Deck Out

Don't be fooled by the rustic exterior of this eco-lodge nestled at the foot of the Mendip Hills. Inside, this pristine home offers every creature comfort you could imagine from a countryside retreat. Stunning scenery takes centre stage here – and rightly so. One glance at the rolling countryside from the wrap-around deck, and you'll see why. Come together for lazy breakfasts in the sociable kitchen and dining area with the patio doors slid right back to let the sunshine in. Pad out onto the deck to soak away the morning in the hot tub. Sneak back to the king-sized bed with a freshly brewed coffee and a good book. Or fire up the barbecue and gather your troops for some alfresco dining. Wherever you choose to be, those stunning vistas will be right there. And when the great outdoors finally comes calling, you won't have far to go. Set within a 14-acre estate, pop your wellies on and explore the surrounding verdant landscape. Or jump in the car for a stroll around the charming village of Cheddar (less than ten minutes drive). And a little further, the historic city of Wells (twenty-minute drive) - home to a picturesque cathedral, the beautiful Bishop's Palace, and a twice-weekly farmer's market for all the cheese and cider you could muster.
