About this house rental
Perfect for gatherings of family/friends, retreats/courses. (Sorry, no parties). Total seclusion and privacy. Unrivalled views to Glastonbury Tor and Camelot. Not a soulless hotel but a quirky home from home with beautiful rooms, a dramatic dining room seating 20, open fires, central heating, and large fully kitted farmhouse kitchen. The grounds include 2 lakes for wild swimming, boating, paddle boarding and picnics, and a yurt for BBQs/cocktails or teenage sleepovers. Firepits and outside dining areas and loungers. We can recommend our chef or house stylist for special celebrations and we can facilitate baby sitting or full staffing. As well as our regular cancellation policy, we will give 100% refund for short notice cancellations due to covid restrictions and we will shift the dates if there has been another crisis meaning the gathering is no longer possible on the dates booked.

This was the perfect venue for our family holiday and special celebration. Although the weather wasn't as good as hoped, the house and grounds had so much to offer that nobody became bored (even the teenagers). Contact with the owners, Amanda & Charlie, and with the housekeeper, Ola, was excellent and we were really made to feel welcome and at home. We just wish we could have stayed longer. If we could give it 11 out of 10 we certainly would.

New Park Farm was a perfect location for our family’s weekend break together. The property is stunning and surrounded by beautiful and peaceful countryside. There was ample space for for our large family group and the house is perfectly equipped to provide all the essentials you might need, as well as a range of fun things to do including games, books, table football and table tennis. Something for everyone. The views all around the house are fabulous so we were able to enjoy these outside in the sunshine. Ola, whose cottage is nearby, welcomed us very warmly on arrival and gave us a detailed and helpful overview of the house to get us settled and she remained on hand for the duration of our stay to help with any questions we had. Communication with Amanda and Charlie through the booking process was very easy and they couldn’t have been more helpful providing quick responses to emails and helpful advice and tips for our stay. I would highly recommend this property. We will certainly come back!! Thank you

A perfect three day half-term break for grandparents, parents and six children. A big thank you to Charlie and Amanda for their help and to Ola, who was always on hand if we needed anything. The house is amazing. Warm, welcoming and very well equipped. Five stars is definitely not enough!

Excellent family holiday home. Lovely to find it so well stocked with everything that was needed for a large party of mixed ages staying for a week. We enjoyed dining in style, table tennis and sauna, walks around the farm, rowing on the lakes and visits to local places of interest. We did particularly appreciate the help during our stay from the welcoming property manager.

We had a delightful week at New Park Farm. The house is beautifully situated with long views over the surrounding countryside and attractive gardens - many swallows were nesting when we stayed. The teenagers enjoyed the wild swimming, even in cool weather. The house is extremely comfortable and feels very home-like, with family pictures and possessions.

Incredible week is a wonderful location!!
We had a glorious week from start to finish. Swam in the lakes everyday and the weather allowed us to make use of the beautiful garden, BBQ etc Cannot rate this property highly enough and Amanda and Charlie were perfect hosts whilst their housekeeper Ola looked after us all so well. We had everything we needed for a perfect week with friends, and even the recommended catering was fantastic! We will be returning next year!

An Idyllic Haven
Our family wanted to have a respite from everyday life and relax together in blissful comfort. We could not have chosen a better, more peaceful setting for just that. The house is quite simply, sublime and literally wrapped us in a giant, heart-warming hug. It is beautifully and exceptionally-well appointed. Everything we could possibly have needed was on hand.
The owners; Amanda and Charlie and their wonderful caretaker Ola, were tremendously attentive and caring, yet inconspicuous - perfect hosts.
5 stars is insufficient rating for this wonderful, enchanting place.

Totally charming and spacious house and grounds
We were a family group of 12 (aged 21 to 88) and had a most happy and trouble free stay in this uniquely charming house and grounds. All the internal facilities and accommodation were way above any normal expectations, and the help and support at check-in, check-out and in between were superb. We were all left with a feeling of gratitude and (I have to say) privilege for having had the opportunity to spend time in this wonderful little world.

Enjoyable stay
The property is a large family home in its own grounds with beautiful views to distant hills. All amenities are provided at the property with a caretaker on site. The property is surrounded by countryside, so is very peaceful, although there are some nice pubs nearby. Would recommend it.
