In a nutshell: Charming and unusual, walk to pub, shops and restaurants, pet friendly. If you are looking for thatched holiday cottages Somerset is the place for you. This property is situated in Chard, the highest town in Somerset, nestling in a corner of the county between Dorset and Devon and surrounded by beautiful countryside. Nearby is Forde Abbey, founded by the Cistercians in 1140 it was one of the richest and most learned monasteries in the country. The church was demolished in the Dissolution and later rebuilt as a magnificent house. Today, it is a family home and very much a living, working estate rather than a museum piece. It has award-winning gardens open to the public including a mature arboretum, rockery, bog garden and working walled kitchen as well as a cascade of lakes providing a wonderful setting for the Centenary Fountain, the highest powered fountain in England.
