Fords Croft Cottages
Fords Croft Cottages offers luxurious self-catering properties, each sleeping two people, set on a 260-acre organic farm of beautiful hills, valleys, and woodlands. Located just a mile and a half from the picture-postcard village of Hinton St George—with its award-winning gastropub—and only half an hour’s drive from the stunning Jurassic Coast, it is an idyllic escape for couples.
Oak Tree Barn
Oak Tree Barn exudes serious wow factor, featuring an impressive double-height living space, exposed beams, and ancient stone arches that draw the eye up to the spacious mezzanine bedroom with a king-size bed. After a day exploring the Jurassic Coast or wandering the countryside, guests can unwind in the nearby Hillside Hot Tub, just steps from the door, and watch the sunset over the hills from their private outdoor seating area. Convenient parking is close by, and a warm welcome awaits with a bottle of wine, fresh flowers, tea and coffee, local biscuits, and soft Egyptian cotton bedding and towels.
The Old Workshop
The Old Workshop is a stunning 18th-century barn conversion, lovingly restored from its former life as the farm’s workshop—and before that, the carter's base for his horses and carts. Traditional techniques such as lime rendering and pointing have preserved its historic charm, while a handmade kitchen and oak floors emphasize its quality. The huge original A-frames frame sweeping views of the countryside, and a private courtyard offers a perfect outdoor retreat. The interior design frequently leaves guests wishing they could move in.
Croft Cottage
Croft Cottage perfectly blends style, character, and luxury to create a beautiful couples’ retreat. The spacious kitchen-diner opens onto stunning views and a private garden complete with a hot tub, fire bowl, and BBQ. Inside, the cosy lounge boasts an inglenook fireplace, original beams, and designer furnishings. Upstairs, a large bedroom offers a freestanding bath overlooking the hills. Guests are welcomed with wine, tea, coffee, local biscuits, and Egyptian cotton bedding with fluffy towels. Please note: Croft Cottage features a steep staircase and is semi-detached.
The Hideaway
The Hideaway is a true hidden gem, a beautifully converted 1800s barn set within organic farmland with breathtaking south-facing views over woodland and fields. Perfect for a romantic escape, it blends boutique hotel luxury with rustic charm. The light-filled, open-plan living space leads to a secluded patio where guests can dine al fresco, soak in the private hot tub, or toast marshmallows by the fire pit under the stars. A footpath directly connects to an award-winning gastropub or meanders through woodlands to Crewkerne, with the Jurassic Coast just a 30-minute drive away.
The Old Workshop
This breathtaking 18th-century barn conversion combines timeless character with contemporary style. Its expansive, double-height living area showcases original elm beams, sawn on the estate over two centuries ago, complemented by chic designer furnishings. A grand oak king-size bed offers sweeping views across the rolling hilltops, while a wood burner provides a cosy spot to unwind after enjoying the Hillside Hot Tub. Guests can relax in a private courtyard featuring a BBQ and outdoor seating, with thoughtful touches such as wine, tea, coffee, local biscuits, and luxuriously soft Egyptian cotton bedding and towels.
Candlestick Cottage
Candlestick Cottage, over 200 years old, is a whitewashed hideaway with breathtaking views and golden sunsets. The spacious, light-filled kitchen leads to a large alfresco dining area, an outdoor kitchen, and a private hot tub. Inside, the cosy lounge invites guests to relax by the open fire amid sumptuous soft furnishings. A romantic bedroom features a roll-top tub and overlooks a large, south-facing garden. Guests enjoy easy access to an award-winning gastropub, an onsite woodland sauna, and are ideally located for day trips to the Jurassic Coast.
Hillside Hot Tub
The Hillside Hot Tub is exclusively available to Fords Croft Cottages guests—unless their cottage features its own private tub—and offers the ultimate relaxing experience with breathtaking views and stunning sunsets. For those seeking the full spa experience, an invigorating outdoor cold shower is also available.
The Barn
The Barn is a beautifully restored 100-year-old building that houses a large open-plan yoga and activity studio with sweeping doors opening onto the Somerset countryside. It features a striking wood-burning stove, a gym for couples’ workouts, a soothing infrared sauna, and a refreshing cold dip pool. Guests can also challenge each other to games of table tennis or pool, enjoy cosy board games, and gather around the fire pit for evening stargazing before retreating to their cottage.
