern and very stylish. The inside is kitted out to a very high standard and has everything you need. Suitable for both couples or a family of four, our daughter loved sleeping up high on the mezzanine floor. Plenty of outside space for children to play with cows and a couple of friendlRead morey donkeys in the field behind. The veranda has patio furniture for eating and drinking in the evening whilst enjoying the sunset. Highly recommend. Hide

A very comfortable stay in a rural setting. Modern facilities, good wi-fi and smart tvs for those evenings you dont want to venture out. Enjoyed seeing the variety of the animal neighbours in the rear paddock. Excellent food pub in the village.
