Mosterton

We contacted the owners of the cottage that we had booked into for winter to see if we could get access in early. Thankfully for us, due to the increased tier system measures, we were able to move in immediately so we made our way over on Christmas eve.
The cottage is part of a group of old barn buildings which have been converted to holiday cottages - we have a small cottage in a terrace which was lovely and cosy on our arrival. We spent the afternoon emptying the van into the cottage which will be our home for the winter months.
The cottage is surrounded by farming land - green fields for cattle and sheep, walking tracks abound. On Christmas day, waking up to sunshine, we went for a short walk across the fields towards South Perrott - returning by the Langmoor Trail track to Mosterton. It was very wet underfoot but the views across the countryside well worth the effort.
We enjoyed a full Christmas dinner - turkey, stuffing pigs in blankets and all - excellent.
On boxing day we wandered into the village to get the Saturday paper and enjoyed a peaceful dayLes mer
