Inside, the kitchen-dining room has been refurbished, and has beautiful flagstone floors. With plenty of worktop space and a dining table to seat four, it is very well-equipped with electric oven and hob, washer-dryer, dishwasher, kettle toaster and microwave. The living room is wonderfully homely and welcoming with a wood-burning stove, leather recliner sofas and freeview TV, perfect to relax and unwind after a day of exploring in the fresh air. There is also an additional table and chairs in the living room, great for jigsaws, crosswords and poring over the OS map planning the next days route! Stairs from the living room lead to the first floor, where the cosy bedrooms have a lovely cottage feel with old exposed beams and sloping ceilings. The master bedroom has a king size bed, and the second has two singles. The bathroom is also up on the first floor and has a full size bath with an electric shower over. The cottage is situated in the courtyard opposite the owner's house, where there a picnic bench on the gravelled area to sit out and enjoy the afternoon sun, and also off-road parking for one car. The gate to the road can be closed if needed, for the safety of young children. There is also a selection of pets including chickens, rare breed Zwartbles sheep and Shetland ponies, which the owners will happily take guests across the fields to see. The high wall on the cottage end has given Fives Court its name, being historically used to play the ancient ball game of Fives, and is one of only six remaining walls from such an early date across all of Somerset and Dorset. The village of North Cheriton is a designated conservation area, and is an ideal base for walking with lots of circular walks straight from the door using country lanes and footpaths. The two closest pubs are The Old Inn at Holton, which is a very pleasant 3/4 mile walk and is dog friendly, and The White Horse, which is a short drive at approx a mile away. The small town of Wincanton is only 3 miles away and has supermarkets, a post office, pubs, restaurants, and a wide selection of take-aways. The larger town of Yeovil is roughly 12 miles distant. Local attractions include the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton, Haynes Motor Museum at Sparkford, and Shaftesbury with the famous Gold Hill. The market town of Sherborne, with its Abbey and two Castles, is just 6 miles away. Many events such as Sherborne Country Fair, a Classic Car Show, and a Firework Extravaganza are held in the grounds of the new Sherborne Castle. There are many National Trust properties in the area including Stourhead with its world-famous 18th century garden, Montacute House, Lytes Cary Manor, and Barrington Court. At Longleat, there is the famous safari park as well as a beautiful stately home and garden. Close by are Wincanton Racecourse, and also the apple orchards and gardens of the Newt in Somerset.

The lovely owners - Mr and Mrs Martin - ensure that everything is provided and are wonderful hosts. We especially enjoyed the wood burner on these chilly October evenings! Fives Court is in a great location with plenty of attractions nearby. There is also a supermarket with a café a couple of miles away which we found incredibly handy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fives Court and would not hesitate to stay again ##### Tamara Maria This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eva 6 Oct 2024 #### A cozy place home from home. The history and character of the “Fives Court Cottage” the location of the property (everything and everywhere just 20-30 mins away) and the very kind owners right there, if you needed anything! PET FRIENDLY … absolute essential for us! We found really everything we could possibly want for the short stay. The kitchen was very well equipped. The lounge really cosy with its log burner and our beds were very comfy. We are looking forward to going back there in the near future. Proximity and traffic noise from a busy road. ##### Eva This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emilie 24 Nov 2024 #### Typical cottage, very pleasant. Well equipped for cooking, super comfortable beds. Walks nearby and from the cottage, tourist information of all types (walks and hikes information, slow tourism book, commercial brochures, etc.). Very complete equipment to accommodate a baby. There is a busy road just behind the cottage. The noise didn't bother us, but you have to be careful with your dog. The house is quite dark. ##### Emilie This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron 30 Oct 2023 #### Just what we wanted Very friendly owners. Relaxing cottage Don’t send a text on the morning the customer is leaving, reminding them to leave the cottage clean and to leave on time, threatening to take the security deposit. It left me with a bad feel about your company. I wouldn’t necessarily book with you again. Surely you would prefer repeat bookings even if there is the odd person leaving late. ##### Ron This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### SIMON 13 Dec 2022 #### A relaxing peaceful short break in Somerset We had a wonderful time at this property. The cosy and comfortable cottage was an ideal respite from busy city life. All of the living areas were nicely furnished and very condusive to relaxing, watching TV or reading. The combined kitchen and dining room provided more than enough space to cook and eat together. Our hosts were friendly but not intrusive. The local countryside, places of interest, pubs and restaurants provided many interesting and enjoyable times spent away from the cottage. We would definitely stay here again. The parking space was difficulty to maneouvre in and out of, but this was a small issue and did not impact on the enjoyment of our stay at all. It just made my father anxious as my car was only a couple of months old! ##### SIMON This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 25 Jul 2022 #### Very friendly hosts, characterful, comfortable cottage in a great location for local attractions Very friendly hosts, characterful, comfortable cottage in a great location for local attractions. ##### Richard This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline 5 Jul 2022 #### Lovely cottage, in a beautiful part of Somerset Lovely cottage, in a beautiful part of Somerset.
