Thatched Holiday Cottage near Yeovil, Somerset
Kents Cottage, Lower Odcombe, Yeovil, Somerset
Odcombe
- Not really odd,
- and not really much of a combe…
What it actually is, is:
Kent’s Cottage, which is:
- A dream holiday, like my Beach Hut experience, but different.
- An old thatched terraced cottage with a unique, traditional olde-worlde feel.
- In the picturesque little village of Lower Odcombe, Somerset.
- Far from the madding crowd, but close enough to it to be handy.
Masons Arms Food
A Country Gift of Traditional Pleasure!
Why not try Kent’s Cottage, in Lower Odcombe near Yeovil in the cider county of Somerset, a fabulous chocolate box of a place, close to the Masons Arms which does fantastic gourmet food and their own beer… But not too close …! (..if you know what I mean)
Cottage Description
The Living Room
The Log Fire
If you would like to get away from the hurly-burly of the city and have a countryside village break, this is the perfect setting.
It’s only 3 miles from the convenience of the pleasant yet busy market town of Yeovil, so is the best of both worlds!
A Double Bedroom
The cottage belongs to my very special friends and they have made it absolutely perfect.
- It has two bedrooms and comfortably sleeps four.
Fully Fitted Kitchen
- It has a fully equipped modern kitchen, plus the added benefits of the olde-worlde charm of a thatched roof, the exposed beams and a huge log fire to keep you warm in the coldest of winters.
The Secluded Garden From the Cottage
The secluded garden is equipped with seating for you and your guests to wine and dine using the quick-fire gas barbecue.
- It’s centrally heated in addition to the log fire in the living room.
- The bathroom has a w.c. and a lovely hot shower.
Recommendations!
4 Star Accommodation!
We have stopped over New Year and can vouch that it is all so comfortable, a special little treat. Winter was cosy, but it’s good – for any time of the year!!!
The Cottage Garden in Snow
Check out their web site, the many walks and interesting local excursions.
There are old curios & history, old forts, the Yeovilton Air Museum and Air Day – so many places to visit and see. King Arthur’s legend starts with some related history near here (Cadbury, Glastonbury), as well as King Alfred the Great, the only “Great” monarch England and the UK has ever had.
Strangely Recommends!!
We can especially recommend the local pub, the Masons Arms, handily just 50 yards away, especially it’s own microbrewed ales!!!

The kitchen is fully equipped with hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, one double and one twin bedded. The rear bedroom looks out over fields where you might see horses or even llamas! There is a small bathroom incorporating a toilet, shower and basin.

The garden has also been landscaped and now includes split-level patios, providing outdoor eating and a shaded arbour seating area. There is a gas BBQ at the rear of the garden. Two sun loungers are provided for relaxing in the sun and the arbour seating is ideal for quiet reading or simply enjoying a glass of wine.
The Masons Arms in snow
Odcombe is a quaint village with a thatched pub and farm shop. The Mason’s Arms, with its micro brewery, is renowned for its wonderful food and home brewed ales and is an enticing 50 metre stroll from the cottage.
