About this apartment rental
Tucked away from the tumult of everyday life, this idyllic waterside retreat is set within an exclusive family estate and offers you a chance to relax and recharge.
A gorgeous multi-purpose living space opens up onto an over-water deck on the ground floor. You'll find a covered day bed for lazy days lounging in the sun, an outdoor dining table for lakeside lunches and a rowing boat bobbing nearby.
Back inside, the compact kitchen is kitted out with everything you might need for a self-catered stay. At the same time, a spacious bathroom boasts a rainfall shower, stylish zellige tiles and a chandelier hanging over the freestanding Italian stone tub.
Ascend the spiral staircase up into the pitched roof, where your hosts have found space for a king-size bed. Waking up to the sound of birdsong as you look out across the lake is worth the price of admission alone.
Away from your lakeside haven, the increasingly cool town of Bruton is just a six-minute drive away – head here for an artistic air, independent boutiques and fancy places to eat. Alternatively, hike through the nearby hills to the 160ft-tall King Alfred's Tower for unparalleled views.
Home truths:
*Check yourself in on arrival with the lockbox
*We'd recommend a car to explore the area – there's on-site parking available
*Fishing is by permission, as is the use of the rowing boat
*The home is set in the grounds of your host's home, so it's not totally secluded
*It's a very peaceful location but the lake's wildlife can be noisy at times
*Taller guests should note that the bed is located on a mezzanine level with limited headroom – it's only accessible via a steep spiral staircase
*Mobile phone reception can be patchy in the area, so make sure to download the details before you arrive
*The garden is a bit wild and could do with some pruning
