If you want to rent a holiday home in an authentic pretty English country town with all the facilities you need, it would be hard to beat Yeovil. Nestled in the heart of Somerset, this small town is perfect for a peaceful retreat. The name just means ‘town on the river’, but no two Somerset towns are alike, and you’ll find that its character is unique. You can ramble for what seems like miles through the historic centre, passing many fine old buildings, and not passing up many shopping opportunities. You can even uncover the history of European aviation and explore the railways.

Getting around and places to see:

The nearest airport is Bristol (1hr away). It is easiest to travel around Yeovil by car however there are plenty of cycle routes and paths for walking so you can enjoy the surroundings at your own pace. There is also a train station in Yeovil (Yeovil Pen Mill). The nearest large city to Yeovil is Bath, but easily accessible cities are also Bristol, Cardiff, Taunton and Exeter. For another travel opportunity, Yeovil is also a stone’s throw away from Lyme Regis, a town noted for the fossils found in the cliffs and beaches, which are part of the Heritage Coast—known commercially as the Jurassic Coast—a World Heritage Site in England.

Entertainment and cultural highlights for the whole family:

Yeovil Railway Centre was formed in 1994 to preserve the original Southern Railway and is one of the best and most popular tourist attractions, especially amongst children.
