Garden Cottage, Rode Farm

About this property

Garden Cottage, Rode Farm sits within the tranquil grounds of the owner’s dairy farm, on the outskirts of Rode. Set over one floor, this character barn conversion is well-equipped for families seeking a countryside escape to Somerset. Be welcomed into the open-plan living area, a social spot to gather after a long day; here you can whip up a hearty feast in the kitchen, with an electric oven, hob, microwave and dishwasher in assistance. Gather round the dining table for a family feast before heading out to the garden furniture and enjoy a drink amidst the last of the summer sun.

When the weather’s not in your favour, curl up beside the woodburning stove and choose a film from the Smart TV. As you look to catch some rest, discover the master bedroom, housing a king-size bed with an en-suite bath and hand-held shower, so you can best decide how to prepare for the day. The second bedroom offers a twin with an en-suite shower and a view of the garden and fields. The property is surrounded by idyllic farmland of a dairy farm and luscious fields where horses are trained, perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life with their other half.

Venture into the village of Rode where you can sample fabulous cakes in the local cafe and there is also a welcoming pub if you fancy a night away from the kitchen. A short drive away is the warm village of Beckington which offers two traditional pubs and the much‑loved Mes Amis café, where everything is freshly made in‑house for eat‑in or takeaway. You’ll also find a great farm shop with fish and chips, a cosy café, and a charming gift shop. On the outskirts, there’s a 24‑hour M&S Foodhall with a garage and a convenient Starbucks. Also a short distance away is the historic town of Frome, known for its beautiful listed buildings, cobbled streets, artisan shops, and fantastic choice of places to eat.

For further amenities, head to the vibrant town of Bradford-on-Avon, boasting a lively choice of shopping facilities, gastro pubs, trendy restaurants and delightful footpaths for walking and cycling, particularly along the beautiful River Avon. While in the area, be sure to visit the heritage city of Bath, packed with places to eat and drink, thermal spas and some of the finest independent shops in Britain. If adventure takes you further afield, the attractions of the Cheddar Gorge, Avebury, Stonehenge, the renowned festival town of Glastonbury, Lacock, Bristol city centre, and the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty can be added to your to-do list.

With plenty to look forward to, a getaway at Garden Cottage, Rode Farm promises to be one to remember.
