Chestnut Lodge

This one-bedroom lodge is set on a working farm in the heart of Somerset, offering couples a peaceful countryside escape with far-reaching views across the surrounding farmland. Nestled within the New Oaks Farm Lodges development and just 7 miles from Glastonbury, it provides a relaxing base from which to explore the county's charming market towns, historic attractions and rural landscapes. The historic city of Wells, renowned for its magnificent cathedral and regular outdoor markets, is 15 miles away, while the famous Wookey Hole Caves are 17 miles from the property. Golfers can enjoy a round at Wheathill Golf Club (2 miles), which features an 18-hole course and driving range open to visitors. Traditional Somerset pubs, including The Quarry Inn and Cross Keys Inn, can be found nearby, while attractions such as the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Haynes Motor Museum, Clarks Village shopping outlet and Harry's Cider Farm are all within easy driving distance.

Inside, the lodge offers comfortable open-plan living, designed with relaxation in mind. The bright lounge area enjoys views across the countryside and opens onto the patio through French doors, creating a light and welcoming space throughout the day. A Bluetooth sound system and Wi-Fi are provided, while the adjoining galley-style kitchen is equipped with a built-in dishwasher and everything needed for preparing meals during your stay. The king-size bedroom provides a luxurious and romantic retreat, complete with a Freeview TV and DVD player. Adding a touch of indulgence, a freestanding bath is positioned within the bedroom itself, ideal for long soaks after a day exploring Somerset. Directly off the bedroom is a spacious en-suite featuring a walk-in shower, double sinks and a WC.

Outside, an enclosed patio garden is furnished for outdoor dining and relaxation while taking in views over the surrounding farmland. A private outdoor hot tub offers the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the peaceful rural setting. Guests can purchase farm produce and locally made Cheddar cheese on site, and guided animal feeding sessions are available on selected afternoons at no extra charge, providing an enjoyable glimpse into life on the working farm. A charcoal BBQ can be hired for an additional charge, and private parking is available for two cars.
