Description

Rosewall is a unique listed Arts and Crafts farmhouse built in the early 1920’s by the architects Forbes and Tate as part of the Lyle family's restoration of Barrington Court. Having Barrington Court as its nearest neighbour gives the house a unique feel. The day time guests do not come down our drive and, when sitting in the garden behind the house, you are fully shielded from life at the Court. However you can wander over to the National Trust restaurant and café or their plant stalls; stroll along the drives and footpaths; explore the orchards and parkland. Members will be able to visit the gardens designed by Gertrude Jekyll, as well as join in Easter egg hunts and other family activities. There are workshops situated at the far end of the avenue making furniture, pottery, woodwork and jewellery; as well as a National Trust book barn.

There are miles of foot paths to wander along and the lanes offer plenty of opportunities for all levels of cycling: flat rides along the levels or steeper challenges if you venture south or east to Ham Hill. It's ideal for family or group cycling.
Our favourite beaches in the area are Lyme Regis and Eype near Bridport; both in Dorset and on the Jurassic coast and less than an hour away.
Barrington village has an award winning gastro pub called the Barrington Boar. There’s a more traditional village pub in Shepton Beauchamp – an easy walk over the hill behind the cricket pitch. There’s Perry’s Cider Mills in Dowlish Wake – you can buy cider and local produce as well as a light lunch; Brown & Forrest smokery in Hambridge; Somerset Cider Brandy and Burrow Hill cider are made at Burrow Hill farm - you can see Burrow Hill with its landmark tree from the garden.
There are specialist butchers – Bonners in Ilminster; A J Winter in Shepton Beauchamp.
The Trading Post organic farm shop, which you may pass as you arrive from A303, sells a wide range of organic produce and also boasts a fine cafe/restaurant.

There are golf courses in Sherborne, Yeovil, Long Sutton, Wheathill.

Stunning welcoming house on a beautiful estate

By Lucy Haywood on 20-Sep-2024

We were so fortunate to stay in this wonderful house with so much history around it. The house itself was beautifully built and maintained in the arts and crafts style, and very warm and homely even for just the two of us (and the dog). The gardens were lovely to sit in on a sunny day, there were lots of varied routes to walk and it was great to be able to visit the nearby National Trust site which was on our doorstep. It all felt like a home from home, totally safe and secure, and we could really have just spent the week without leaving the grounds and been perfectly happy. Loads of books to read and some games to play. We would highly recommend this house and the surrounding areas.

A wonderful Christmas stay

By Charlotte UK on 29-Dec-2023

We had a beautiful week''s stay at Julia''s home - everything about the house was comfortable, pristine, and well thought through - the Christmas decorations were a fantastic touch. Julia was so helpful in the run up to our stay, and would highly recommend Barrington to anyone looking for a peaceful time away from it all. We loved the many walks around the estate and a lunch at the Barrington Boar local pub. Many thanks for a wonderful stay - we very much hope to be back!

Most perfect place for us

By Anna-Marie on 25-Sep-2023

We had a fabulous stay at Julia''s wonderful house. The bedrooms were very comfortable and had fabulous views over the estate. The dining room and kitchen was great for our family reunion/birthday celebrations and had all the amenities we needed for cooking. There were plenty of bathrooms for us all without any of us getting each other''s way and nicely designed and plenty of towels and quality hand wash. We managed to enjoy the outdoor areas too and wow what views! Having the TV room as well as the lounge meant those that wanted some peace and quiet could read in the lounge and the others could watch the rugby and be as noisy as they wanted to. It was the most perfect place for us and we all really didn''t want to leave.
