Property code: OC-P30180

Framed by the breathtaking backdrop of 18 acres of farmland and steeped in rich history spanning centuries gone by, this beautiful bolthole welcomes couples to explore the wonders of the Somerset countryside. Those looking to reconnect with the great outdoors can uncover miles of scenic country lanes and winding footpaths meandering through the heart of the Somerset countryside from this picturesque location on the edge of the quiet village of Chewton Mendip (1.5 miles). Keen outdoor explorers can hike the hilltops, valleys and grassland of the breathtaking Mendip Hills, whilst culture vultures can explore the rich heritage of Bath 13 miles away, home to the spectacular Roman Baths, a stunning cathedral, and a fabulous array of independent boutiques and local cafes. Uncover the world beneath your feet at the famous Wookey Hole Caves 4 miles away.

Retaining much of its original, 17th-century character, boasting exposed stone walls and a vaulted oak-beamed ceiling, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner perfectly reflects the cottage’s rich heritage, brought to life by an opulent palette of rich teal which sets a truly warming ambience. As the cooler evening air settles, fire up the roaring wood burner to keep your toes toasty as you unwind and dine with a loved one long into the evening. Sharing the same character as the rest of this home-from-home, featuring a stunning, high vaulted ceiling and more beautiful brickwork, the gorgeous super-king-size bedroom is bursting with charm, guaranteeing a peaceful rest before kick-starting your next adventure with a long soak in the delightful free-standing bath in the stylish bathroom with its own TV.

From sunrise to sunset, the patio courtyard is a haven of serenity; unwind weary walking muscles in the wood-fired Dutch hot tub or beside the open-air wood burner as you admire panoramic views of the unspoilt countryside beyond. If you’ve got plenty of energy left before bedtime, explore the 18 acres of the surrounding private estate before diving into the 20-metre heated indoor swimming pool. After this, explore the sauna, steam room and fully equipped gym or walk the scenic woodland trails to find a peaceful lake and the Pygmy goat enclosure. There is ample private parking available in the on-site car park.

This is the second time we have stayed in the last 2 months, which shows how highly we rate this place! There is nothing we can fault - the quality of accommodation is to an exceptional standard, the attention detail second to none and above everything else the first class service from the owners Robbie and Tracy. I would highly recommend this placRead moree - you won't be disappointed! Hide
