    You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

    Country House with Swimming Pond, Hot Tub and Glorious Gardens.

    Model Farm is a country house consisting of an impressive Victorian front to a 17th century farmhouse and cider barn. The accommodation is all in one house, sleeping up to 27 in 11 bedrooms, 6 en-suite with 4 bathrooms. The Victorian area retains many of the original features, high ceilings with impressive cornicing, original fireplaces and stained glass windows. There are two large lounges, a dinning room and a new kitchen leading onto our Orangery function room, which can be used for dining, dancing or functions. There is also an additional kitchen/diner in the Cider Barn with table football table and just outside a large covered loggia with BBQ area suitable for outside dining.

    Outside there is a log fired Scandinavian style Hot Tub seating 8 people, a 25m swimming pond, an outside kitchen next to our log burning pizza oven and several patio areas, with plenty of seating throughout the grounds. There are 4 acres of glorious gardens with large selection of different plants designed around being wildlife friendly, you will find plants of interest throughout all the seasons of the year. We also have a croquet lawn, football area, lots of outdoor games and ample off road parking.

    We tend to specialise in large groups for the weekend normally for 2 nights, Friday and Saturday and you don't need to leave until Sunday afternoon if you wish. This is around 2/3 the price of a weeks stay. A 3 night stay or mid-week stay is also available. We are happy for all types of group to stay apart from very young adults and stag parties. We will also consider up to 3 dogs per group.

    We have ample car parking and a free to use electric car charger, or it is a fairly short taxi ride from Bridgwater station.

    Model Farm is situated in the hamlet of Perry Green only 8 minutes by car from Bridgwater, yet in the peace and quiet of the country. Junctions 23 and 24 of the M5 are only 5 miles away. The Quantock Hills are a short drive away and there are plenty of footpaths in the area with some excellent walking where you can visit the many pubs in the local area for a great lunch or dinner. The village of Cannington with its pubs and gardens is a pleasant walk away and also has a golf course, horse riding, paintball/laser shooting and an adventure climbing area.

    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.

    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.

    Christmas Holiday reunion
    We rented the property for a family Christmas reunion. There was plenty of space for the children to play in the grounds and the location was great for family walks. The property had plenty of crockery etc for our group of 16.

    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!
