Wreath Farmhouse is the perfect home from home for you to enjoy a getaway in the delightful Somerset countryside.
The fabulous garden-room makes a lovely dining-room. The double doors to the right lead into the main sitting-room.
The wonderful farmhouse kitchen with island, breakfast-bar, breakfast-table and flagstone floors.
This is the gracious main sitting-room. Double doors lead into the garden-room.
Step out from the dining-area onto the terrace that has some glorious views!
The pretty garden even in the autumn!
This is the front face of the farmhouse. Parking is in the courtyard behind the house and the gardens spread out to the south.
The garden-room links from the spacious kitchen and to the main sitting-room - and of course to the patio and the extensive garden. There are lovely open views to the south.
This lovely double bedroom also has a rural outlook and a second window to the courtyard at the back of the farmhouse.
The second window looks over the courtyard and brings extra light into this calm bedroom space.
The en suite for this bedroom.
This is another view of the main sitting-room, a truly relaxing space for all the family.

The garden-room is an ideal dining space with plenty of light during the day, the stars at night and wonderful country views.
There is so much space throughout Wreath Farmhouse for friends and family to enjoy.
Grab a book and snuggle up.
The traditional front entrance hall. The stairs lead to three of the four bedrooms.
A couple of steps lead up from the kitchen to the utility-room, the second staircase (to the master bedroom) and the door to the 'engine room' of the farmhouse - the bio mass boiler room. Beyond that room is a locked link door to the owners home.
On those sunny days open up the bi-folds and enjoy the sunshine.
All the rooms are en suite but this bedroom even has its own staircase! This room has dual-aspect windows, with the second window looking over the farmstead.
What a lovely room to relax in.
The private staircase can been seen here - this room is also accessible via the adjoining bedroom which can be set as a twin or a king-size room. Ideal maybe as a family suite.

Another view of this bedroom - with far reaching rural views.
This bedroom has a spacious contemporary shower-room. When the window is open it looks out over the gardens.

Wreath Farmhouse in its wonderful setting with extensive south-facing gardens and a garden-room.
In typical countryside fashion please use the boot room door which opens into the courtyard.
This is the amazing garden. Beyond it is a natural marsh and woodland area (private) so you will be able to sit in your garden and watch the comings and goings of the local wildlife.
Al fresco dining at its finest!
There is plenty of space for guests to explore in the garden.
The driveway sweeps round to the left into the courtyard where you will find the parking for the farmhouse.
Here you can see the games-room opposite the boot room door. This is shared with the neighbouring cottages - The Cowshed and The Apple Press.
Just over the border into Dorset, this is the famous Golden Cap, with Lyme Regis in the background.
Budleigh Salterton is another east Devon coastal town. Totally unspoilt and never over crowded.
The east Devon and Dorset Jurassic Coast is spectacular. This is Sidmouth. A lovely Regency seaside town - with a world famous Folk Festival each year. There is plenty of sand at low tide.
Wreath Farm is in a great area of south Somerset, close to the borders of east Devon and Dorset and the spectacular Jurassic Coast. Famous Lyme Regis is just 10 miles away. A wonderful outing for all the family.
Wreath Farmhouse has a calm feeling throughout so you will be sure to be able to relax.
The thoughtful interiors are complemented by the soft furnishings.
The owners live in the single-storey property attached to the Farmhouse - it can be seen to the right of this photo. There is a locked internal door between the two properties.

Nearby pub
Here you'll find a traditional village pub with a selection of local and traditional ales alongside a pub grub menu. With a skittle alley, pool table and darts, there's something for everyone here.
Nearby beach
Charmouth West Beach runs the mile and a half from the mouth of the river Char all the way to Lyme Regis. Although hammering at the cliffs is not allowed, the shores of Charmouth West Beach are well known for their fossils and often keen-eyed visitors are rewarded with a treat. With the gentle slope of the beach and natural sea pools forming in certain conditions the beach lends itself nicely to paddling and swimming. A heritage centre, cafe and shops are nearby, although there are no lifeguards on duty.

