Take a short trip to the nearby village of Barrington to visit the 11th-century Barrington Court, a Grade I listed, National Trust manor house, and meander through the picturesque grounds before stopping off at the café for a cup of tea and slice of cake. Venture a little further to the village of Montacute, home to the 16th century Montacute House, a majestic Elizabethan mansion. Outdoor enthusiasts will relish the opportunity to explore the many beautiful walks in the surrounding countryside. The history, culture and beauty of Somerset is yours to enjoy from the comfort of Hazel Cottage.

The charming market town of Ilminster is settled in the countryside of south west Somerset and named after both the River Lle and the Minster church. Ilminster was a vital staging post for travellers during the Victorian times with north-south and east-west routes. The peaceful town is home to a great selection of shops, including the traditional drapers, Dyers, as well as Meeting House Arts Centre showcasing unique art. The 15th century Minster offers a combination of ancient architecture with contemporary glass doors at the front; this building is a must see for those visiting Ilminster. Spend the day sampling cider where you can watch and learn how it's made at Perry's Cider Mill in Dowlish Wake. A wealth of amenities can be found in Ilminster, including a post office, supermarket, a library and a great selection of local shops. The picturesque village of Barrington is just under 4 miles away or head to Montacute and Corton Denham to see more of what South Somerset has to offer.
