Luxury self-catering accommodation in Ilminster

Ilminster holds a prime position in a verdant patch of Somerset in the south west of England, halfway between two coasts. Because it's so easily accessible, the location is perfect for weekenders seeking a break from the major towns and hoping to roam the local byways, yet also in prime position to reach nearby Glastonbury Festival. Community spirit runs high here with events happening throughout the year, such as the Midsummer Experience: visitors will find exhibitions, concerts, plus a vehicle show, dog show and rock bands.

In winter, this pretty little town shows off its twinkly best with a sparkling display of Christmas lights to become a proper country winter wonderland. For seaside fun, beach-goers can take the short drive south to Lyme Regis and Weymouth, two major coastal towns book-ending the sweeping West Dorset Heritage Coast, itself a magnet for fossil-hunters and shell-gatherers. For a local treat, walk or drive the short distance to Perry's Cider Mills, a craft business in a sweet thatched building, selling several different delicious flavours.
