The Location
The Coach House lies in the grounds of Boords Farm, in the small Somerset village of Batcombe, up a gravel driveway and set well back off the village road. The cottage looks out onto garden and fields with bigger views of the valley and hills to the South. Here there is peace and quiet.
There is plenty of opportunity for walking in the unspoilt countryside around the grounds and village.
The Three Horseshoes, the village pub is a 5 minute walk away. Excellent quality local food is served; all sourced locally and cooked freshly. The bar stocks local beers, wines for easy drinking and is open every day and evening serving lunch and supper. Open all day weekends.
There are other pubs in nearby villages which we can happily recommend – a short drive away but perhaps a little far to walk home from!
The Coach House is the only holiday cottage on site. Guests have use of the swimming pool and tennis court in the grounds. Well-behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement.
