This historic cider-making property welcomes overnight guests to a peaceful, pastoral setting spanning two centuries of family tradition in Somerset. The expansive orchard and working farm provide a serene backdrop for a restorative stopover, with firm, level parking positioned well away from the road. Guests enjoy the company of friendly farm animals—donkeys, goats, ducks, and other wildlife—that roam the grounds and add to the countryside charm. The on-site shop, café, restaurant, and bar offer excellent value and quality. The farm shop stocks fresh cakes, cheeses, chutneys, and a diverse selection of ciders produced directly on the property, ranging from full-strength to low-alcohol varieties. The café and restaurant serve well-prepared meals, with breakfast particularly praised by guests, and the bar provides a welcoming space to sample the house ciders. A heritage museum and guided orchard tours (available seasonally) offer visitors insight into the property's rich history and operations. The knowledgeable, friendly staff enhance the experience with warm hospitality and efficient communication. Whether exploring the expansive orchards at dusk, browsing the farm shop, or simply relaxing in the quiet parking area, guests find this location an ideal destination for a peaceful overnight stay.
