The cottage offers a glimpse into history with mullioned windows, original oak beams and a large stone fireplace housing a flickering woodburner for cosy nights in. Lovingly restored to create an elegant home, the modern kitchen invites budding chefs and the seven sumptuous bedrooms, three of those in the converted barn yards away from the main house, provide a restful space to return to at the end of the day.

Old world charm blends effortlessly with modern design to create a stunning garden room that makes an occasion out of every meal with large windows framing country views.

The enchanting gardens are a sight to behold. Manicured lawns stretch out to reveal an array of trees and flowerbeds bursting with colour in the summer months. Young and old will enjoy exploring the wild woodland where you can pick fruit from the branches above and berries from nearby hedges. You can also collect eggs to add to a leisurely brunch best served al-fresco.

And at the end of a busy day, what better way to spend your evenings than surrounded by stars in the tranquil outdoor hot tub.

The Dairy House is surrounded by private parkland that forms part of the stunning Dillington Estate, a 3000 acre working farm and countryside estate. You can explore your surroundings with leisurely walks and there are plenty of country pubs to fall into for a taste of the region.

Beautiful House

This house was beautiful! It was the perfect location to celebrate my in laws 50th anniversary with the whole family. The area is stunning and we had a couple of lovely long walks accessible from the front door. Having only had the house for the weekend, it was lovely to be able to stay on the Sunday until 4pm too!

My family and I had the most wonderful stay at The Dairy House. The house is thoroughly equipped, superbly comfortable, and in the most gorgeous setting. There were plenty of terrific countryside walks to enjoy right on the doorstep, as well as a handful of excellent pubs within 15 minutes' drive. While you feel entirely private and in an isolated position, Ilminster with its tea shops and supermarket is a 5-minute drive.

A great house for a family reunion. Beautiful property and delightfully furnished with extensive gardens and a very popular hot tub. Loved by children and adults alike. Thoroughly recommended. The Dillington Estate office staff were very friendly and helpful.

We have not long returned from a fabulous stay at The Dairy House, where we held our daughter’s humanist wedding celebration. The house and grounds are beautiful and it was perfect for a large group - the kitchen was so well equipped and perfect for catering for a lot of people, plenty of fridge and freezer space, ovens, hob an equipment excellent.

The garden in early November was spectacular with amazing autumn colour and the perfect environment for both dogs and kids with so much to explore.

We would thoroughly recommend The Dairy House for a family celebration.

This property was perfect for a multi generational holiday. Grandparents, sons, daughter in laws and seven grandchildren, ranging in age from 18months to 9 years. A beautiful garden was enjoyed by all and we made good use of the hot tub and barbecue. Ilminster is great for shopping, it’s easy to park and only 5 minutes away in the car. Plenty of places to visit.
