About the area

Yarlington is one of Somerset’s most attractive and sought-after villages, surrounded by gently rolling countryside yet well placed for access to neighbouring towns and excellent transport links.

At its heart stands St Mary’s Church, the newly reopened and family-run "The Stag's Head" pub, and the renowned Yarlington House, an elegant Georgian manor with beautiful gardens. The village is known for its welcoming community, traditional architecture, and peaceful rural surroundings.

The nearby towns of Castle Cary, Bruton, Sherborne and Wincanton all provide a good range of everyday amenities, including supermarkets, independent shops, doctors, dentists, pubs, restaurants and cafés. Bruton in particular has gained a reputation for culture and dining, with the Hauser & Wirth gallery and award-winning restaurants attracting visitors from across the country.

“The Newt in Somerset” nearby is home to beautiful countryside walks set in the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate, there are a Hotel & Spa, a Farm shop, restaurants and a house & garden shop. Located on the fringes of Yarlington, 'The Farmyard' is one of the Newts' most exclusive and luxurious hotel offerings.

There are many excellent schools within easy reach, including King’s School in Bruton (6 miles), Hazlegrove (6 miles), Millfield (19 miles), Port Regis, All Hallows, Sandroyd, Clayesmore, Perrot Hill and the Sherborne Schools.
