The Merry Mare

Just outside Bruton, this home is situated in a stable yard. It's easy to explore Somerset from this spot – King Alfred's Tower is a twenty-minute drive, Bristol is just over an hour away by train, and the nearby Mendip Hills are perfect for hiking. While you'll share access to the garden with two other homes, you'll have a private balcony with views of the horses that live next door. The modern design contains all the must-have conveniences, from a sleek kitchen to disabled access upon request. A sofa bed can accommodate guests five and six for a fee, but we think it'd be a squeeze.

Home truths:
*Two small, well-behaved dogs are allowed here.
*Though two guests can sleep on the sofa bed, we think this home would be a squeeze for six. We'd recommend a maximum guest count of four.
*While the downstairs shower room isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*The single beds can be linked to form a super king-sized bed upon request.
*Your host can provide a travel cot, high chair, and stairgate upon request.
*This home may be disabled-friendly, with possible access via a threshold ramp – please ask your host for more information.
*This home is one of three on the estate. The patio and balcony are private, but the garden and lawn are shared with other guests.
