About this property
Charming Cottage in idyllic location on Stourhead Estate
Our beautiful four-bedroom cottage stands beside the entrance to Stourhead Gardens, owned by the National Trust.
Built in the 18th century, the cottage is the largest in a terrace of three, which look across the green to the lovely historic church of St Peter.
It is available for holiday rental for the first time and offers spacious self-catering accommodation for eight.
There are four double bedrooms, one of which has twin beds. Two rooms have ensuite bathrooms, complemented by a third family bathroom.
Downstairs the accommodation consists of a fine sitting room and a separate dining room, both with views across the green, a well-equipped kitchen, cloakroom and utility room. There is a dishwasher, a washing machine and a dryer. To the rear is a small garden with a pretty courtyard.
The cottage’s unique situation offers guests the opportunity to explore Stourhead’s stunning lakeside gardens in the early morning and evening when the crowds have gone.
Stourton village is surrounded by many miles of open, downland countryside and woodland, cris-crossed by footpaths and bridleways, making it the perfect centre for exploring one of Britain’s loveliest areas.
The extraordinary garden project, The Newt in Somerset, is just a 20 minute drive away. Stonehenge is less than half an hour by car, and Dorset’s Jurassic Coast around an hour away.

Wonderful place with lots of room. Large kitchen with all needed essentials. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and beautiful place to stay. Sunsets are gorgeous.
The Natural Historical gardens were charming, relaxing, and beautiful. The accomodation was nice and clean with all the amenities. Our party of 7 had an excellent time and definitely will re-visit. The Natural History staff were excellent as well.
The house is beautiful with so much character and was equipped with everything that we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable with gorgeous linens. The location is amazing, just steps away from lovely walks around Stourhead NT. And the host was brilliant, answering messages within minutes. My only problem was we only stayed 2 nights, not long enough.
Lovely property full of character, but what sets it apart is the beautiful location on the edge of the National Trust estate. Such a lovely setting. Communication with the owner was excellent, and it was very reasonably priced compared to other options we looked at. Highly recommend!
We as a family have had an amazing weekend. House was beautiful location was wonderful. Our elderly parents enjoyed it immensely. Thank you Sally and we definitely will be returning
Fabulous location with access to the Stourhead NT gardens. Cosy sitting room comfortably seating all 8 of us. Large kitchen and dining room. More than we needed in the well provided kitchen. We wanted for nothing.Very comfortable beds and bathroom facilities Great place for a family or friends get together
Outstanding house situated adjacent to the National Trust propertyStourhead. The house is tastefully decorated and extremely well equipped. All the beds were very comfortable.Sally could not have be more helpful and even walked our dog while we were at a family wedding. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stayThank you Sally.
The property was just perfect - met all our needs with charm . The area and setting was purely amazing - tranquil with plenty of history. Would 100 % recommend. A fabulous weekend with my family.
Lovely, large cottage straight outside the National Trust gate
Easy access and nearby parking. Attractive and well-looked after cottage. Plenty of nice bathrooms. The kitchen is very well supplied with utensils, pots, pans, etc.
Beautiful, cozy but spacious cottage in an idyllic location right next to the entrance to Stourhead Gardens. Well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Hoping to return.
We found the property to be quite charming with its aged historic features and gorgeous scenic setting. We were comfortable and found the home well equipped and furnished for our needs. I think it is important for visitors to know the property is at the entrance to the National Trust gardens at Stourhead and hence receives a large number of visitors walking past the front door all day, everyday. Busy by day and peaceful by night. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Loved this place. Sally was very helpful and understanding. The garden was delightful. The house tour was great. Volunteers enthusiastic and well informed. Village and shopping close. Met our neighbor Dennis and visited the church several times.
It was a joy from start to finish. The property was even better than the pictures shown. Beds comfortable with 2 en suite. A fully equipped kitchen, large dining room and comfy living room meant our multi generational group had plenty of space. Sally could not have been more helpful, even when a family drama necessitated our having 3 dogs (instead of the 2 allowed) to stay for a night. She even gifted us free range hen and duck eggs. Apart from the aforementioned family emergency, our vacation was a joy. 25 minutes drive to Longleat and the house itself is situated at the entrance to the magnificent NT Stourhead Gardens. I've had variable experiences on VRBO, but this was by far and away the very best. Can't speak highly enough about it!
