Tintinhull House Holiday Cottage Opens

Stay at a fabulous National Trust Garden Cottage
An elegant National Trust holiday cottage is opening early this month at one of the most beautiful but undiscovered gardens in the Trust's care, Tintinhull House near Yeovil in Somerset.

Visitors to Tintinhull House will not only feel like the lord and lady of the manor; they can also enjoy spectacular views over the elaborate network of gardens and explore its glories 'out of hours'.

The serene garden for which Tintinhull is famous is divided into different 'rooms' including an azalea garden, a fountain garden and kitchen garden.

The four-bedroom cottage for eight people retains many of its original features. There are leaded windows and the kitchen is dominated by a huge Aga. A large open fire is the centrepiece of the sitting room.
