Set in an acre of beautiful gardens, Beechwood Apartment is in a wonderful location, looking out across open countryside and yet just minutes’ walk from the picturesque market square of Somerton, the ancient capital of Wessex. Beechwood is one of two lovely apartments in The Mount, a 230 year old manor house originally Georgian with Victorian embellishment including the original Hamstone front door surround. The Georgian love of light and large windows means Beechwood is a very sunny and welcoming apartment. From both your bedroom and kitchen you look south across the garden to countryside. In fact the charm of The Mount is that you are enjoying a totally tranquil setting with rural views, and yet so close to the village. Somerton is a thriving village with its 17th century Buttercross, 800-year old church, and many independent shops. We have a range of places to eat, The White Hart, the Globe and the Unicorn, two cafes, an Indian restaurant and a fine dining experience at Number 28 Market Place. Somerton also has an antiques emporium, two bakeries, a butcher, health food shop, stationer, wine shop, shoe shop, fruiterer, post office, library, pharmacy, and a Co-op supermarket. Closer to home, guests can walk through our hedge to their own "Secret Garden", a private walled and secluded spot with table and chairs. The Mount is a perfect base for sightseeing South Somerset: Glastonbury Tor, the spectacular 13th century Wells cathedral and Bishops Palace with its moat, or the Ham Wall RSPB nature reserve. A short drive takes you to National Trust properties Lytes Cary Manor (5 minutes) Barrington Court (15 Minutes) and Montacute (15 minutes) while half an hour away is Stourhead, set in 200 acres of lakes framed by monuments, a must-see. The Hanging Chapel in Langport is 10 minutes away, as is the Fleet Air Arm museum and Haynes International Motor Museum. World Horse Welfare is five minutes from The Mount, at the Glenda Spooner Farm. And don’t forget the 90 designer and outlet shops in Clarks Village (12 minutes away) Cheddar Gorge and caves (45 minutes) and Bath, Bristol and Exeter, all roughly an hour’s drive away, and the famous Dunster Castle is only an hour away on the coast. The kitchen/dining room is a perfect peaceful place to work away from home, with a large wooden table in front of the window looking out across the garden and farmland beyond. The bathroom has a bath as well as a powerful shower, and heated marble tiles on the floor to keep your toes warm in the morning. The Mount offers Special Facilities: We provide free use of bicycles for cycling into the village, or for enjoying a ride on one of the fabulous local cycle circuits which we provide maps for. Laundry: your washing and drying is done for you on request as we have a large drying room. There is plenty of private parking available. The two apartments in the Mount, Beechwood and Hazelwood, are each on their own floor. The owners live onsite in another wing of the house, and should you have any requests during your stay we are delighted to help. The closest railway stations are Yeovil Pen Mill (for Bristol and Weymouth) and Castle Cary (for Taunton and Paddington), each about 15 minutes away from The Mount. Free WiFi
