This wood-clad cabin sits at the bottom of the Mendip Hills, surrounded by the beautiful Somerset countryside. Spot wildlife in the Rodney Stoke Nature Reserve, a twenty-minute walk away, or dander into the village of Draycott in ten minutes. And it’s forty minutes on foot along the walking trails into Cheddar town, where you can stock up on the region’s famous protected cheese. Perhaps a grilled cheese toastie on the wood-fired brick barbecue is on the cards when you get back. There’s plenty of room to dine and lounge outside on the wrap-around terrace. Or, fire up the hot tub for a post-hike soak and watch the sunset over the rolling Mendip Hills around you. Floor to ceiling glass doors open up to blend indoors with outdoors and mean you can enjoy the view even when the weather is moody and dramatic, from the comfort of the sofa. The kitchen has everything you need for family meals (macaroni cheese with oodles of Cheddar cheese, perhaps?) and you’ll soon drift off to the land of nod in sprawling king-size beds and peaceful surrounds.
