Pink's The Word

Pink's The Word: Somerset

When you're in need for a little retreat in nature, cottages like Pink's The Word are a lifesaver. Perfect for a small family or a group of like-minded friends, this eco-cottage is a self-contained retreat that showcases the best that Somerset has to offer. From long walks and birdwatching to short trips to places like the Cheddar Gorge, you'll have plenty of things to see and experience, but don't forget to save some time for farmer's markets in the nearby villages. Since your cottage comes with a beautiful (and well-equipped) kitchen, bring your recipe book with you and take time for slow and thoughtful meals. When you're not exploring and cooking, spend time on the wrap-around terrace where you'll find a few great spots to read and catch the sun rays. To take your commitment to relaxation even further, go for a proper soak in the outdoor hot tub and enjoy the green views surrounding your holiday home.

Home truths:
* The house rules are quite strict — no smoking, no pets, and no parties anywhere on the premises
* Due to the unfenced jacuzzi and steps, this home isn't suitable for small children and infants
* You'll need a car to get around the area — the public transport is less than ideal
