Baker's Arms Holiday Cottages
South Perrott, Dorset
This is an owners own site, run by Richard and Mary Torrens.
Dog (and cat) friendly holiday cottages in West Dorset.
The Bakers Arms used to be a pub until 1957. It is now a private house, with a large garden astride the river Parrett. The photo (right) shows the house as you approach from Crewkerne.
In the courtyard at the rear is a row of buildings, visible on the left in the second photo.
Two of these buildings are holiday cottages which are open for bookings.:
- Dog friendly
- The cottages are dog friendly. The River Parrett runs through the gardens of over 2 acres which are full of smells to interest your dog.
- Gardens
- The 2 acre grounds are open for visitors. They are mainly open woodland and very peaceful - forgive the noisy birds! However they have been a little under-valued for the past 20 years so we have had much to do to restore former glory. Volunteer gardeners especially welcome!
- Most of the garden was once a quarry - probably in medieval times.
- Local walks and places to visit
- Many walks are being illustrated in detail on our walks web site. Lists of other attractions are accessed via the places TAB at top. We also have prepared a few leaflets describing interesting places to walk.
South Perrott
is a small picture-book village 2½ miles south east of Crewkerne. It is in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is an ideal base for exploring West Dorset, South Somerset (1 mile) and East Devon (12 miles). The River Parrett Trail passes through the village and past The Baker's Arms. There are footpaths from the village to Mosterton, Chedington, North Perrott (all 3 have pubs!) and further. The Monarch's Way passes as close as 2Km.
Visitors are welcome to discuss days out, scenic drives, places to visit etc. with us. If we don't know we will do our best to find out!
