Stratton-on-the-Fosse 1 mile. For a completely different holiday experience, try this amazing handcrafted wooden Somerset roundhouse. Set in the grounds of the owner's 40-acre organic farm, this Somerset cottage is near the village of Stratton-on-the-Fosse at the eastern end of the Mendip Hills, 2 miles from Midsomer Norton and only 12 miles from historic Bath. This unusual Somerset holiday cottage, 26' in diameter, offers a perfect romantic retreat for couples or a small family who would like to sample a different way of living. The light and airy open plan interior of this Somerset holiday accommodation boasts a romantic handmade four poster bed, created from ash coppiced from the farm's own woodland, whilst the woodburning stove provides a warm cosy glow. Outside, stroll straight from the door into the countryside and discover the nearby woodlands and valley, or just simply relax, sip a refreshing drink and take in the views across the fields. On site, guests can purchase fresh organic homegrown produce including free range eggs and pork. Then, walk off the excesses over to the nearby Mendip Hills or cycle to Mells, the home of Little Jack Horner of nursery rhyme fame. The beautiful cities of Bath and Wells are a short drive from your Somerset holiday cottage, or alternatively, explore mystical Glastonbury, scenic Cheddar Gorge, or meet the witch at Wookey Hole Caves. A truly original, unconventional and unforgettable holiday experience!

Reviews
We fell in love with the Roundhouse the moment we saw it on the website and the reality did not disappoint, the roundhouse is beautiful and unique in a relaxing picturesque setting. If you do want to venture out you are perfectly located to top attractions. Our children also adored the garden that accompanied the house.
This was a very quirky little place, just what we were looking for. It was quiet and in a good location. The owners were very welcoming and offered some lovely personal touches.
Returning to the Roundhouse was a pleasure. The cottage has had even more added since our last stay! The owners made us very welcome and the farm is such a peaceful and healing place for a break. We are already planning our return!
It's so lovely to be able to spend quality time with the person you love, not having any distractions. Working together to make food using the Rayburn was so wonderful and having fresh produce from the farm made it even more special. All the little extras that the owners added just really make your holiday. We will definitely be back again.
Wonderful building with a truly unique and romantic feel. Beautiful location with lovely walks around the farm.
We were after a few days rest, peace and quiet in a new environment and this is exactly what we got. Our thanks go to the owner and their family for creating such a unique spot in Somerset. Their attention to detail, their welcome and their generosity made the stay a memorable one. We look forward to coming back to The Roundhouse some day soon.
An excellently unique and intriguing property which makes for a lovely weekend away.
We fell in love with the roundhouse as soon as we arrived. The design and décor is amazing. We wanted to be alone and somewhere romantic and peaceful. We found everything we wanted. Its beautifully designed, built and warm (once you get fire going). Its romantic, peaceful and tranquil. If I had to describe in one sentence about the roundhouse. Its like it was written in a Roald Dahl book and then someone imagined what they read and built it. We would definitely stay again as it really is a wonderful and peaceful place. Thanks for a great time!
Lovely setting, the roundhouse is beautiful and so relaxing. I would highly recommend this property. The owners were lovely and we can't wait to go back.
The Roundhouse was amazing and in a good general location for attractions. The owners are a lovely couple who have done extremely well with this accommodation. A definite recommendation to family and friends. Keep up the great work.
So peaceful and totally different from the normal holiday cottages available.
Somerset is a wonderful place to visit. The owners of The Roundhouse were so welcoming and helpful, but not intrusive. A wonderfully made house, the moment you step in you feel at home and you feel sad to depart. We will return to this special place.
We were able to wind down as soon as we arrived. The Roundhouse is truly an amazing building and had a personal feel to it! The location was perfect, felt like we were in the middle of nowhere but still had good access to local towns and villages.
The Roundhouse is a wonderful property - full of charm and character and abundant in comfort. We had a wonderful three nights there and could easily have stayed for longer. Cosy and warm, even in February. I'd recommend this rustic retreat to anyone year round.
Place was wonderful, hosts were friendly and a great location.
It was a wonderful place, very well presented, with a unique and charming character.
A really lovely place. Clearly a lot of work has gone into making The Roundhouse feel very homely and cosy with a lot of attention to detail. Lovely people. Highly recommend to anyone. Loved it!
We loved the round house and the farm it is situated on. No complaints whatsoever.
We had an amazing experience on this organic farm. The hosts were really welcoming & engaging and were always willing to stop and chat about their plans for the land, etc. It is a truly special place and we wish the owners every success with their future endeavours.
The Roundhouse was a very unique property - it was beautiful, an ideal romantic getaway with none of the distractions of modern living - no Wi-Fi or TV was in fact, bliss !
Fantastic experience. The owners were lovely.
It had a friendly atmosphere combined with a warm and friendly welcome from the owners. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The house gave off a relaxing feel which helped us unwind and enjoy the sites which we went to. The farm animals helped you feel relaxed as well.
Beautiful tranquil location. Peaceful and relaxing.
It was very peaceful and relaxing the stress free break we needed. Despite being in the middle of nowhere it was very close to the local amenities that we needed, an absolute pleasure to stay.
A beautiful, unique place to get away from it all but still close to civilisation if desired. Clean, warm, cosy and comfortable with fantastic hosts who added fantastic personal touches and were attentive when appropriate. Loved it. Just what we needed. Thank you
It is very unique, lovely place to get away from everything and enjoy time together. It is also close to Longleat and Cheddar Gorge. Would definitely recommend.
A unique experience, the Roundhouse felt like home right away, so carefully built, lots of attention to detail and a genuinely low impact holiday home. A perfect mix of simplicity and luxury. The farm is a great place to explore, and we slept like logs! We are already planning our next break there.
A unique family holiday filled with lots of lovely surprises. A child's paradise playground, lots of friendly farm animals and a wonderful dog. Made very welcome and would love to visit again to see what else has been added to this most imaginative and thoughtful place.
It was quirky and a fun place to stay. Very striking and amazing that it was all handmade by the owners. The location was very rural, peaceful and within striking distance of Bath.
The owners are lovely people and very welcoming. A lovely peaceful place to stay with friendly hosts who care - highly recommended.
Peace and quiet in a romantic setting.
