About this property

Barn conversion ,waterside, rural views, Approx 11 miles - Bath, 6 miles - Frome

This purpose built holiday cottage was designed with sociable holidays in mind, the open plan living & kitchen provides a space where you can all to be together to chat while cooking & relaxing, but you can also retreat to the spacious bedrooms or spend time in the garden, field or games shed for peace and quiet. Over the years we have welcomed many family groups who are multi-generational and the cottage has worked well for them.

There is level access from the parking area and a ground floor bedroom and shower room for those who prefer to avoid stairs. The kitchen is well equipped, Bed linen, towels and utilities are included. Storage area for Bikes.

Overlooking our fields and the leat of the Mells river, this is a perfect property for a restful holiday within a short drive from many of this areas visitor attractions. Bath, Frome, Longleat, Cheddar Gorge & Caves, the cathedral city of Wells and Glastonbury, National Trust properties, Hauser & Wirth are all a short drive away.

We have separated part of the field in front of the cottage for your use, this is surrounded by the stream on one side and the small river on the other boundary, the grass is mown in the middle leaving a wild flower border of a few metres around the edge, perfect to sit by the water and read a book, the mown area is a great place to play games, picnic or just enjoy the open space with your family.

We have our herd of goats living right by the property, they have their own fenced, private area that we ask you not to go in but they are great to watch while they graze and witness how they interact with one another and will come to see you over the fence.

Lovely stay
Leat Cottage is well equipped and comfortable and in a lovely peaceful location. We had a small problem in the property and Andrea was there almost immediately to sort it. Couldn’t ask for anymore. Would definitely recommend if you want a friends/family holiday in the Bath area.

The Perfect Setting
Absolutely lovely cottage in the most breathtaking setting. There were so many little extras Andrea had thought of - soap and handcream in all the bathrooms, fresh flowers, brilliant welcome pack with everything needed for a 1st breakfast if you hadn't got to the shops on the way down. The setting was just perfect, you could watch the goats through a floor to ceiling window which looked directly into their field. Small stream at the front of the garden, bigger river fenced off at the back which I saw horses coming down to have a drink in. The games shed is an undersold bonus with so many outdoor games to keep the young (and older) guests entertained!! Parking is right by the cottage so couldn't be easier to unpack. Rooms are spotlessly clean and spacious. The pictures are fabulous but the reality is even better. Thank you so much for having us Andrea, I'm sure we'l be back!

Perfect!
We loved our stay at Leat Cottage! The cottage is surrounded by pastures with footpaths that tske you to the pub or into the village. A beautiful, peaceful location. The pigmy goats were a real delight. We enjoyed watching them interact with each other. To find the location, simply put in the postcode and it will take you right to it.

Fantastic Holiday Home
Absolutely amazing holiday home, it's set in a lovely location. The house was spotless when we arrived. Coffee, tea, milk etc. was waiting for us. There was an assortment of very good quality shampoo, body lotions etc. included. The house itself is really comfortable in-fact it was so comfortable we were quite happy to relax there. Andrea is a very warm and friendly person and obviously wants to make your stay a pleasant as possible. We would definitely go back. Probably the best holiday home we have ever stayed at. Thank you.

This cottage was in a lovely quiet location with no traffic or light pollution and we all loved seeing the goats wander past the window each day . The cottage was well equipped with a large living space and really good sized bedrooms , especially on the 2nd floor . The owner , Andrea (/who lives nearby ) is very helpful and friendly and went to great lengths to provide a good welcome pack and was always on hand if you needed help in anyway .

Perfect property
The accommodation was immaculate and had everything we needed, gorgeous property. Large living space, large bedrooms, beautiful bathrooms. It is such a lovely setting, uninterrupted views from the living room. The games shed was an added bonus for us and our children and my 10 year old loved watching the goats trot past the window first thing in the morning. Lots to do in the area for all ages and take aways, pubs and shops all near by. We definitely highly recommend.

Perfect for a relaxing getaway
We have just returned from a week's stay at Leat's Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The accommodation is bright and airy and overlooks lovely countryside in a very peaceful setting. The property was exceptionally clean, and well equipped, and the beds were very comfortable. There was always plenty of hot water for showers and baths. There is plenty of off road parking space right outside the house. The owner, Andrea, is very helpful and answered lots of my pre-arrival questions very promptly. When we arrived, there was a lovely welcome pack of milk, coffee, tea and other items, and Andrea came to check that everything was ok. She was also very helpful in suggesting places to visit with tips on parking locations. The location of this cottage is great for walking, there are footpaths all around the village, leading to neighbouring villages. We did some lovely walks without having to drive anywhere first. It's also perfect for visiting attractions in the area. We visited Bath, and also Wells, which is really worth a visit to see the beautiful Cathedral and Bishops Palace Gardens. We also went cycling and had a nice ride along the canal towpath from Bradford upon Avon to Bathampton. This route continues onto Bath, where you can take the track (disused railway) from Bath to Bristol. The owners keep friendly pygmy goats in the nearby fields, and we took great delight in feeding them a daily portion of chopped up carrots and apples! We were blessed with the most amazing weather, having sunshine and temperatures around 17 degrees every day in March was incredible. We were sad to leave, but can highly recommend this place and hopefully we will return one day.

