Description
Ilminster 1.9 miles.
Manor Cottage is a stunning Grade II listed thatched cottage dating back to the 16th century, nestled beside the church in the picturesque village of Kingstone, near Ilminster in Somerset.
This detached property offers a unique blend of historic character and modern convenience, making it an inviting retreat for families or friends seeking a peaceful escape.
Inside, three spacious bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements for up to six guests, including two doubles and a twin, with an en-suite and family bathroom for added ease.
The well-equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing hearty meals, while the dining room, complete with a charming decommissioned feature stove, sets the scene for memorable gatherings.
After a day of exploring, unwind in the sitting room, where an additional gas fired stove, with its coal effect flames and cosy glow creates a warm, atmospheric space.
Outside, the cottage sits within approximately half an acre of enclosed gardens, offering a safe haven for children and pets to play.
A patio area invites alfresco dining or simply relaxing with a drink while soaking up the tranquil surroundings.
In spring and autumn, the magnificent magnolia tree bursts into bloom, adding a seasonal flourish to your stay.
From the doorstep, scenic walking and cycling routes weave through the Somerset countryside, while Ilminster’s historic streets and independent shops lie just a short drive away.
Further afield, explore the bustling market town of Chard, or venture to Wells and Exeter for cultural attractions and vibrant shopping.
For a memorable day out, visit National Trust gems such as Barrington Court and Montacute House, or head to the Jurassic Coast for fossil hunting and beach adventures.
Manor Cottage offers the perfect balance of relaxation and discovery, promising an unforgettable Somerset getaway.

What guests are saying
Clean, comfortable with ultra modern facilities, the very old meets the very new in this centuries old property.
Very peaceful and with the quietest of neighbours, it's a joy to return to after a long day sightseeing in this lovely part of Somerset. We did have a few teething problems with the heating system which the very helpful owner managed to rectify, but otherwise highly recommend it.
Our second visit to Manor Cottage this year.
The property is well maintained and spacious and the large, enclosed garden (with undercover facility if it rains!) is gorgeous. It is very well placed for visiting towns and villages in Dorset, Devon and Wiltshire as well as the coast. Thoroughly recommend
