We feel this 400 year old Grade?II listed cottage is truly special — a genuine piece of 17th century Somerset history. With its traditional thick cob walls, whitewashed render, beautiful wheat straw thatched roof, and original exposed oak beams throughout, it carries centuries of character and charm. We have carefully and lovingly restored it, taking great pride in bringing it back to life while preserving every bit of its authentic spirit. Because it is such an ancient building, it naturally comes with the qualities of its age — the very things that give it such warmth and unique atmosphere. We always aim to describe it honestly so guests know exactly what to expect: a beautifully preserved piece of history, not a modern hotel.

Sleeping up to four guests across two cosy bedrooms, it beautifully blends period charm with modern comfort for the perfect countryside escape. Inside, original oak beams, low ceilings and thick cob walls create a warm, characterful atmosphere. The spacious living room features exposed timber and a crackling multi fuel burner, ideal for relaxing after a day out, while a separate dining room with its own wood burner offers an intimate space for meals. The well equipped kitchen has everything you need for your self catering stay, from morning coffee to leisurely suppers.

Outside, the split level garden boasts a manicured lawn and a sun drenched decking area, perfect for al fresco dining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Nestled in the quiet village of Barrington, you are just steps from the local pub, serving great food and local ales. A short walk takes you to Barrington Court, a stunning National Trust manor house with beautiful gardens and an orchard. The market town of Ilminster is only two miles away, with independent shops, cafés and a weekly farmers’ market.

You are perfectly placed for exploring: the Jurassic Coast with its cliffs and fossil beaches is easily reachable, as are the scenic Blackdown Hills, historic Montacute House, Ham Hill Country Park and the Somerset Levels. Local cider producers, charming towns and endless walking routes are all nearby too. From quiet countryside days to coastal adventures, Thatchdown Cottage is your ideal base to discover the best of Somerset.
