About this property
Langport 2.4 miles. Nestled on Old Manor Farm, surrounded by countryside and near the owner's home, is this delightsome, detached cottage, The End. Enjoying a superb location surrounded by the lush Somerset countryside, and an interior adorned with luxury touches throughout, The End is a fantastic pet-friendly couple’s retreat. Ample off-road parking greets you on arrival, along with a delightful front garden where you can look forward to savouring your morning coffee as you plan the day ahead. Be welcomed into the contemporary open-plan living space, where you can impress your other half with tasty dishes prepared in the white-washed kitchen, featuring a handy dishwasher and washer/dryer, ready to savour at the dining table over a celebratory bottle of fizz. On warmer days, why not enjoy a spot of alfresco dining in the rear enclosed garden? After dinner, kick-back and relax on the plush sofa and select a much-loved film on the wall-mounted TV as the evening’s entertainment. As your eyes grow heavy, follow the stairs up to the first floor, where you will find a well-presented king-size bedroom, with exposed stone wall and plenty of storage for your belongings. In the morning, prepare for the day in the en-suite bathroom where you can indulge in a relaxing soak in the bath or freshen up under the overhead shower ahead of an adventure filled day. Will it be a day of wildlife watching at the RSPB Greylake or RSPB Swell Wood? Venturing over to the Quantock Hills for a day of hiking and exceptional views? Or an afternoon of exploring the National Trust site of Lytes Cary Manor? The choice is yours when you stay at The End. The cottages share a beautiful family home which is also home to Ivy & Bud, a nationwide floral gift service sending a seasonal posy and pretty little bud vase to arrive next day. The flowers and foliage are being lovingly grown at Old Manor Farm and the posies created and packaged there. Workshops may be available in the future. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1096368 and 1097558, together sleeping up to 10 guests.
Langport, an ancient market town, is located in the middle of the Somerset levels, at the Parrett River's crossing point, halfway between Taunton and Yeovil. Its central location makes it a lively centre for neighbouring communities and an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area, including the Somerset Levels, one of England's most unspoilt landscapes. The area's ancient beauty and diverse animals have inspired many painters and photographers, as well as attracting tourists from all over the world. The scenic Somerset Levels may be explored from the surrounding countryside, which is brimming with lovely villages and peaceful country lanes with walks and cycle tracks. Somerset is one of the best places in the country to go birdwatching because of its abundance of wildlife.

000 if they refused to let us in. We were made unwelcome as disabled people, that 1 sheet for 3 weeks seemed acceptable to the posh? I had to clean the property. The lights were defective. The water scolded me and used a flannel to wash every day instead. Anyone disabled- do not go there and donât use the foods left in cupboard and freezer. It was a nightmare not a rest!

Parking is ample although it is over 100m from the cottage across very muddy uneven ground. It would not be very suitable for anyone with mobility issues. On arrival after a very long journey, there were no toilet rolls, hand soap or towels in the property. Our first job was to get back in the car and go shopping for toilet rolls and soap. Towels and bedding arrived later. We have never stayed in accommodation before that does not provide these essential basics. Possibly an oversight?? The freezer needed defrosting; impossible to open the drawers without damaging them. The controls for the bath/shower need attention from a plumber as it was very difficult to adjust the temperature. Other than that it was okay.

During the heat wave days (July 2022) it was especially good as it can be kept cool and shaded inside. We stayed with our dog, and had chosen this property because it was listed as taking pets. On arrival the owner explained they do not normally take dogs [in this let] but was happy for us to do so (she said Sykes had made a mix up). A few things which would have made this 5 stars for us rather than 4 on this review are that there was no microwave, even though this is in the description of facilities, and no kitchen knives - so self-catering was trickier than it needed to be. There was also a large bag of clothing items (? left behind by a former guest?) in the under stair cupboard. Overall this property fulfilled our needs and we enjoyed our stay at The End.
