Luxury cottages and sprawling manor houses in the heart of rural Somerset

Dillington Estate

Somerset holidays in homely, cosy and luxurious holiday cottages, within the magnificent Dillington Estate

Escape to luxury with our Somerset holidays. Deep in the heart of the glorious Somerset countryside, the sought-after Dillington Estate offers quintessential British luxury, through a selection of exceptional holiday cottages and a sprawling Manor House. With over 3,000 acres of rolling fields, pretty woodland and scenic farmland, the estate hails back to the 16th-century, nurtured under the watchful eye of the same family for over 200 years.

Steeped in history, the impressive Dillington House once played host to the Duke of Monmouth (pre-pitchfork rebellion), addressing an audience of over 200 beneath the shade of an ancient chestnut tree, the trunk of which still graces the gardens today.

Through our Somerset holidays we're able to offer stays in a collection of heavenly holiday homes, comprising of three, picture-perfect thatched cottages, sumptuously renovated with the finest furnishings and hidden along quiet country lanes. There is also the grade-II listed Whitelackington Manor, complete with manicured lawns for picnicking beneath the summer sun, a heated outdoor pool, tennis courts and a grand drawing room that seats 20 for indulgent dinners.

Fill your days with bracing country walks through the estate, stopping only to fill up on hearty lunches and local tipples at the friendly pubs, or head out a little further to explore the breadth of Somerset and the Jurassic Coast beyond. On chillier evenings, bring out your competitive side with a classic board game in front of the log-burning fire or try your hand at mulling cider from a local orchard.
