Westport Farm Cottages

Hare Cottage, Somerset

Single-storey cottage for 4 near Ilminster & Langport

 

Hare Cottage is one of three very accessible self-catering holiday cottages on Westport Farm. It provides designer quality accommodation for up to four guests in two bedrooms.

Set in the tranquility of the Somerset Levels, close to Ilminster and Langport, and between Taunton and Yeovil, Westport Farm is an 8-acre smallholding producing traditional ciders and organic apple juice. The property comprises a combination of parkland, orchards and the Westport terminus of the now decommissioned Langport-Westport Canal. There is step-free access to each cottage, all of which are on a single level and both wheelchair-friendly and dog-friendly. We live on the farm and meet guests on arrival to help them to settle in, and are available to help throughout their stay.

Hare Cottage consists of an open plan kitchen and sitting room, a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a wet room. The floors are all light oak, except in the wet room which benefits from non-slip Altro flooring. Internal doors are waxed light oak. Windows and external doors are double-glazed hardwood. There is central heating and fibre optic Wi-Fi throughout.

There are no utility charges. Towels, crisply laundered bed linen, soap powder, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid coffee, tea and sugar are all supplied free of charge. To get guests’ stay off to a great start we also provide a free Welcome Pack containing bread, butter, milk, and from our farm pantry eggs, jam, chutney, apple juice and cider.

Floorplan

Front Patio

The sandstone front patio, outside the kitchen/sitting room, has a garden table and chairs—ideal for a quiet drink after a day of sightseeing. It overlooks the croquet lawn and five acres of enclosed parkland, often home to a visiting flock of Poll Dorset sheep or herd of dairy cattle and always home to a wealth of birdlife.

Open Plan Kitchen / Sitting Room

The fitted kitchen has built-in under counter oven, freezer, fridge, dishwasher, washer/dryer and storage cupboards. At counter level is a butler’s sink with easy turn lever mixer tap, glass induction hob, microwave, toaster, coffee grinder and kettle. A full range of pots, pans and crockery is provided.

In the sitting area there is a dining table with 4 leather covered dining chairs, 2 super comfy electric riser/recliner armchairs and 2 leather tub chairs. Also provided are an adjustable wall-mounted 42” flat screen Freeview TV & DVD player and a remote-controlled flame-effect electric fire, which can be run (with or without heat) throughout the year for cosy nights in.

Bedrooms

These are accessed via a hallway leading off the kitchen/sitting room. There is a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. Both contain built-in wardrobes. The wardrobe in the twin bedroom contains a hair dryer and is fitted with a Yale laptop wide safe. All beds are made from solid light oak with firm ortho mattresses, comfy mattress toppers and duvet covers. Bed linen is high thread count Egyptian cotton. Pillows are available in natural down or fibre fill. Light oak bedside cabinets are also provided. Each bedroom contains a wall mounted 32-inch flat screen TV with Freeview.

Wet Room

The wet room is at the end of the hallway. It benefits from state-of-the-art Altro non-slip flooring. It contains a high-grade Vado thermostatic shower with fixed overhead unit, five function hand unit and grab rails. In addition, there is a free-standing shower chair with back and arms.

Back Patio

The back door at the end of the hallway leads out to a sandstone paved south facing patio equipped with table and chairs. This overlooks the hens’ apple orchard. It provides an ideal spot for a secluded early morning coffee and croissant, and in summer is great for sitting out in the afternoon sun.
