Clanville Manor Self Catering - Perfect For Families
Somerset Family Holiday Homes
If you are looking for an ideal base for your family holiday, half-term holiday or school holiday, why not stay in the Tallet or Lone Oak cottage? The Tallet is a warm, cosy stone cottage full of original features, and Lone Oak is a three bedroomed bungalow, both situated on the working beef farm at Clanville Manor, near Castle Cary in Somerset.
Lone Oak is in a private position at the end of the farm drive and has a small slide and Wendy House and ride-on toy. Lone Oak guests can also come down the drive to the large, safe play area in the walled garden of the farmhouse behind The Tallet - with a climbing frame, toys and a Wendy House. A picnic table, loo and shower room are available for Lone Oak guests to use as well. In June, July and August, sometimes earlier, the fenced, outdoor heated pool is available.
Lone Oak offers accommodation all on ground floor level and has three bedrooms, one en-suite so it is ideal for several generations to share their holiday together. If you stay in The Tallet, Granny and Grandpa (or Auntie!) can visit to share in family life but have their own space, in the Georgian farmhouse B&B next door. (Please ask about 'out of season' special rates for B&B stays of three or more nights).
Children can feed the hens outside the cottage or help Sally collect the eggs.
Our beef cattle and calves can be seen in the fields around the farmhouse and behind Lone Oak most of the year, but they are kept inside during the worst of the winter weather.
Only half an hour away you will find - Longleat of 'Animal Park' fame - Wookey Hole, Cricket St Thomas and Cheddar Caves. There are lots of National Trust properties to visit nearby, many of which have 'child-friendly' activities, trails and large gardens to run around!
Save space in your car - we provide stairgates, a proper wooden cot with bedding, (a second cot and highchair can be hired if needed), a highchair, steriliser, child step, children's cutlery and crockery, socket covers, fireguard, a changing mat, even a trainer loo seat and a potty!!
Full details of both cottages are on their pages - The Tallet - Lone Oak - with additional pictures.
