Lytes Cary

Somerton, Somerset

Stay in a house so well-preserved, you’ll feel as though you have stepped back in time. This extravagant seven-bedroom stay occupies the west wing of the 14th-century house, Lytes Cary Manor, where dark wood-panelled walls, fine period furnishings and grand bedrooms run throughout. Perfect for those special family get-togethers, the house has multiple sitting rooms, a formal dining area and views over the well manicured gardens.

Enjoy all of the gardens hidden gems followed by a refreshement in the tea-room next door. Guests are invited to explore the garden ‘after-hours’ when all the visitors have left. Walk even further through the extensive parkland which will lead you along the River Cary. 

A short drive away is the mythical town of Glastonbury. Wander through its quaint streets, peruse the town’s eclectic shops and scale Glastonbury’s famous Tor. Montacute House and Barrington Court are both within a 30 minutes’ drive from here.
