Bower Coach House is a charming cottage located in Bower Hinton, near Martock in Somerset, South West England. This delightful property, which accommodates up to three guests, is set within a historical context as it was once part of a coaching inn known as the Red Lion, dating back to the 1600s. The cottage maintains several original features that add to its character, while offering modern comforts. It comprises one bedroom featuring a king-size sleigh bed and an en-suite shower room, making it a cozy retreat for couples or small families.
The layout of Bower Coach House is designed for comfort and convenience, with an open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area situated on the ground floor.

The property is accessed through the original arched entrance of the coach house, leading into a secure garage area that accommodates one car. However, it is important to note that the cottage is not wheelchair accessible, and there is a narrow, steep staircase leading to the first floor.
