Set in the picturesque village of Somerton and nestled in a large secluded garden, the apartments offer a relaxing private getaway and a wonderful base from which to explore Somerset and all it's intriguing history, natural beauty and National Trust properties. The Mount comprises of two newly renovated, spacious, sunny apartments, each on their own level, in an individual wing of this Georgian/Victorian Manor house. You will be welcomed on arrival by your hosts,Trish and Henry and then have access to your apartment through your own private entry. Offering 2 individual, fully self-contained apartments, The Mount Apartments provides the perfect home away from home. Hazelwood Apartment, on the first floor, has a spacious dining room/kitchen featuring a stylish breakfast bar with spectacular views over the garden, a large separate bedroom and modern fully tiled bathroom with underfloor heating. Beechwood Apartment comprises of the whole of the second floor and has a separate snug/tv room, a spacious kitchen/dining room with gorgeous views over the countryside and large bedroom with a king bed that also overlooks the garden and fields beyond. The bathroom is fully tiled and offers both bath and shower and under floor heating.
Hello! We are Trish and Henry and we welcome you to the Mount Somerton Apartments. We have made The Mount our home for the past 12 years having moved to the UK from New Zealand. For 8 years we ran the property as a highly popular B&B but during the pandemic we decided to change direction and spent a year renovating the accommodation wing resulting in the 2 fabulous apartments Beechwood and Hazelwood. We are excited for you to enjoy your own private apartment and gardens at The Mount. One of the charms of Beechwood and Hazelwood is that you are enjoying a totally tranquil setting with panoramic rural views, yet you are only a couple of minutes' flat stroll in to Somerton’s picturesque market square. This is a thriving village, with its 17th century Buttercross, a church with origins dating back 800 years, and many independent shops. We have a range of places to eat. We look forward to welcoming you.
The Mount is a perfect base for sightseeing South Somerset: Glastonbury Tor, the spectacular Wells cathedral, the Bishops Palace and moat, the Ham Wall RSPB nature reserve, and several National Trust properties are all within easy reach. So too is the popular Clarks Village outlet in Street. Your self contained apartment is a level stroll of about 400 metres to the centre of the charming small town of Somerton, with its 17th century Buttercross market square and several excellent pubs for food
