Halswell Lodge - Bridgwater or Glastonbury, Somerset
![]() |
|||||
Halswell Lodge is a delightful period cottage situated in the middle of the sleepy village of Goathurst, Somerset. Constructed in the last year of King William IV's reign in 1836 and built to serve as the entrance lodge to Halswell Park, the thatched dwelling was finished in the then fashionable Cottage Orne style.
The Lodge is a welcoming cosy hideaway for a small family or perfect location for a getaway-from-it-all weekend. Situated within the village it retains a sense of privacy while offering plenty of space outside for children to play. Serious gardeners will enjoy the outdoors too with colour surrounding the lodge for much of the year. Halswell Lodge is very easily accessed from Junction 24 of the M5, which is 6 miles away, and there are great walks in the Quantock Hills from the front door of the property. The wonderful gardens of Hestercombe are only a few miles away, so too is Dunster Castle, and the sacred site that is Glastonbury Abbey is only 15 miles east.
