3516 - Idlers Cottage
About the home
Idler’s Cottage is a ham-stone studio-cottage that offers accommodation for up to 2 people. All the accommodation is laid-out over one level and has been decorated with taste and thought throughout. A private patio allows you to enjoy a spot of summertime dining while, in the winter months, storage heaters and a wood burning stove ensure that you can still enjoy all that the area has to offer. Although there is off-road parking for 1 car, the local shops and pubs are just a short walk from the front door. Idler’s Cottage is well placed as a base from which to seek out local attractions.

The Crewkerne / South Petherton area
South Petherton was once of great strategic importance on the Fosse Way. This compact little ham-stone town with its many small shops now has a quiet, unhurried charm. It has an old church with an octagonal central tower and the 14th Century manor house was restored in the 19th Century and nicknamed 'King Ina's Palace'. South Petherton stands where it stood a thousand years ago, taking its name from the nearby river Parrett and the Saxon word ‘ton’ for settlement. Modern day Petherton is a bustling, lively centre with many shops retaining their original Edwardian and Georgian fronts and providing services to the small outlying hamlets. The basis of the community has always traditionally been agriculture, interspersed by glove making, cider production and other cottage industries. Local attractions include the Margery Fish Garden in the East Lambrook Manor Gardens, the fossilised beaches of Lyme Regis and Charmouth and the Roman city of Bath.

Guestbook for 3516 - Idlers Cottage
Our holiday was very relaxing. The cottage was very private and we had our own private patio area that was not overlooked. We loved the whole South Petherton experience. A very friendly village, we felt very much part of the community . We loved the local pub, lovely pub grub and not expensive, very good value for money. We were made very welcome, very good customer service. Thumbs up all round.

,The cottage was well situated to explore the surrounding places of interest of which there are many. The village of South Petherton is delightful with a very friendly atmosphere. The owners were welcoming but not intrusive.

,Idlers Cottage was exactly as described - idyllic and in a picture perfect village. Our hosts were charming and helpful whilst allowing us privacy - we couldn't have asked for better. Make sure you frequent the local pub - the choice of foods and ales are amazing and the staff are very welcoming. We will definitely be returning to Idlers Cottage!
