A spacious, dog friendly, country cottage with riverside walks and a pub nearby.

Wake up to sweeping river views, wide Somerset skies, and total countryside calm at The Cider House — a beautifully renovated barn conversion made for slow mornings, long walks, and cosy evenings by the fire. The Cider House is set within the peaceful hamlet of Stathe and enjoys breathtaking views over the River Parrett, across the Somerset Levels, and towards Aller — a historic parish recorded in the Domesday Book. Once used to store cider made from apples grown in the farm orchard, the property now blends its agricultural heritage with refined, modern living. This high-end two-bedroom holiday home has a warm, vintage country-cottage feel throughout and is ideal for guests travelling with dogs. With miles of countryside and riverside walks directly from the door, there’s no need to get in the car for daily adventures. Upstairs, making the most of the spectacular views, are two spacious super-king bedrooms. One of the beds can be configured as twin singles if required, offering flexibility for families or friends. Both bedrooms are fitted with curtains and blackout blinds for a restful night’s sleep. The bathrooms are heated and feature heated towel rails, with beautiful original elm floorboards adding character to the shower room.Downstairs, the house offers generous living and dining spaces designed for comfort and relaxation. The living room features a cosy log-burning fire and comfortable seating, perfect for unwinding after a day outdoors. The dining room is furnished with a beautiful oak table seating four, along with a discreet work area should you need to catch up on emails. The clean, newly fitted kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering and includes a full-size dishwasher.The Cider House is fully self-contained, quiet, and private. Access is via secure double gates into the courtyard. There is ample safe, off-road parking available just around the corner from the property. Entry is via a key safe, with the code shared ahead of your stay. Stathe is a haven of peace and tranquillity, yet wonderfully well connected. Step outside and you’re immediately on the riverside footpath — perfect for morning walks with your dog. The Cider House sits directly on the Parrett Trail, offering scenic walks to the charming market town of Langport, or a shorter stroll to Burrow Mump, where you can reward yourselves with a pint at the dog-friendly King Alfred pub. There is also a village shop and many other pubs to choose from in the local area along with organic/raw milk available from the dairy farm down the road. Cycling in the area is excellent, and guests are welcome to borrow our bikes during their stay. We’re also happy to recommend reliable, good-value local taxi services if you’d prefer not to drive. We are a family with two boys living next door and are available to help throughout your stay if needed, while always respecting your privacy. If you’re travelling with a larger group, we also have another property on site — The Hayloft — which sleeps two additional guests.

During your stay at this cottage, you'll be close to Somerset Towpath. The cottage offers a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.
