With a wealth of glorious countryside, Somerset provides an ideal location for those wishing to enjoy a more sedate break and enjoys fantastic walks and mountain bike trails. Home to the world famous Cheddar Gorge, Somerset also boasts the UK's smallest city of Wells, with its breathtaking cathedral, Bath, famed for its Roman baths and Glastonbury Tor and Abbey, all of which are easily accessible from The Cottage.

The seaside resort of Weston Super Mare is just a 15 minute drive away.

Cheddar Caves and Gorge are a 10-15 minute drive away. A major tourist attraction, Cheddar is home to cheddar cheese and the world famous Cheddar Man, Britain oldest complete skeleton. Well worth a visit!

To enjoy Britain most spectacular underground caverns, visit Wookey Hole. With its new KING KONG and the Valley of the dinosaurs attraction now open, visitors can wonder through the valley of the dinosaurs, featuring over 20 life size dinosaurs!

The Star Inn, opposite the property provides good food and a superb carvery and offers good value for money. However, for a real taste of Somerset, try the Swan Inn at Rowberrow. Created from three miners cottages, the pub has been around since the late 1700s and started its life as a cider house. Home-made food served 7 days a week and with local thatchers cider brands available, a visit to the Inn is highly recommended.
