Set in the rural tranquility of the Somerset Levels, close to Ilminster and Langport, Westport Farm is an 8 acre smallholding with three beautifully furnished and equipped holiday cottages providing designer-quality holiday accommodation in a particularly attractive part of the Somerset countryside.
Westport Farm’s iconic clocktower building has been sympathetically converted into three adjoining high spec wheelchair-friendly and dog-friendly ground floor holiday cottages. Hare Cottage sleeps four and Cockerel Cottage and Gander Cottage both sleep two. The cottages provide quiet, cosy accommodation for those looking for a relaxed week or so away from the hustle and bustle of city life. With views to die for, the cottages are comprehensively equipped and set in a glorious rural location between Taunton and Yeovil.
Westport Farm, which also produces traditional ciders and organic apple juice, comprises a combination of parkland, orchards and the Westport terminus of the now decommissioned Langport-Westport Canal. In addition to the cottages’ own outdoor furniture on their front and back patios, there are also orchard and canal-side benches set out for the use of guests.
The farm is home to three generations of the Reid family as well as a motley assembly of hens, geese, ducks, a soppy labrador, an over-indulged cat and occasional flocks of sheep or herds of dairy cows. It is also host to a vast array of local birdlife. See our nature on site section for more.

Westport Farm Cottages enjoy a tranquil location in the Somerset Levels, close to Ilminster and Langport.
City dwelling visitors find that Somerset offers a slower, gentler pace of life where old-fashioned courtesy is a feature of driving in the narrow country lanes. If the idea of purring through picture postcard villages, stopping for lunch in a lovely old free house or for a spot of tea and cake in picturesque tea rooms appeals, then Somerset is the county for you. Come visit us.
There is a huge range of places of interest within five to sixty five minutes drive of Westport. Ramblers, beach lovers, Jurassic fossil hunters and fishermen can rejoice in not one but two coastlines. The wild open spaces of Exmoor and Dartmoor are little more than an hour’s drive away, and also close are the historic cultural centres of Bath and Wells, while Bristol, Taunton and Yeovil provide intensive retail therapy for anyone missing metropolitan life. Check out our Things to See & Do pages for details of the best of the huge range of Somerset, Dorset and Devon sights, activities and recommended restaurants, pubs and tea rooms.
