Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
A lovely family friendly farmstay cabin, at the heart of our organic farm and cheese dairy in Somerset. Sustainable underfloor heating with polished concrete floors (pet friendly), & outside eating area with . We have a swimming pond (see pictures), and lots of pigs, and sheep.

The space
Please see pictures to get an accurate description of the cabin. This cabin is not about new stuff! It is about vintage goods and up cycled furniture. We provide a mixer, but it was made in the 90s, there is 1970s crockery, a Methodist organ (yes it still works), giant Jenga from the 80s, and a 19th c rocking horse, all of which you are welcome to use. The travel cot works but one side is wonky as it's been through 3 of our children and one other family. the high chair was a very expensive Swedish wooden one but is now 25 years old, so looks old. If you have got to the point where you are counting how many matching knives we have or testing how many speeds the 1970s hairdryer has then this is not the place for you. Similarly we now say we don't have a 42 inch TV because it works with Dvd only (there is no option for this on amenities) - so hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised when you arrive. If you like sustainable living, organic food, a beautiful location, and up cycled interiors then please visit...Our policy is that unless you are prepared to say hello to us when you arrive, and talk to us in person about any issues you have then we respectfully ask you to stay elsewhere. We are a working community of workaway volunteers and a family, over ten years we've discovered that those Airbnb guests that talk to us are the ones we want to have to stay. The cabin is secluded but the cabin also opposite the holiday cottage and our house is in view - so please come over and say hi. We'd love to meet you.

Guest access
You are welcome to walk our 22 acres, with dogs, provided they are kept on leads near livestock. We have a nature trail too, and this is a dark sky area - amazing star gazing here as very little light pollution. The swimming pond is there for you to use when you wish but we ask you don’t wear sunscreen you in the water. Similarly please do not allow your dog into the pond - Imperial College has just published a paper that dog flea treatment remains in water ways for 28 days, and contains neurotoxins that we and the resident newts do not want to encounter on our morning swim.

Other things to note
Please be aware this is a working farm, and the cabin and cottage are situated on the barn yard, which means there will be people tractors and animals moving around the perimeter of your back yard. The cottage and the pigs are your nearest neighbours - if you sit in your garden you will hear both if they are being loud!
As organic Cheesemakers we find it hard to do changeovers for single night stays, specially during busy holiday seasons. so whilst we do host single nights we usually only agree these the week of the booking (as we know when we need to be elbow deep in curds rather than cleaning a holiday let). Thank you for noting this - so if you request a single night stay more than 5 days out, we won't be able to agree it then - though might later in the week.

Neighbourhood highlights

We are the “vale of little dairies” from Thomas Harry’s descriptions of Wessex - all around us are farms, and a lot of food producers. We send you a list of things todo but highlights range from Michelin starred restaurants in Bruton to lovely cycle routes and walking here. And of course world class contemporary art galleries (Hauser & Wirth) and a Roman Villa (the Newt).

We are cheesemakers, making award winning Cheeses like Renegade Monk (Supreme Champion 2020 at #VirtualCheeseAwards) , Rebel Nun. (Stocked in Waitrose), La Fresca Margarita (Supreme Champion 2021 at the #VirtualCheeseAwards 2021), and Gert Lush, a bloomy white rinsed cheese, here at Feltham's Farm. We have 22 acres to keep our rare breed Oxford Sandy and Black pigs, sheep, hens and dog. We moved here from London 10 years ago and are loving the freedom and life that we're living. We also have a not for profit putting on film events in Somerset, particularly for children and young people, called WhereWestBegins. So if you're here in the holidays in the autumn or winter, we might have something for you.
