Grooms Cottage and The Pony Barn, Kilve, Bridgwater, Somerset

Nestled within Somerset's picturesque Quantock Hills, Pardlestone Farm offers a tranquil escape with two self-catering cottages, accommodating up to four guests each. Situated in southern England's pristine wilderness, the farm provides immediate access to the lesser-known yet easily accessible beauty of the Quantocks.

Guests can explore the Jurassic coastline, within walking distance, and enjoy the hospitality of an award-winning, dog-friendly pub. The farm welcomes dogs, with facilities like stabling and turnout available for guests' horses. Keen walkers, horse riders, and mountain bikers can venture off-road or visit nearby villages, pubs, and cafés along their routes, retracing the steps of poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William, and Dorothy Wordsworth.

The newly converted Pony Barn, with exposed beams and underfloor heating, offers stylish accommodation for two, extendable to four using a sofa bed. Groom’s Cottage, adjacent to Pardlestone Farm, features two double bedrooms, an open-plan layout, and well-equipped amenities.

For larger groups, Pardlestone Farm provides B&B accommodation in addition to the cottages. Guests can enjoy a full English breakfast, use communal spaces, and explore the gardens. Groom’s Cottage can be opened up to connect with the main farmhouse for larger groups, accommodating up to 12 people. The farm also offers eight loose boxes for visitors' horses.

Kilve, the nearby village, serves as an ideal base to explore West Somerset's unexpected beauty. The Quantock Hills, designated a National Landscape, boast unspoiled wilderness with diverse wildlife. Kilve Beach, under two miles away, features Jurassic cliffs and fossil-rich beds of international geological importance.

A short drive from Pardlestone Farm, Dunster Castle and the West Somerset Railway offer additional attractions. The heritage railway, the longest in England, runs alongside the Quantock Hills, providing a scenic journey to the coast and Minehead. Discover the charm of Kilve and the surrounding Somerset landscapes at Pardlestone Farm.
