About this property

Bluebird Cottage is a delightful, two-bedroom, country cottage.

Nestled in the heart of the serene countryside of Castle Cary, Somerset, this tranquil, terraced cottage is an idyllic and dog-friendly retreat for families, friends, and couples seeking to explore the picturesque surroundings of the Cranborne Chase AONB.

After parking up, a warm welcome awaits within the modern open-plan living space. The kitchen and dining area set the scene for family feasts, and the sitting area, with its comfy sofa, armchair, and gas stove-effect fire, provides the perfect refuge on cooler nights.

The garden area is perfect for a nightcap under the stars and when its time to turn in, two inviting bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with a triple bunk (double below, single above), cater to families and friends alike.

Freshen up in a well-appointed bathroom with spacious shower, before heading out to explore the selection of shops and pubs in Castle Cary, perfect for picking up a souvenir or two, or treating yourself to a delicious meal in one of the many eateries such as the renowned Newt in Somerset. Art lovers will adore lunch on the terrace followed by a modern art gallery viewing at Hauser and Wirth.

Nearby, walk through the historical ruins of Bruton Abbey, and enjoy a perfect family day out to mystical Glastonbury with its local myths, legends, and breathtaking views from Glastonbury Tor. Extend your journey to the city of Wells, where independent shops, coffee houses, and restaurants await you, in addition to iconic Wells Cathedral.

Whether your quest is outdoor exploration or quiet contemplation, a stay at Bluebird Cottage promises to be an unforgettable adventure packed with magical memories.

Castle Cary is a small, attractive country town 12 miles north east of Yeovil and 24 miles south of Bath. It lies on the edge of rolling countryside between the Somerset Levels to the West and the ridgeline of Penselwood to the east, halfway between the Mendip Hills and the Blackmore Vale. The main Paddington to Penzance railway line runs about a mile to the north. The old part of Castle Cary, which is still the town centre and contains buildings like the Market House, the Round House and the old George Inn, runs along the foot of steep, grassy Lodge Hill, below where the castle used to stand. The town is the main centre for a large area of South Somerset, with a wide range of shops and services, and free parking.
