The Honey Bee in Somerset

The Honey Bee Self-Catering

Set within a walled garden overlooking the village of West Chinnock, this traditional cottage opens its doors to a stylish stay in Somerset. And much like its location, there’s a calming presence to this home that makes you want to settle in and stay.

Inside, the space has been designed to feel like a sanctuary – a place where you can slow down and enjoy life’s little wonders. Like gathering around the table and sharing a beautiful meal, or sitting by the log burner with a book. Wherever you are in this home, there’s a sense of warmth and intimacy.

Friends and families will love this home – it’s the perfect setting for a restorative retreat as well as a countryside adventure. Outside, you can walk through the village and onto one of the many hiking trails in this area. And for a day at the sea, the Jurassic Coast is only a forty–minute drive away. There are some great pubs and restaurants in this area, including Holm, ten minutes away in South Petherton, a contemporary restaurant driven by its Somerset surroundings, as well as Osip, a charming farm-to-table restaurant just thirty-five minutes away in Bruton. All that said, we won’t be surprised if this beautiful home becomes your favourite place to dine.
