This property was once the stable. It is at the end of the main house (dating back to Tudor times) which is occupied by the owners. It is on the edge of the village, about ½ mile from the main road, a very rural setting.
Coxley is in the centre of Somerset, 20 – 25 miles from Bristol, Bath, Frome, Yeovil, Taunton and Weston-super-Mare, all of which are major tourist or cultural attractions. Being close to the Mendip Hills it is an excellent centre for walking, riding, cycling, golf…
Nearby are:
Wells (3 miles) – the smallest cathedral city in the country. The Cathedral is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all England’s cathedrals. For a truly unforgettable experience, go to weekday Evensong and hear one of the best choirs in the world in a tradition which is older than the Cathedral itself. Everyone is welcome – you don’t have to be a Christian. Ask us for details.
The Bishop’s Palace – fabulous mediaeval buildings and beautiful gardens containing the springs, or ‘wells’, after which the city is named, and which feed the moat surrounding the Palace, where the famous swans are, which ring a bell when they want to be fed.
Vicars’ Close – the oldest (c700 years) continuously-occupied street in Europe. Built to house the men of the Cathedral Choir who still live there today.
Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays throughout the year – a huge range of locally produced artisan and ‘ordinary’ foods, as well as books, antiques, clothes etc.
Glastonbury (4 miles) – famous for: the Tor (perfect view of it from here); the Abbey, a ruin since the time of Henry VIII; and the Festival (most years in June). This is a perfect place to stay for that if you don’t fancy camping and mud!
Street (6 miles) – where the famous Clarks Village is – factory outlets of over 90 stores at discount prices.
Also nearby: Wookey Hole Caves, Cheddar Gorge, Longleat Safari Park, National Trust properties - Stourhead, Montacute, Dyrham Park, Lytes Cary, Tyntesfield.
Very convenient for Millfield and Wells Cathedral Schools.
NB: We are next to a working dairy farm, so some noise from machinery etc must be expected. Flies can be a nuisance in hot weather.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2025
Property itself is a delight to stay in as it reflects its 400 yr old character. Very comfortable & well appointed. Hosts Richard & Jennifer are very friendly & helpful. Good location for exploring wider area in addition to many nearby attractions. Some folks maybe more “aware” of nearby farming activities than others.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2025
We loved this accommodation. The Old Stable conversation is tastefully layed out with fabulous views across farmland to The Tor in the distance. Very well equipped kitchen and comfortable living room and bed. Ingenious window system that allowed access to a small balcony. Richard welcomed us and explained how everything work. The location was perfect for Wells and Glastonbury and the surrounding areas. Maps were available to borrow and the hosts pointed out some key places we shouldn't miss such as the cathedral and the Bishops Palace. Would certainly stay here again.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2024
Lovely friendly and welcoming owners. Sadly, could not keep the windows open or use the balcony because of the flies, smell and noise of the farm. Very good kitchen facilities but no freezer, which limits food shopping and no way to make ice for drinks. Head height in bedroom and bathroom a problem for anyone tall and sofa uncomfortable to relax on if you want to watch TV. Convenient for driving to Wells, Glastonbury, Cheddar etc.
