Combe Head House is a smallholding and country retreat set on the edge of Somerset’s Blackdown Hills. At its heart is a historic house surrounded by gardens and meadows, with pigs, goats, sheep, ducks and hens. It is a place shaped by the seasons, where guests come to slow down, stay in thoughtfully restored cottages, and gather for intimate events, workshops and retreats rooted in nature, food and creativity. From the vegetable garden and smallholding, we produce as much of our own food as possible — eggs, pork, vegetables, herbs and fruit — served at our table for guests and gatherings. Our approach is simple and seasonal: growing, cooking and sharing what the land offers, and creating experiences that celebrate rural life, craft, and the pleasure of coming together.

What do you produce?

Eggs, pork, vegetables, herbs and fruits.

The accommodation at Combe Head House consists of two beautifully restored self-catering cottages set within the grounds of the historic estate. The Gatehouse is a spacious four-bedroom house that sleeps up to ten guests, ideal for larger family gatherings or groups of friends. The Stables offers three bedrooms and sleeps up to six, with a cosy, relaxed feel while still providing plenty of space to unwind. Both cottages blend period charm with comfort and thoughtful design—antique furniture, soft linens, warm textiles and well-equipped kitchens that make it easy to settle in and feel at home. Surrounded by gardens, meadows and the gentle rhythms of the smallholding, guests can wander the grounds, collect eggs, watch the animals, or swim in the spring-fed Victorian pond. It’s a peaceful, private place to stay—perfect for families, friends or small groups looking for relaxed, stylish country living in the Somerset countryside.
