Hit the Deck

Hit the Deck: Somerset

Nestled at the foot of the Mendip Hills within a 14-acre country estate, you'll find this eco-lodge retreat. Perfect for families, there's plenty of space inside and out to spill out and relax here. When the sun shines, enjoy alfresco breakfasts or evening barbecues on the south-facing deck before whiling away a few hours in the hot tub. And on wintery months, snuggle up for a family movie night in the stylish living space – there's a DVD player and a selection of films to choose from. When it's time to embrace the great outdoors, you'll be within easy reach of all the region's must-sees. Don your hiking boots for bracing walks along the West Mendip Way pass, just two minutes from your door. Spend a morning strolling around the charming village of Cheddar (less than ten minutes drive) to pick up some obligatory cheese and cider. 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. Just be sure to make it home for dusk – there's no finer place to watch the day turn to night than in the bubbling hot tub. Turn on the LED lighting to set the mood and let the stars be your only entertainment.
