Quail Trail

A rural break in Somerset should be all about enjoying nature with as little interruption as possible — and this is why Quail Trail is a great place to be. With acres of greenery surrounding you, pristine wildlife, and Mendip Hills as a backdrop, staying here will recharge your batteries. This is a sleek eco-cottage equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, from a kitchen with a modern coffee machine to a large Villeroy and Bosch en-suite bathroom. The wrap-around terrace features a few cosy hangout spaces, and let's not forget that you'll get the prime spa experience at any time of the day with a built-in outdoor hot tub. For those who have a long watchlist of movies to catch up on, the big screen TV by the wood-burning stove will prove to be extra useful and in the silence of Strawberry Fields Park, nothing will disturb you. When you're ready to turn in for the night, a luxuriously soft bedroom awaits.

Home truths:
* The house rules are quite strict — no smoking 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
