Lower Severalls Farmhouse

If bland and boring is your style, stay away. This place has loads of character, as do the mildly arty/bohemian couple who run it. We were still at the breakfast table at 10 am every morning, discussing South Africa before and after apartheid, the Middle East etc with other guests and our hosts. The building is a very old farmhouse, and the breakfast room is all old oak furniture, with a painted fabric picture that looks like a tapestry. Outside is a lovely garden (which you can sit in), with a slightly unkempt wild meadow feel, and the ancient farmhouse as backdrop. The farm (not a working farm) is in a quiet location, off a side road just outside the small town of Crewkerne. We stayed eight nights, and found plenty to keep us busy, visiting all the National Trust and other gardens in south Somerset, and also the Dorset coast from Lyme Regis to Abbotsbury. One day we went as far as Wells (loved the cathedral and Bishops' Palace). We are two ladies, friends not a couple, and we were most pleased with our very large room under the roof of a barn-like structure across the yard from the farmhouse. We had one large and one single bed, with a partition between them. The beds were very comfortable, and the sheets were changed half-way through our stay. The shower packed a punch, much more powerful than its rather old-fashioned appearance. There was a microwave and sink for washing-up cups and plates, so some days we were able to economise with supermarket ready-meals. The nearest restaurant was within easy walking distance just across the road. The food was good, although not very varied. Our breakfast at the farmhouse was excellent, with a good choice of cooked dishes.

Family trip and we had the three rooms for three nights. Each room is different: all good, full of character, large fluffy towels, good linen, bathrobes, comfortable beds. Enjoyed the welcome biscuits 😊. Choice of teas along with coffee on the hospitality tray. Mary the owner is very friendly and helpful, lots of recommendations for places to visit and eat. The garden is gorgeous and a pleasure to be in, plus there's a swing. This is a highlight and soothing to wander around. Loved Kune, the old pig. Mike has many a tale to tell and generous with his time, given it must be a busy schedule. Breakfast is good! Informal and friendly place. Great location with lots of local walks too. Fabulous nursery with an excellent range of herbs.

I have just stayed for the third time when visiting my father, and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. It's like a luxury home from home with every little detail catered for. The bed is supremely comfortable, linen and towels top notch, and the most delicious breakfast the following day. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

Lower severalls farm, is such a special place, and is the place that keeps on giving… It’s attached to a quaint garden nursery, which you have access to out of hours during your stay. We couldn’t resist buying some plants. So beautiful. The gardens were of a traditional style, which complemented the beautiful farm house. Stunning! Al covid rules were maintained, and as the weather was so good, we enjoyed eating breakfast outside, enjoying the garden. White tablecloths were laid, along with Mary’s China, and local sourced pottery. All foods were locally sourced, and cooked beautifully. Mike and Mary were amazing, making out stay so much fun. We will certainly return. Thankyou ❤️

Perfect from the moment I arrived, to my departure 4 days later. Mary and Mike were there to greet me and make me welcome. The converted granary was spacious and beautifully furnished. The bathroom had both a shower and a full size bath, the bed was super comfy and generous, ditto the sofa. Each morning I ate breakfast in the ultra-romantic garden..totally dreamy. It felt like stepping back in time, with the white table cloth spread over the large table and Mary and Mike bringing out my choice of delicious breakfast plates. The large garden was at my disposal during the day...plenty of areas to sit to read, doze, chat. A wild flower and herb nursery can be accessed form the garden, too! The surrounding areas have plenty of pubs etc. for good evening meals and there are plenty of options to fill your day (if you can drag yourself away from Lower Severalls!) This is such a find! Can't believe my luck. Thoroughly recommended. I will be back...thanks so much Mary and Mike!

A lovely, warm welcoming place fantastic host, lovely very clean room with warm comfortable mattress gorgeous breakfast. Having a new business in Merriott we come to stay Lower Severalls often now. Each time we come to stay Mary accommodate all our request . Everything about this place was delightful, fresh garden flowers dotted around the room. We would definitely recommend.

This was a fab stay in a beautiful spot with stunning gardens. Breakfast was incredible! Local ingredients brilliantly cooked and a treat to dine in the garden. Lovely spot from which to explore the Dorset coast too. Mike and Mary were great hosts and made some amazing recommendations of where to visit along the coast. Would highly recommend and we will look to stay again.
