About the home

Lavender Cottage has recently been fully refurbished and now offers lovely accommodation for couples or families from which to explore the local area. The accommodation consists of a lovely large, airy sitting / dining room with woodburning stove which looks out onto the garden through the French doors, a recently refitted kitchen with all modern conveniences, an outside utility room with laundry facilities, a south facing double bedroom and a twin bedded room with added sleepover bed for an adult / child or travel cot by prior arrangement.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The sitting room has been well equipped with two sofas to seat four / five people, widescreen TV with Sky, DVD and CD player, plus wireless internet access, as well as plenty of CDs, DVDs, children's toys, board games and books for those rainy days.

For cosy (and romantic) winter evenings in, a woodburning stove has just been installed for the added comfort of our guests. In the dining area there is a contemporary white dining table with four matching chairs as well as extra fold away chairs for visiting guests. A high chair can be provided on request.

The kitchen has recently been refitted and now benefits from a cooker, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge / freezer. The cottage also has the added advantage of a utility room (approached from the outside) which houses the washing machine and tumble dryer.

Upstairs, the bathroom has a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and close coupled WC.

The main double bedroom has a front aspect with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. It is fitted with white shaker style furniture, and has stripped floors and a double bed. There is also a wardrobe, a chest of drawers and two bedside cabinets to provide you with plenty of storage for your stay.

Both the master bedroom and the twin bedded room can accommodate an additional child’s (inflatable) bed or travel cot, both of which can be provided if required. We can also provide a full height inflatable single bed for the second bedroom for occasional overnight (adult) guests. There is plenty of storage in the second bedroom with a wardrobe and bedside cabinets. Both bedrooms have portable CD players.

Further details outdoors:
Outside there is a small, fully enclosed and sunny south facing garden. A terrace immediately outside the patio doors provides a private seating area with patio furniture, and there is a small level, lawned area. Steps lead down to the outside laundry room which is attached to the cottage.

There is private off road parking for one car with further on-street parking spaces nearby.

Further details

Long weekend breaks are available all year round out of peak school holiday weeks,

A winter long weekend break (arrive any time Friday, depart anytime Monday - subject to availability) is £200.00 fully inclusive of all heating, lighting, bed linen, towels and the first bag of logs for the woodburning stove.

Alternatively we can offer Spring / Summer long weekend breaks, or four night mid-week stays.

Please contact us for more details and prices.

Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Mendip Hills offer great walks and are right on the doorstep. Nearby Cheddar has been a popular tourist destination for many years with its famous caves, gorge and Jacobs Ladder. Just four miles away is the medieval town of Axbridge, with its historic King Johns Hunting Lodge and 15th C Church of St Johns. The cathedral city of Wells is 15 minutes away and Glastonbury and Street both a similar distance. Slightly further a field but both within easy travelling distance are Bristol and Bath and the seaside towns of Weston Super Mare and Burnham On Sea are both only twelve miles away.

“Take time to smell the roses - and lavender of course!” As a place to retreat from the world but within easy reach of amusement when needed - Lavender Cottage is exactly the right place. Beautifully decorated with a modern feel, the cottage is cmfortable and has every possible thing one could need from soft white towels to Scrabble and Ludo and most importantly , very comfortable beds. When encountered the neighbours are friendly and even invited us to pick plums from their tree, but the small garden is secluded enough to give privacy. The location is ideal for walking or touring and there are shops and a variety of restaraunts just a short drive away. For those who want to stay in the village there is a pub just a stones throw away and another a little further. We met the owner who was friendly and helpful and we felt confident that should there be a problem that she would respond to any requests we made. In fact there were no problems. If my husband and wish to visit that area of the country again we would almost certainly chose Lavender Cottage again.

Guestbook for Lavender Cottage

"I'm just writing to let you know that my family and I had a great stay at Lavender Cottage and to thank you. This break was just what we all needed and the accommodation was fantastic and made it so easy for us to relax and have a great time. Somerset is beautiful and certainly made an impact on all of us (it was the first time for all of us). Nearby Cheddar Gorge provided a great (but exhausting) day out. I never expected it to be so stunning.

" An enjoyable stay in a great cottage which has it all! Very central to the 'must have' list. Unfortunately our 'must do' list got longer, not shorter, so we will have to return again one day to work on that list! "
