About this property

Resting on the outskirts of Failand, Somerset is Manor Farm House, a lovely, Grade II listed, stone-fronted home. Enjoying pretty gardens, a private swimming pond, an indulgent hot tub, and plenty of well-appointed living spaces, Manor Farm House also rests near a hub of amenities, attractions and the coast, making it a wonderful choice for a family of seven and their four-legged friend. Park up on the private driveway, taking in the grandeur of your new abode. Step indoors to be greeted by an inviting sitting room, complete with plush seating and a rustling woodburning stove to light on cooler evenings. The living/dining room also offers a welcoming space to unwind as a family, well-positioned near the fully-equipped kitchen/diner, where you can prepare meals and dine together. Bask in your surroundings by lighting the barbecue and setting the table located on the decked area, where you'll also find the hot tub and sweeping pond, perfect for a freshwater dip, or spend your afternoons strolling along the lawned areas, brimming with wild blooms and mature shrubs. End the evening with a film night in the second-floor games room, where you can also enjoy a competition of table tennis, before sloping off to sleep in one of four bedrooms. Select between a grand super-king-size with en-suite, a king-size, a twin, and a single with trundle, all serviced by a bathroom and two handy shower rooms. Awaken to a coffee in the garden before preparing to tour the area, with the National Trust grounds of Tyntesfield nearby to discover, Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, ideal for all of the family, and the National Trust Cadbury Camp Nature Reserve offering the perfect landscape for wildlife watching. Head towards the coast to visit the Portbury Wharf Nature Reserve, where you'll also find Portishead Beach and Marina for a beach day, whilst the city offers a plethora of museums, landmarks, and amenities to take advantage of, including the Brunel's SS Great Britain, Brandon Hill, Arnolfini Arts, and the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery. Enjoy your own escape to Somerset at Manor Farm House.

Failand is a delightful village located in Somerset, resting between Wraxall and Abbots Leigh in the Bristol region. Home to the Honey & Ginger - Local Village Store and Café, and The Failand Inn, also serving delicious pub fare, the village has all the essentials for visitors, whilst further amenities lie in the city itself. Golf fans will enjoy the selection of courses within the area, including Bristol & Clifton Golf Club and Long Ashton Golf Club, whilst further attractions include the National Trust country house of Tyntesfield, Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, and Oakham Treasures Museum. Bristol is brimming with all types of activities and landmarks to suit all visitors, from family days out at Bristol Aquarium, and tours of Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, to strolls alongside the riverfront, followed by the chance to turn back the clocks at the Underfall Yard Visitor Centre. The coast can also be reached from the village, with Portishead Beach, Ladye Bay, and Severn Beach all a car journey away.

    Great location to explore local attractions. Outdoor space & facilities were amazing, especially the pond pool, games room, trampoline & football nets. Only improvements would be hand towels, welcome pack on information on how to operate hot tub, arga and information on recycling & bins collection days.

    This is a beautiful house with a lovely garden in a beautiful location. We did swim in the freshwater pond and it really did add to the experience including the pond life. The games room was a great extra and we made good use of the table tennis table. Plenty of space downstairs for 8 people but I would say that the beds did not feel enough for 8 adults, the 4th room with the trundle bed would be better for children and we had to move the chest of drawers onto the landing to extend the trundle bed and leave room for 2 adults. This house is very much the owners home and it felt strange at first because very personalised. We loved the decor downstairs but again the upstairs was a bit too much like staying with a relative for a few nights particularly the 2 childrens rooms. No wardrobe space in the bedrooms except for the master where a space had been made among the owners belongings. Very little drawer space and many of the drawers were filled with clothing and underwear belonging to the owners children. I had the master suite which had a lovely bathroom and views of the garden. Im not sure my family were particularly impressed with their sleeping arrangements but were too polite to say as I had paid. Four bathrooms with great showers in all of them. We had a fabulous week in the house but there are improvements that could be made particularly upstairs

    I highly recommend this property. There were seven of us in our party, but there was ample room for all to be together, or to pursue individual interests. A very comfortable place.
