4What's this

It may have the air of a Tudor building, but the Grade II listed gate house at the entrance to Montacute House is actually a 19th-centure property. Built from local stone, this pretty holiday cottage has its own private garden leading on to the estate. 

Take advantage of free entry to Montacute House, and explore this fascinating building, a West Country outpost of the National Portrait gallery. Your stay at the Lodge helps us fund Montacute’s continuing preservation. It's a masterpiece of Elizabethan architecture and design, built at the end of the 16th century. It has one of the few remaining Elizabethan compartmentalised gardens, a cafe and a shop. There are orchards and waymarked walks through woodland and parkland on the wider estate, and Prospect Tower on the summit of St Michael's Hill, with views of the Somerset countryside.  

Take advantage of your proximity to other properties your support helps us to protect. Barrington Court, Lytes Cary and Tintinhull Gardens are all relatively close by. Also a short drive away is the mythical town of Glastonbury. Wander through its quaint streets, peruse the town’s eclectic shops and scale Glastonbury’s famous Tor.
