The Starting Gate - luxury studio apartment, rural location, 1m from Bruton

The Starting Gate is a purpose built studio flat (sleeps 2+1) situated in a beautiful, tranquil, rural location approximately one mile from the historic town of Bruton in Somerset. It is ideally situated for single travellers or couples wanting to explore the beautiful countryside and visit the many local attractions. A dedicated broadband connection and quiet surroundings also make The Starting Gate an ideal base for those on a business trip in the area.
As we run a private, well equipped competition stable yard it is also possible to bring your horse with you subject to appropriate arrangements. There is access to plenty of off road and quiet lane hacking and there are excellent competition venues close by.
