Fives Court Cottage is a Grade II listed barn, originally built in the 17th & 18th centuries, near Yeovil on the Somerset-Dorset border, and sleeps 4. The cosy, two-bedroom cottage has a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and leather recliner settees, old exposed beams, and a fully equipped kitchen-diner. The barn is well known locally as a landmark because the east end is formed by a high wall which was once used for the ancient game of Wessex Fives. There is off-road parking for one car. It is an ideal base for walking with lots of circular walks, within reach of Stourhead with its world-famous garden and Montacute House. Nearby are the Roman Villa Museum, Villa Ventorum, and Gartell Light Railway, with Templecombe station 2.5 miles away.
