LOCATION: Nightingale Cottage is located in picturesque countryside just outside the village of South Barrow. The nearest town is Castle Cary, characterised by period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey coloured stone for which the area is well known. It remains a delightful small market town with a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to prevent inappropriate development. These shops cater for most everyday needs whilst Shaftesbury, Bruton, Glastonbury, Street, Wells, Frome, Wincanton, Sherborne and Yeovil are all close by and Salisbury, Taunton, Bath and Bristol are in easy driving distance. The “Newt in Somerset” is short journey away, as is the fashionable town of Bruton, home to Hauser & Wirth Somerset, a pioneering world-class art gallery. On the outskirts of Castle Cary is the railway station with its direct line to London Paddington.
There are excellent schools for children of all ages within easy driving distance, both state and independent. Hazelgrove Prep school is a short walk away, and Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, Strode college and the Sherborne and Bruton Schools are all within easy reach.