Charmouth beach
Lovely not too busy beach, such fun finding fossils, beautiful sand when the tide is out, and great rock pools
July 2017
Lovely beach, brilliant for fossil hunting
January 2010
Take a fossil hunting guided walk or boat trip. No sand but plenty to keep the kids amused.
November 2009
The hours seem to have a habit of slipping by while you're wandering along hunting for fossils on this stretch of coast. The kids love the excitement of finding an ammonite or debating the authenticity of possible 'dinosaur bones'. Great way to spend an afternoon.
Nearby walk
Monthly walks are arranged by locals who ask for volunteers to help with clearing overgrown footpaths whilst enjoying the scenery. Take a look at the chaffcome.com website for details of walks in the area.
Nearby town
Surrounded by rich farming countryside, Chard is a classic Somerset market town with a distinct sense of history. Nearby attractions include the breathtaking Forde Abbey, a medieval masterpiece imbued with over 900 years of history and with 30 acres of stunning gardens.

Gardens
House closed because of Covid but the gardens are lovely. Don’t miss the fountain - a must see!
July 2018
A lovely place to visit.
We’ve just had a very pleasant few hours at Forde Abbey on a scorching hot day. The house is very interesting to walk around and the gardens are beautiful, it’s worth waiting to see the fountain, especially if you stand downwind of it on such a hot day.
The ginger cake in the cafe was a great way to end our visit.

A place to unwind
We visited these delightful gardens as part of a circular walk from Thorncombe village. It was the perfect place for a leisurely lunch followed by a stroll around the gardens before continuing on our way. The highlight of the day.
July 2011
Well worth a visit
We really loved the gardens and the interior. It was the highlight of our week. We spent several hours there and felt there was plenty to see both in the house and gardens. The tearoom provides excellent lunches for those who want to make a day of it.

Stately home and splendid gardens
Fascinating former abbey dating back to 12thC. One of the greatest Westcountry gardens (according to Alan Titchmarsh), plant sales and a good restaurant serving really local food from the estate. A good day's outing.
A traditional country pub offering a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Food is locally sourced and Sunday lunch is very popular. In summer, dine alfresco and enjoy the views from the raised terrace and beer garden.

Lunch
A fascinating pub tucked away in the countryside with the best food I have tasted in ages.

Amazing Sunday Roast
We came here for Sunday lunch which was the best roast I’ve had in a while! Great portion, good quality meat and a lovely selection of vegetables. Staff were really friendly from the start when we booked over the phone until it was sadly time to leave.
A dog friendly pub In the middle of no where but well worth the drive. Would highly recommend.

The Cotley Inn
Fabulous Sunday lunch, also good mid week menu. Food is locally sourced where possible, but this is very popular place to eat so best to book, for Sunday lunch you would definitely need to. Nice staff and atmosphere too.
Home cooked food is a speciality here with Sunday roasts being a favourite. There's a play area, large garden and decking with views over the countryside. Dogs are welcome.

Excellent pub food and congenial hosts
We enjoying two visits to the Hare and Hounds during our recent holiday. Both times we had excellent pub meals in good surroundings and was well looked after by the hosts. Many thanks
A traditional village pub with warming real fires in winter and a beer garden for the summer months. Here you'll find a varied menu, excellently cooked and beautifully presented. There's a good wine choice and service is friendly and efficient. You'll also find a skittle alley for family entertainment. The pub has limited opening times so you may wish to check with them before planning a visit. Bookings are advisable particularly on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

A lovely welcoming pub with excellent food, great beer and a good choice on the menu. We felt really at home. Good luck for the future.

Basic village pub
We were disappointed as we thought from previous reviews that this would be a saviour but the food was of lower standards to our expectations. We left most of it.

Cider convert
I don't usually like cider but Perry's is so tasty I bought some to bring home as well! We had a summer afternoon in the orchard with cider and pizza. The farm shop is great and everyone working there is really friendly.

I bought a barrel...
A tiny Somerset hamlet called Dowlish Wake is home to this traditional cider making centre. Tempting samples from the barrels are a must before you decide on which variety to take home. I am afraid it had to be a gallon for us and even more unfortunate – it is within easy reach of home for return trips to refill the container ! There is a shop, café and all things apple making museum here too. This place feels like a step back in time, even down to crossing the ford from the orchard parking area !
