Converted from a traditional stone barn in the tiny hamlet of Penselwood, on the borders of Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset, Pen Mill Cottage enjoys an idyllic, rural setting, at the lower end of a hidden valley overlooking three cascading ponds, with rolling pastureland and woodland beyond. The cottage is perfect for a family as the large garden offers endless scope for playing and the stream and ponds provide endless hours of amusement damming and catching crayfish. (N.B. not ideal for toddlers) There is also a swing in the garden and a games room in an old stable with table tennis, swing ball and darts.

The cottage adjoins one other dwelling on the north side of a former farmyard but is essentially very private and secluded; the other barns are now used for stabling in addition to the games room for visitors to the cottage.

There is much to do in the area... wonderful walking on the owner's 150 acre farm and adjoining Stourhead Estate (National Trust), riding stables 4 miles away or stable your own horse at Pen Mill Cottage, golf at adjacent Bullpits 9 hole course (temporary membership provided), coarse fishing, clay pigeon shooting& and much to see&..visit major tourist sites such as Stonehenge, Stourhead, Longleat, Bath, Salisbury & Wells, interesting gardens and specialist nurseries and explore the local pubs, including The White Lion at Bourton (10 minutes' walk across the fields).

Pen Mill Cottage is light and spacious and furnished and equipped to high specifications. All rooms are at ground floor level making the cottage suitable for elderly visitors.