Amazing! 5*
Stunning property and the host Andrea is very friendly and helpful! Answered all our queries prior to and during our stay. Andrea also took in our food delivery when we were delayed on our first day which was greatly appreciated. The property itself was spotless and had everything we needed for a relaxing, comfortable stay. Our daughters loved the goats so much that they now would like a pet goat! Ideally located for visiting Longleat Safari Park, Bath, Shelton Mallet Prison and Wookey Hole. Also has lovely local walks with a pub/shop in the village. We had a lovely holiday at Leat Cottage with memories to last a lifetime. Thank you!

Wonderful property in beautiful location
The property is in a most peaceful and beautiful spot in the Somerset countryside with loads of walks to do from the door. It is surrounded by fields and the goats make for constant lively entertainment that you can watch through the large picture windows. It is a very pleasant place to 'just be' with ample room for 6 people in a large living room and 3 sizeable bedrooms. It has everything one could need to make one's stay comfortable, including good sized comfortable beds, an excellant shower and an ouside seating area. Andrea is a friendly and very helpful host who providied us with spare bedding without a quibble when we foolishly left one of the velux windows open and it poured. Thank you for providing such a great holiday spot for us all. I'm sure we'll be back. Alison and Jo

Absolutely perfect
Just enjoyed a fantastic half-term week at this property. Andrea, the host is great and very responsive to messages and queries. We arrived to a beautifully clean house and great provisions, it was more like a hotel than holiday home with made beds, tea/coffee etc and hand soap, not to mention the lovely flowers and breakfast provisions. The facilities are amazing, the kids loved the games shed and huge play field. The goats are such an added enjoyment and we adored watching babies leap and chase about! We fed the older ones carrot and apple (as advised) and they were so gentle and loved a little scratch on the nose. The house is close to many days out, we visited Bristol, Farleigh castle, Wookey Hole, the local leisure centres for Soft Play and Swimming and the Holcombe Inn was a brilliant recommendation from Andrea for a 'posh' but child friendly meal out. I genuinely cant think of anything negative to say about this gorgeous house, the children cried when we left and my husband wants to buy it ;-) Thank you so much for making out first holiday after covid a truly perfect one.

Completely exceeded our expectations!
Leat cottage is by far the best countryside property we have ever stayed at! The cleanliness was superb and all the little touches and amenities made it really special. Andrea is a fantastic host and such a lovely person who made us feel extremely welcome and at home straight away. Andrea left us a lovely welcome hamper with tea, coffee, scones, clotted cream and jams etc. We also asked if she had a barbecue, which she initially didn't but then the purchased one for the cottage! The outside space is incredible and vast; there were games such as badminton, a football, frisbee, giant jenga etc, which kept us entertained. The goats were extremely entertaining and we all enjoyed getting to know their personalities over the week. Overall, leat cottage was the perfect staycation and we can't wait to go back ASAP!! 5 stars all around!!

We stayed at Leat cottage and welcomed in the new year. The property was just perfect with everything we needed. The goats, sheep and chickens were a huge hit with us all.(3 generations) Andrea was very welcoming and easy to contact throughout the booking process. If you are looking for peace, tranquility and stunning views then this is the place. Would definitely recommend Leat cottage, well worth a visit.

Fabulous home. The goats were icing on the cake!
Beautiful home. Our group of 6 were very comfy. House had everything you need for simple meal prep and laundry. Place was immaculate. Andrea had sweets and some basic food staples on hand for us. But the goats in the yard were a highlight. Our kids just loved the "kids"! The wifi was a bit a slow with 6 of us and our US phones lost service in this remote spot. But it was worth it.I would recommend this rental in a heartbeat. It gave us adventure, quiet and a haven from the real world.

Lovely Stay at Leat Cottage
The Leat Cottage at Hippys Farm is a lovely contemporary cottage in a traditional style and setting. It is very well equipped , warm, light and spacious. It is in the depths of the Mendip countryside, and so quiet alongside the Leat, surrounded by the streams and fields and woodlands of the farm. A family of friendly little goats wander through the garden and the field, and provide lots of entertainment. We enjoyed the many footpaths and countryside walks from the door. The owners are most helpful and friendly, and a pleasure to have nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Love

Host profile image
My husband Vic and I share the farmhouse with our family, we live on the same site as Leat Cottage so near enough if you need us, far enough away to give you the privacy for a holiday without us. We have been welcoming guests to Hippys Farm since 2008. We spend our time here growing fruit & vegetables, keeping a few sheep and a small herd of pygmy goats, definitely more a lifestyle choice rather than business venture but we love this place and hope you will too.

Why they chose this property

We built Leat Cottage as a holiday let and have been running it since it was finished in 2008. Our location has the benefit of being within a short drive of many of the best tourist attractions in the area, these include Bath, Frome, Longleat, Stourhead, Wells, Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury and Bruton.
The cottage is designed to provide a peaceful place to return to after days out or if you prefer its a lovely location in its own right to simply watch the wildlife, the goats and hide from the world.

What makes this property unique

Outside space to play games or just sit and relax at the waterside
Gates around your own parking area.
Goats and wildlife to watch
Feels like you're in the country but near enough to towns and cities for days out.
