Luxury self-catering accommodation in Ilminster

Ilminster holds a prime position in a verdant patch of Somerset right down in the south west of England, halfway between two coasts. Because it's so easily accessible by road, the location is perfect for weekenders seeking a break from the major towns and hoping to roam the local byways. 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 the town shows off its twinkly best with a sparkly display of Christmas lights: 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.
