Nestled in the tranquil village of Batcombe near Bruton, Somerset, Greenhills Cottage is a charming semi-detached period home offering the perfect countryside escape. Set opposite the picturesque village church, this beautifully styled retreat combines traditional character with tasteful contemporary touches, making it an inviting, dog-friendly getaway for families or groups of up to five guests.

Upstairs, you’ll find three thoughtfully designed bedrooms—two doubles and a single—alongside a well-appointed bathroom with a full-size bath for leisurely soaks.
