Beautiful house and facilities
Amazing house for a short weekend away with friends. We came for Easter weekend with a large group of 19 people. We ordered pizzas from the local pizza restaurant under David’s recommendation which made cooking easier and were great pizzas that arrived nice and hot. We did spot a mouse in one of the rooms however but as people who live in the rural countryside ourselves, it’s expected in these types of properties. Overall great stay and lovely facilities- amazing hot tub and we loved the outside swimming pond for a cold dip in the mornings!

Wonderful New Year Gathering
We spent New Year at Model Farm as a group of 18 friends and family. It was a wonderful experience from refreshing dips in the ‘swimming pond’, firing up the pizza oven and the hot tub, countryside walks to local pubs, as well as relaxing in the gorgeous glass roofed Orangery. The owner Dave is a gem, quick to reply to messages and on hand to give advice when needed. Highly recommended.

Sorry you did not find the gardens private enough for you Karen. We do reserve the front of house gardens exclusively for our guests but with 4 acres of gardens to manage we do need to allow our gardeners and ourselves to work on the main gardens during the week. The gardeners do not work weekends if you wish to come to Model Farm again.

Fantastic venue
Had an amazing time, the building is fantastic and having so many bedrooms is so helpful when having a 40th birthday party. The livingroom and kitchen are bigger than they look in the photos and easily held 18 of us. The garden was massive and had all sorts of little areas to have a look at and sit in. The owner (Dave) is very friendly and helpful and gave us a good tour. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to hold a gathering or some away time with the extended family.

Early 60th
Visiting from Australia to catch up with family from all over UK and wanted to gather in a single location. With 14 adults ages 17 - 87 and 2 dogs the accommodation worked really well, The property was clean and well serviced and Dave was incredibly helpful as unfortunately our check-in date turned out to be Queens funeral day. The Garden was beautiful and we played Croquet, Jenga and Connect 4 on the lawn. The local village was easy to walk to and had 4 pubs (only got to 3). The BBQ area was very well equipped (even for an Aussie) and the kitchen dinner accommodated us all very well. We never used the pizza oven or hot tub in the garden as time didnt allow. The property was also a good location for touring to places like Dunster, Taunton and the Quantocks. The bedrooms were large and comfortable and the bathrooms / en suites clean and plenty of hot water. We all had a great time and many happy memories - thanks for the stay, really enjoyed it!

Model Farm - dream weekend away
Anna and I are so grateful to Dave and Ros for our stay at Model Farm with our friends as a 30th birthday gathering that turned into an engagement celebration. The communication was fantastic and they were so flexible when we realised that two of our friends could not come owing to COVID, and three more then said they could come late on. Dave even mowed the grass in an area of the grounds when we mentioned we were thinking about playing cricket one day! And Model Farm was beautiful, well-resourced and all the bedrooms/bathrooms were perfect. All of the personal touches in terms of providing us with local products were so appreciated. We would recommend Model Farm to anyone.

60th birthday weekend away
We all loved the cottage, it was perfect for a big friends and family get together. Living room is so spacious so we could all gather there for games and kitchen is also large for us all to eat breakfast together! Bedrooms are huge and very comfy and everything was decorated to a high standard and spotless! We had use of the orangery for the second night and that was perfect for our murder mystery evening which was hosted by Blackwatch entertainment. We would definitely recommend them, the actors were lovely and made everyone feel at ease! Dave the owner was amazing, happy to help us and answer any questions we had. I can’t recommend this place enough and all of us felt the same! Lovely grounds also and we very much enjoyed the hot tub! Thank you so much Dave, we will be back 😊

Hen weekend
We were a large party of 22 for a hen weekend and Dave couldn't have been more accommodating for us. The local area is stunning and instructions to get to the property made finding ourselves in the heart of the countryside very simple. We arranged for the local vineyard, Oatley, to come and give us a wine tasting experience and had the most incredible pizza from Perry Green pizza. The hen has had the best weekend and we can't recommend Model Farm enough

I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay at Model Farm. I was suprised to see you have only given us 4 stars, the first review of less than 5 stars we have had in the last ten years. I had thought you had all had a great time here. Perhaps you could let me know how I could improve the house to meet your very high standards, so it would be better for you if you stay again. I have been in touch with some of the group and have found out that we were reduced to 4 stars from 5 as they were accosted by the local fox hunt when out walking who thought they were hunt saboteurs and were not very nice to them. I'm afraid we can do nothing about the local hunt but were please to hear they were very happy with the house and want to book again.

Spent Christmas here. Dave was extremely helpful and showed us round and was very accommodating when we requested a late check out. The house is ideal for a large group and the kitchen had plenty of cutlery. Though it was quiet cold outside, the house stayed warm all the time. The showers had good pressure and there was always hot water for our large group of 20+. Even managed to use the outdoor hot tub on Boxing Day! would definitely recommend this place especially as it allows pets. The gardens are well maintained and the surrounding area is very flat and ideal for long walks. All in all we had a great stay there and would definitely go back.

Natalie's 40th with Family and Friends
We all had a fabulous weekend 12th to 15th April 2019 at Model Farm. The venue was very spacious and comfortable, it suited our party which included various age groups. The hot tub was a great success and the outdoor space was used for numerous games and rounders proved very popular. The gardens were delightful, we had a barbecue on Saturday. One recommendation would be to perhaps have mixer taps in the bathrooms in order to help control the extremely hot water. All the bedding was top quality and the beds very comfortable. Overall a very successful get together and would be very happy to come back again, thank you.

My only regret is that we didn’t come in the summer, I think the garden will be fabulous then. Having said that, it was the perfect place for a Christmas family reunion - surprisingly warm for such a big old place, with a Christmas tree provided and plenty of space and equipment to cook Christmas dinner for 16. The rooms were all delightful with top quality beds and many with en-suite bathrooms. My nieces wanted to move in. Dave and Roz were great hosts, always on hand if we needed anything.

A Magical Family Reunion for over 25 Guests
We had the most wonderful week at Model Farm. Ages of our family ranged from 8 years old to 88 years old - and the estate was perfect for all. The gardens are remarkable - and we used them nonstop. The hot tub is a great bonus. The bedrooms are all well appointed and the linens are top tier. The electric stove tops / burners need upgrading - but that was a minor part of an incredible stay. Good supermarkets are only a few miles away - and there are some of the UK's greatest destinations within a few miles of Bridgwater. We are all eager to return to Model Farm every year. It is a special place.
