Overview

Now, after its stunning renovation the house has been transformed into an immaculate four-bedroom home with a loft-style, open-plan kitchen and dining room.

Each bedroom is designed and furnished to the highest standard and all have their own en-suites. The living / entertainment space features exposed roof trusses with bi-fold doors which open outside to a large, paved terrace and floral garden where you’ll find a dining set, outdoor lounge suite and BBQ. A wood-fired hot-tub sits on the garden’s top tier and has views across the orchard to the woods beyond. The Estate’s parkland surrounds the house, offering easy access to miles of footpaths to explore the Somerset countryside.

Little Bank overlooks the parkland around Dillington House and there is a footpath immediately outside the property, offering a wide choice of walks right on your doorstep. There is a farmshop a minute’s walk from the house, with a deli-counter for anything you might be missing, and fresh barista coffee for a full-flavoured caffeine boost.

Great 4 day break

We were 4 couples and Little Bank suited us perfectly. Great location. Lovely walks. Only thing we didnt have and would have liked was Mirrors in bedrooms.

Fabulous stay.
5/5

Treated the family to a stay at Little Bank. Six adults, a teen and baby. Everyone was blown away with this gorgeous house with its luxurious beds and bathroomsnot to mention the beautiful large wood fired hot tub perfect for a dip under the stars. We came to Somerset to explore this beautiful county but had trouble getting anyone to leave for the day as they were so content with staying at the house. The kitchen was superbly equipped and a lovely complimentary Victoria sponge and biscuits (which were promptly devoured) along with milk, tea and coffee welcomed us upon arrival. A perfect luxurious house for quality family time. Thank you!
