Vendors Comments

”What I love most about Lavender Cottage is its peace, quiet and tranquillity, and waking up to the birds singing in the morning. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, a vast network of country walks and a friendly community that looks out for one another, it offers a wonderfully relaxing way of life. Visitors often describe it as a special place to stay.
Despite its rural setting, it enjoys easy access to local amenities in Wincanton and Gillingham, excellent pubs including The White Lion with its lovely beer garden, and quick connections via the A303, just minutes away. Ideally located on the borders of Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire, it is perfectly placed to enjoy the many nearby attractions with a wealth of excellent pubs and restaurants, as well as the Dorset Coast in just under an hour. Three nearby railway stations also provide excellent links to London, Bristol/Bath and the South West.
For me Lavender Cottage perfectly combines peaceful country living with excellent connectivity and everyday convenience.”
