Overview
Description
BLUEBELL COTTAGE. Just the place to get away and relax. In an elevated position and at the end of a long drive there is no passing traffic and the quietness is remarkable. Formerly a derelict concrete block stable it has been rebuilt with local natural hamstone and stable style doors with comfort and convenience as priorities. The king size bedroom with smart TV is cosy and relaxing, the bathroom has both bath and shower cubicle, the kitchen diner is fully equipped whilst the lounge has smart TV and patio doors. Oil-fired underfloor central heating throughout ensures warmth year round and an electric fire in the lounge can be used if necessary and provides a cosy glow. Outside a small patio area has seating and overlooks open countryside. There is plenty of space to park and guests are welcome to wander around the site.HONEYWOOD. Once a cart-horse stable for Montacute House, the property has been converted over the past 30 years by the owners, Roland and Marlene, to furnish an unusual residence in a wonderful location. Christmas Trees, bee-keeping, and logs are the occupations undertaken on this six-acre smallholding.
SURROUNDING AREA. The immediate location is dominated by Ham Hill, an ancient iron age hill fort, now a country park with 120 acres of open access and the Prince of Wales pub. Nestled around the hill are villages, including Odcombe, all with churches, most with pubs and some with shops. One of these villages, Montacute, is home to the National Trust’s Montacute House, a stately home with gardens, grounds and park. Somerset and Dorset are laced with footpaths, trackways, bridle-paths and green lanes. At the end of the driveway you can join the Pitt Lane bridleway and from there walk to your hearts content.
YEOVIL. The outskirts of Yeovil are 2 miles away where Asda, Palmers Garden Centre, café and fish-and-chip restaurant are located as well as KFC, Subway and other stores on a small trading estate. The centre of Yeovil is 4 miles away and provides the full range of facilities of a market town, including a golf-club, theatre and swimming pool, as well as open areas such as Nine-Springs Country Park.
SOUTH SOMERSET. Meandering through the lanes and villages is a good antidote to stress! There are gardens, stately homes and tourist attractions such as the Naval Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton. Www.visitsomerset.co.uk website provides full details of events and activities.
WEST COUNTRY. One of the beauties of this location is that it is central to Dorset, Somerset and parts of Devon and Hampshire, all within comfortable day-trip undertaking. The villages and countryside of West Dorset, the Jurassic Coast with seaside destinations such as Weymouth and Lyme Regis, and attractive towns such as Dorchester and Sherborne provide a wide choice. Cranborne Chase, Marshwood Vale and the AONB around Beaminster have distinct and impressive scenery. To the north Minehead, Quantoxhead, Weston-super-Mare and Burnham give a different seaside experience and Cheddar, Wookey Hole and the Mendips are absorbing. Wells, with it’s cathedral, the Somerset Levels, and Glastonbury will not fail to impress the visitor. Not far away are Exmoor and Dartmoor and a day in Exeter is very rewarding – you can travel there by train – or go in the opposite direction to Salisbury.
So whether you want to put your feet up and read a book, wear out a pair of walking shoes, or tour the around the West Country, Bluebell Cottage is the place for your holiday!

Fourth Stay
By Pauline & Derek - Gosfield on 26-Jun-2026Here we are again for our fourth stay at our favourite cottage. Despite the extremely hot weather we've had a great time. The fans in every room was essential. Thank you Roland & Marlene and we'll see you again next year.
Here we are again.
By Hazel & Derek . Oldham on 17-Jun-0026Here we are again, for the umpteenth time. By now I wouldn't be surprised if Marlene & Roland are sick at the sight of us ! But we will keep coming as long as they keep accepting our bookings; because we like it here.
