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.

Midelney Manor, the west wing is a lovely place to stay and relax. It is a stunning period property brimming with bags of character and charm! The Kitchen was very well equipped, lounge and bedrooms are all large and very comfortable. Particularly the beds, our whole family slept very well. Alice and her family are perfect host ensuring we felt wRead moreelcome. She was also very helpful and on hand if required. Plenty of local information was supplied. Giving us a perfect base for exploring the local area whilst being close to our relatives, who we were visiting. We were blessed with glorious weather for the start of April, which helped our enjoyment exploring this beautiful rural area. We stopped off at The Drayton crown pub on our way back to the property a few times and its definitely worth a visit. We really liked the village of Langport. We took the car a few times (10 minute drive) but also walked in which took about an hour and a half along the river, which our dog particularly loved. All in all a fantastic and enjoyable stay.

If you are in search of relaxation with no disturbance then this is the place to go. Away from the rush of daily life, discard the phone and enjoy the peace and tranquility. A comfortable wing of the Manor House, well equipped for self catering. Alice is the perfect host, on hand if required.

This is an amazing house, full of character. The owners are very welcoming and helpful. It was so relaxing and peaceful yet it was no distance from Langport.
