If the guest book is anything to go by, Dillington Estate in south Somerset is a real gem! This family owned working farm and country estate covers over 3000 acres of beautiful British countryside, just a short drive from a choice of pretty towns and rural villages.

Deciding to share this rural haven with guests, the owners have created a smattering of stylish, family-friendly holiday accommodation from the former farm buildings and cottages. Recently renovated, each offers a luxurious country hideaway for between 4-24 guests. Scattered across the estate, each property sits in tranquil, country surroundings with views of rolling fields and their own private gardens. Large parties looking for somewhere to celebrate something special are in luck as there are several options to choose from. Whether they opt for the charming Dairy House which sleeps up to 16 guests and comes with its own orchard, hot tub, play area and resident chickens. Or something statelier, in the form of the Manor House which sleeps 24 and comes with its own swimming pool and tennis court. Throw in the option for private chef hire and there is everything needed for a truly memorable celebratory holiday!

Whichever property guests choose, they will find themselves transported to a world of peace and relaxation, or at least they will until the kids wake up! Mornings are filled with birdsong and days can be spent exploring the local area which has a great deal to offer from pretty towns and village to family days out. Foodies have a choice of great places to discover from the ever-popular Pig at Combe to At The Chapel in fashionable Bruton.

All in all, Dillington Estate is an idyllic place to escape the toils of urban living and take in some much-needed country air!
