The ideal destination for families, friends or couples. Wonderful ambience combined with stunning surroundings make for the ideal holiday getaway! With so much to see and do in the area you will never get bored!
The Wells area
WELLS
The cottage is a short stroll from all the main sites of this gem of a medieval city. Take your time to explore the Cathedral and the moated Bishop’s Palace. www.wellscathedral.org.uk and www.bishopspalacewells.co.uk. Stop for a coffee or a leisurely lunch in one of the many coffee shops and eateries in the town. On Wednesdays and Saturdays there is an excellent market in the market square with a wide variety of craft, food and general interest stalls. If you like to walk or cycle there are lots of circular routes from Wells with plenty of good village pubs to incorporate into your trip! Wells does have a small independent cinema showing a selection of the latest releases. A giant multiplex it is not but it is a good option on a wet day. Wells also has a good local swimming pool on the outskirts of town if the kids need some exercise.
GLASTONBURY
Glastonbury Abbey is another famous ecclesiastical site in the middle of this quaint Somerset town steeped in history and mysticism. If you think you are fit enough, climb Glastonbury Tor (my, reasonably fit, 80 year old father could manage it!) «www.glastonbury.co.uk»
WOOKEY HOLE CAVES
Learn about the Witch of Wookey in a visit to these caves on the outskirts of Wells. Always popular with the children with plenty for them to see and do once you have toured the caves and a popular option in bad weather. «www.wookey.co.uk»
CHEDDAR CAVES
As if having one set of caves in the area was not enough, Wells has two! Apart from some spectacular caves Cheddar is also famous for its cheese of course. «www.cheddarcaves.co.uk» In June there are lots of opportunities to pick your own strawberries in the many strawberry fields scattered around the Cheddar area.
BATH
Slightly further afield but worth a visit is the Regency city of Bath. Admire the architecture in the famous Crescent and Circus, both a short stroll from the centre of town. You must see the ancient Roman Baths which are really well presented in a user/child friendly tour. For a modern take on the spa try the Thermae Bath Spa if you have the time (and no children in tow). «visitbath.co.uk» and «www.thermaebathspa.com»
BRISTOL
Plenty to see and do in Brunel’s city including a lovely zoo although most come for the excellent shopping especially in the newly designed Cabot Circus shopping mall. «visitbristol.co.uk»
WESTON SUPER MARE
The archetypal seaside resort complete with ever popular donkey rides. Sadly the amusement arcade at the end of the pier burned down a year or so ago but is in the process of being rebuilt and now there is a new attraction in the form of a Big Wheel. Don’t expect golden sand or even to see the sea – it isn’t known as “Weston Super Mud” for nothing but it is a perennial favourite with kids of all ages and you can make terrific sand castles! «www.whatsonwestonsupermare.co.uk»
HAYNES MOTOR MUSEUM
A good choice on wet days and popular with the boys (of all ages) with a great selection of vehicles of all sorts. «www.haynesmotormuseum.com»
FLEET AIRARM MUSEUM
Another good wet day choice with exhibits which will interest all ages «www.fleetairarm.com»

Everything has been thought about and provided in this beautiful cottage. The weather during our stay was mixed, but staying in by the fire was never a hardship. We had a superb holiday and came home relaxed and refreshed. We would highly recommend |

Perfect location for sightseeing, recommend membership to The National Trust as so many wonderful properties to visit in this part of Somerset. Wells is totally charming, steeped in wonderful history and offers a fantastic market - not just touristy, but good to see so many locals using a 'proper' market with no tatty cheap clothes stalls! Countryside fantastic, recommend a car as hills very steep - especially Cheddar Gorge. Best holiday house ever stayed in with regard to how thoughtfully kitted out - mirrors in good places, quality china and glasses etc etc - not the average holiday let by a long way. Would certainly re-visit and most comfortable for a family of four - our teenagers are perhaps a little unusual as love history and NT properties, but our 20year old Uni student daughter loved the charity shops in Wells and was very pleased with her bargains. Bath well worth a visit - rather busy, so not for young children - the Assembly Rooms were stunning. |

Our family (parents, two teenagers, two kids) had a great week in the cottage. Everything worked well! Absolute high-quality-cottage which leaves no wishes free! Excellent information about the cottage and the surroundings in a booklet. Excellent accomodation! Incredible: 4 tv-screens! 2 complete bathrooms! Perfect up-to-date- technique! Even when we had a damage (bedlight fell to the bottom and broke), the owner demanded no compensation!!! The absolut only problem: parking! As we are 6 persons, we could not afford going to the nearby "Fountain Inn", and we had to find another parking space, which was a problem. To be recommended at any time to everyone! |
