Our featured Somerset cottages include this unique property - the oldest mill house in the county. It is situated just a few miles from Ilminster, a charming south Somerset market town. The fine Minster church that gave the town its name towers above the multitude of small shops, market square and narrow streets crammed with mellow, honey-coloured Ham Stone buildings. Nearby Herne Hill offers extensive views over the town and the surrounding countryside, the heart of cider country and home to the multi award-winning Perry's Cider. They have been producing traditional ciders for over four generations and a visit to their family farm is recommended.
