Ham Street Retreat, ideal for families of all ages

The accommodation is a self-contained annex decorated in vintage style. It includes a chunky pine double bed, pine bunk beds, sofa, games chest, TV, wifi, bathroom (with bath and shower) and a well equipped kitchen with dining table. It fits up to 2 adults, 2 children and a baby. Travel cot, highchair and bedding provided. We have a shop/cafe in the village that sells amazing bread, pastries and all the essentials. We are just 10 minutes drive from Glastonbury and Clarks Village in Street. Although this is listed as 1 bedroom, the bunk beds and double beds are in separate areas divided by a curtain. The TV is in the same area as the bunk beds. This may not be ideal if you’re planning to watch TV after the kids go to bed. It is great in the morning though if you fancy a lie-in!! The accommodation is clean and has been designed as a short term holiday let. It is light and airy by day and cosy by night. It includes every essential but with personality. We want everyone to enjoy their stay, learn more about animals and farming and return home as a friend, not a guest. This accommodation works best when used as a base to explore the lovely local area rather than as somewhere to stay indoors 24/7 particularly if it's fully occupied. The accommodation is designed to be quirky, comfortable and functional. We endeavour to clean and maintain everything to the best of our abilities and we do not charge for cleaning like many other hosts do. If you are looking for somewhere to stay that represents great value and will leave you with a wonderful set of memories, then we’re the place you’re looking for! Guests have access to their own patio on which they can socialise. There is a private access, via patio doors, to the accommodation which is joined but separate to the main house. There is an off-road parking space exclusively for use by guests. Guests are also welcome to enjoy the spacious rear garden. It is well fenced, private and perfect for playing or relaxing outside. The garden features a good sized lawned area, flower and fruit beds. Younger guests are welcome to use the climbing frame and trampoline provided. We used to offer 'farm tours' but we no longer keep many animals due to work commitments. Guests are welcome to walk to meet 2 sheep that we share with friends that live 500 yards down the road and feed them through the gate. One of them (Simon) is particularly friendly. Although we provide sheep food, we do not provide insurance so this activity is at guests own risk x We are a friendly, helpful family who enjoys hosting guests. We can give you 100's of top tips to make the most of the area and go the extra mile to make your stay as enjoyable as possible x We have heaps of places to see, shop at, eat in and generally people watch all within 10-15 minutes drive. Our village has a small farm shop selling essentials or a host of supermarkets can be found in Glastonbury and Street. Our village is particularly beautiful and offers the opportunity to relax, walk, cycle, birdwatch and just enjoy the countryside! We provide a local paper so you can find what's on while you're here. Glastonbury has a beautiful Abbey, the newly transformed Rural Life Museum, wonderful cafes, quirky shops and of course the Tor. Wookey Hole Caves is a favourite for families. Longleat Safari Park and Bristol Zoo are essential if you love animals. If you're into boys toys then head to Haynes Motor Museum or the Fleet Air Arm Museum. Clarks Village Outlet Village is a dream destination for shoppers. If beautiful scenery are more your thing then head to Cheddar Gorge or Stourhead. If you like a bit of history and culture Wells and Bath are both within an hours drive, are stunning and have great shops too. If you like fossils, Kilve Beach is an hour away and has the most incredible cream teas. A bus runs through the village several times a day to a nearby town called Street. Castle Cary station is around 15 minutes drive away and there are always taxis available. Bristol airport is an hours drive away. Glastonbury (town and festival) and Street are just 10 minutes drive away. Wells is 25 minutes, Bath and Bristol an hour and Yeovil is 25 minutes. Some noise of dogs barking can be heard when the doorbell rings or in the garden. It does not last for more than a few seconds but not ideal for anyone who wants 100% silence! This is an annex to our home and as such you may hear us tinkering about in our kitchen on our side of the wall.
