| Description | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This holiday rental property is within easy reach of Bath, Bristol, Glastonbury, Wells, Salisbury and all of the main Somerset attractions. Lone Oak Cottage is only 2 miles from the busy town of Castle Cary, although the nearest neighbours are about half a mile away! The bungalow was built in 1952 and was originally home to the herdsmen. It was named after the solitary oak tree in the large field behind it. When we sold the herd of dairy cows in 2003, we renovated Lone Oak and have added hand rails, a recliner chair and a 'raiser' chair to make it suitable for those guests who need a bit of help. The cottage is now rated with an M1 Grading by Quality in Tourism (Visit Britain). Please see our - access statement - for more details. Although Lone Oak is suitable for older or slightly disabled guests, it is ideal for families: you may walk, have a picnic or play football in the fields behind and to the side of the property - as long as the farms beef herd are not grazing there! Several families have visited with Grannie and Grandpa.

It was from this house, using a telescope of his own design that William discovered the planet Uranus in 1781. His observations helped to double the known size of the solar system. Following a tradition of the great astronomers of the Renaissance he pushed forward the science of building telescopes. He was rewarded for his work by King George III, and also received the Copley Medal. Caroline also made a huge contribution to the field of astronomy. |

Their King was Ine of Wessex, who was widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of the Abbey. He was a local man who boosted the status and income of the Abbey, and it is said that he put up a stone church, the base of which forms the west end of the nave.
