  Inn Amenities  

Imagine gazing across a mile of unspoiled English countryside to the magnificent Cathedral of Wells, which has presided over these ancient lands since the 12th century…Imagine the afternoon sun warming the creamy limestone walls while you sip Earl Grey tea in an English Country garden…

This is life at Manor Farm.

We’re sure that you’ll enjoy your stay, and that you’ll be back. We have guests from all over the world - many have visited once as tourists and returned as friends.

Manor Farm has a long history. From the time of King James I until a few years ago it was a dairy farm, producing milk for Somerset's world famous Cheddar Cheese. For the last decade it has been a lovingly-restored family home, and a haven for guests seeking a peaceful stay in an authentic English country farmhouse, far away from the hustle and bustle of day to day living.

Our guests enjoy delicious, indulgent English, Continental, and whole food breakfasts, or dishes to suit vegetarian tastes, while relaxing in the sunny dining room overlooking the orchard. After a leisurely breakfast they may choose to take a short stroll through the tiny village of Dulcote, past the old stone cottages and chapel, and across the meadows to the nearby city of Wells.

Every room at Manor Farm has its own character - choose from King, Double (Queen), Twin (two beds) rooms. We even have a disabled access ground floor suite that opens onto our peaceful, spacious gardens.

  Area Activities  

The picturesque mediaeval city of Wells, England’s smallest city, is a twenty-minute walk away from Manor Farm. Steeped in history, its name is derived from the water springs that rise in the ancient grounds of the 13th Century Bishops Palace next to the Cathedral. This superb palace, with its moat, drawbridge, and bell-ringing swans, is still the home of the Bishop of Bath and Wells.

A fruit, vegetable and antique market is held in Wells Town Square on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and traditional English pubs and tea shops provide options for a quiet, West Country Ploughman’s Lunch or Clotted Cream Tea before heading the short distance back across the meadows to Manor Farm

The 800-year old Cathedral is a magnificent tribute to the past, with nearly 300 surviving carved stone figures on the West Front - the largest collection of figure sculpture of its time in the Western world.

Adjacent to the Cathedral is the Vicars Close, a 14th Century cobbled street of forty-two small houses, the oldest inhabited street in Europe, built to accommodate the members of the Vicars Choral.

The Royal Crescent Bath:
The Georgian City of Bath (the town in which many Jane Austen novels are set) is a national treasure. The Roman Baths after which the city is named are open to the public, as is the majestic Bath Abbey, and the Historic Costume Museum. The Royal Crescent is an elegant and imposing arc of Georgian houses set above the city, and No. 1, The Royal Crescent is open to the public. Furnished with Georgian antiques, it’s a fascinating perspective on the lives of an upper class family in the Georgian era. If you love shopping, then Bath has a wide range of shops including English designer shops and high-end antique stores.

The historic town of Glastonbury, the mystic “Isle of Avalon” is held in high esteem by both the Christian and pagan communities. The Tor, a lone hill topped with an ancient tower, rises above the town and the surrounding marshes and moors to dominate the countryside for miles around. It is well worth a walk for the views of the surrounding countryside and the Mendip Hills. On a sunny day you can see for miles. The ruined abbey, built in the 12th and 13th Centuries, draws many visitors each year, as does the widely-held belief that Glastonbury may well have been the “Avalon” of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
