Location Map and Directions
The idyllic grounds of this family home extend to 200 acres and whilst they are secluded, the bustling town of Castle Cary is within 2 miles.
Clanville Manor has a rural location about a mile from Castle Cary railway station [on the B3153 road]. This road runs between the A371 Wincanton to Shepton Mallet road, and the A37 Yeovil to Bristol road.
Public transport is sometimes erratic, taxis are expensive and hard to find - so it is highly recommended that you have your own car to explore the area fully. For car hire in the South West of England, please see Williams Selfdrive website.

Our white gate and cattle grid are just under the railway bridge. Most vehicles can use the cattle grid; there is no need to open the gate. Take care on the drive as it can become slippery in rain, drive around to the back of the house. Guests for Lone Oak cottage should park outside the guests' car park. B&B and Tallet guests please open the gate marked 'Guests' car park' and park in the gravelled car park. All guests please close the car park gate, then follow the gravelled path to the right, past our garden room, through the green gate in the wall to the front garden and front door. I may leave a note on the door of the cottage for Tallet guests if I have to be away. Please knock on the front door and I shall show you to your room or the Tallet, or give you a key and directions to Lone Oak. We look forward to seeing you soon!
