Lisa was a great host and gave us some great tips on what to see and where to eat in the area. The cottage was very comfortable and easily accommodated 5 of us. The breakfast items that Lisa stocked for the first day was a really nice touch.

About the property Three double bedrooms (one with twin-beds and one on the ground floor), each with either en-suite, adjacent bathroom or shower facilities. South-facing kitchen and open plan living and dining area with French doors to exterior; downstairs WC. Ample parking, picnic bench and own area of garden. Welcome On arrival guests will find: othe fridge stocked with a few essentials: milk, bread and butter othe makings of a simple English breakfast, such as bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms – and of course our own hens’ new laid eggs oa cupboard with individual cereals, condiments, a small selection of herbs, spices and sauces, marmalade and locally-made jam So no need to shop on the way! Plenty of time for that when you start to explore pretty towns and villages nearby. Meanwhile relax and unwind! About the area Tintinhull is a popular and beautiful ham stone Somerset village with the benefits of a lovely coffee shop, its own National Trust property as well as several others within a few miles and, at The Hub as you turn off the A303, the recent addition of Somer Thyme restaurant. In summer the village benefits from an open-air pool. Easy to find, Tintinhull is just off the A303, the route to Devon and Cornwall. Here, you and your family and friends can find peace and tranquillity, while being a short distance from some of Dorset and Somerset’s pretty market towns. A little further afield lie the attractions of Bath and Bristol, mysterious Stonehenge, the West Somerset Steam Railway, Exmoor National Park, and coastline to the north and south. The area also benefits from good train and coach links to London.
Built as a farmhouse in 1926, High House was attached to a much older building, an 18th century dairy, which remained in use until the 1960s, when it was refashioned as a garage to house an increasing number of motor cars. In the 1980s new owners wanted more space for their growing family so the garage was incorporated into the house providing a children's sitting-room, pantry, larder and laundry, with hayloft above and extra bedrooms. Lisa and Fred, who arrived in 2015, were keen to recapture the essence of the barn it once was, revealing ham stone pillars and old elm beams that lay beneath late 20th century modernity, adding windows and doors and a few 21st century comforts. Today the old pantry forms the kitchen of The Dairy, the laundry became a downstairs bedroom, whilst a staircase leads up to the old loft, now the master bedroom. Although farmland and outbuildings were sold for redevelopment many years ago, and today the owners have full-time jobs, a hint of rural lifestyle lingers; sheep graze the field and hens roam freely in the garden. At dawn the cockerel might be just too far away to wake you.
