Bed and Breakfast at Old Harp House in Somerset - Anne and Andrew Larpent - +44 (0)1460 242301

Welcome to Old Harp House

Situated about half a mile from the main A303 London to Cornwall road, Old Harp House is a Grade 2 listed Somerset farmhouse that dates back to the early seventeenth century. This substantial family home has recently been extensively restored to its former glory and boasts an original Tudor hamstone fireplace in the drawing room, a magnificent inglenook in the kitchen and an external stone turret that houses an unusual stone winder staircase.

Old Harp House is in a quiet and peaceful location in the wonderful, friendly Somerset village of Over Stratton. The house and garden is surrounded by acres of apple orchards where a wealth of wildlife including badgers, deer, buzzards and owls, can be seen.

Decorated in traditional English style with family portraits and paintings and antique furniture, there are log burning stoves for extra cosy comfort on cool evenings. The garden, which runs down to the orchards, is a lovely place to wander amongst mature trees, with long views towards Ham Hill and Crewkerne.

Anne and Andrew Larpent offer a warm welcome to guests visiting this wonderful part of Somerset for several days or as a stop over on the journey further west. There are three well-equipped rooms with comfortable king size, double or twin beds, all with en-suite facilities. Televisions are available in the bedrooms and also wi-fi computer connection.

Tea and homemade cake await your arrival. There is plenty of off-road parking.

'Doing Our Bit for the Planet'

Heating and hot water are produced by a geo-thermal ground loop system running round (and one metre under) the garden, which transfers warmth from the ground through a heat pump to provide our hot water and central heating. We try to be carbon neutral (our electricity comes from a ‘green’ source). The house is also ventilated by means of a warm air recovery and recycling system.
