Other Information

We are thrilled to be offering a week’s break with thanks to the owners of New Park Farm and Finest Retreats at this elegant, modernised farmhouse near Bruton, set in 60 acres of meadows, for a private getaway perfect for multi families or friends. Enjoy unrivalled views of fields to Glastonbury Tor. An elegant quirky haven, full of character, open fires, central heating, and large fully kitted kitchen. With 3 lakes for wild swimming/picnics, sauna and gym.

The house is welcoming, warm and cosy. Cool in summer yet cosy in winter. It is centrally heated throughout, with additional open fires or wood burning stoves in all the reception rooms. An elegant formal drawing room, a dramatic dining room seating 20, a huge farmhouse kitchen and a ‘playroom/TV room’ for games or sneaking away for some quiet time.

The grounds are perfect for summer living with dining tables and chairs, recliners and sunshades. The several fire pits are for cooler evenings watching the sunset and night skies. The old stable contains a gym and a sauna and there is a rowing machine and cross trainer in the main house.

Upstairs we have bedrooms for up to 16 people in 6 doubles, 1 triple and 1 single bedrooms. A travel cot can be provided on request. There are 4 bathrooms, 2 ensuite, with an additional two ground floor WCs.

GARDEN: Numerous outside spaces with tables and chairs, fire pit and recliners to relax on. There is a southwest facing garden with unrivalled views without a house in sight. There is also an enclosed sheltered yard garden to the east with morning sunshine perfect for yoga.

LAKES/PONDS – As well as the garden and fields, there are three ponds for picnics, boating and to swim in. Some have resident black swans to swim with, and boats to muck around in. As with all live animals please remember to treat the swans and geese with care/respect especially if they have chicks or eggs nearby. You’ll find 7 fields surrounding the house on every side – for bird watching, meditating, creating dens, roving in, running through, making daisy chains or just sitting in.

The entire house and gardens will be yours, (except the cottage across the yard where wonderful Ola, our part time caretaker lives). There are many fields to roam in, ponds for boating or wild swimming. Careful country manners are required everywhere, and all gates must be closed, and dogs kept on a lead when near the animals. Clean dogs are welcome downstairs, but not on sofas/chairs please. Please scoop that poop!
