💗 THE OLD RECTORY - Somerset

The Old Rectory – Sophisticated Stays with a Glorious Coastal Backdrop 🌿

Perched high in the glorious Quantock Hills AONB, with sweeping views over the Somerset coast, The Old Rectory is a grand yet homely retreat for up to 18 guests in 9 beautifully appointed bedrooms. Elegant, spacious and full of warmth, this former clergyman’s residence is the perfect spot for big family holidays, sophisticated hen weekends, low-key celebrations, or a corporate break with a side of countryside charm.

From the moment you come up the sweeping driveway, The Old Rectory sets the tone – timeless elegance outside, comfort and character within. Curl up with a book by a woodburner, swap stories in the inviting drawing room, or gather the whole gang for dinner in the grand dining space. And with a studio on-site, there's room for wellness workshops, yoga retreats, or even small meetings that don’t feel like meetings.

🛏 Nine restful bedrooms, each with a story – named after rectors and their wives from years gone by.
🎱 Games room, playroom, and outdoor play area for the young (and young at heart).
🧘‍♀️ Studio for yoga, wellness, or small conferences.
🔥 Hot tub, lawn games and BBQs in the summer – fireside films and board games in the cooler months.

📍 Step straight out into nature: dramatic clifftops, heather-topped hills, and winding woodland trails are all right there.
🏞 Climb to the top of Wills Neck for views to Wales, explore the walks at Cothelstone Hill and Fyne Court, or trace the poet’s footsteps at Coleridge Cottage.
🚂 Ride the West Somerset Railway to Minehead or Dunster for castles, seaside fun, and traditional cream teas.
🌊 Go fossil hunting at Kilve or St. Audries Bay, take a hike at Watersmeet, see the tiny Culbone Church, and uncover the wild beauty of Exmoor National Park.
🎟 Pop into Taunton for a culture fix, shop mooch, or a stroll around Vivary Park.

Whether you’re sipping wine in the hot tub, playing croquet on the lawn, tucking into a feast in the dining room, or watching a movie by the fire, The Old Rectory has the perfect pace and space for unforgettable group stays.

💫 Gather your favourite people and make the memories.
